Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can give me feedback on their work experience at Washington Hospital Labor & Delivery in Fremont, CA? Curious about the work culture, work flow, doctors, and any inputs. Thanks!

Just wondering, at your hospital, are you given any education hours or even a dollar amount that you can use to take classes or conferences? If so, how many hours and what dollar amount? I know sometimes if this benefit is offered, the amount is also...

Just read you first paragraph and it sounds like hell. We only do at most, 3 couplets care.

Our FBC (LDRP) , nurses are assigned to either learn PACU or scrubs. It works out fine because if an Rn is the scrub for our shift, the scrub Rn only takes mother baby couplets for patient care and if she needs to go scrub, the rest of the rns will l...

At my current hospital, there is no limit in the number of visitors. However most patients choose to only have the significant other there only, sometimes that is also because they are military family and are far away from their families. I used to...

I've been in L&D at this new facility for about 2 years now. Here, they provide our scrubs for us and they wash them for us. My previous hospital did not provide scrubs for the nurses. We had to provide our own and we had to wash them ourselves....

Yes. It's standard at our hospital we have emergency medications at every delivery. You never know when you really need them, always good to have them. And if you don't need it, you can always return them.

I hate the feeling... Can't stop thinking of what else I could have done... Or what I should have done... Even moments of "maybe this isn't for me anymore"... Even as far as" i think I should quit... Find something less stressful " Is it normal to fe...

Standard order, start at 1 mU then increase by 1 - 2 every 30 minutes to a maximum of 20 mU.

I would call HR, they can give you a general idea before you decide to apply and whether its for you or not. Let us know what you find out please.

I've thought about moving to PA but the pay for RN is very low. I believe CA and NY are the top paying states for RN. I don't mean to brag and please don't take it wrong but I have 2 years of experience and I get over 100k. But then again, living exp...

I'm in CA, at a baby-friendly hospital. We average 100-110 births per month. Active labor, always 1:1. Mother baby always 1:3. Charge RN never takes patients. We are pretty well staff, which I'm grateful for.

At this new facility, they are very short...just "SVD female" then "placenta delivered". I was trained to be more detail from my old facility.... "Spontaneous vaginal delivery of viable female/male.... Stimulated and dried with towel... Vigorous cry...

We are baby friendly, and we do LDRP. Recently one of the major change to baby friendly is skin to skin immediately after birth for one uninterrupted hour! That means no baby weight, no meds, nothing besides vital signs, all this of course if baby co...

I'm still new in the nursing field but there are some ideas... * Try public health... look into county jobs? Your public health department? How about the World Health Organization? or the CDC... You might surprise yourself. * Be an nurse educator e...

I have a little over 1 year experience in L&D and rarely was trained doing the Leopold maneuvers...JW how it is at other facilities.... Am I'm in trouble that at my place we don't practice it???

Just wondering if any of you guys work 8 hours night for 5 nights/week.... How do you do it?? It's different from 12hrs night for 3 nights/week. I feel like I will always be tired and won't be able to do anything when I'm off....if I do this shift. A...
