  1. 1st 2005 Baby...

    pebbles1977 replied to USA987's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just wondering, was it NSVD or

  2. What made you become a ob-gyn nurse?

    pebbles1977 replied to WhisperingEchos's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi there! I'm not much older than you, only by 10 years (I know, it probably seems ancient to you!). Anyways, when I was about 14 I decided I wanted to be a nurse. My grandmother was a nurse, and I...

  3. Have you guys had to do ABs?

    pebbles1977 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't want this to turn into a huge AB debate, but I do want to hear from those who are opposed to this and have to work around it, or else not be able to work in the job they love. On my former...

  4. Heard a sad, scary story from my preceptor today

    pebbles1977 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Today I had a preceptor with about 17 years exp. She was quizzing me on what complications may occur with the patient we had. It was a big baby, and we got talking about shoulder distocia (sp?)....

  5. "On your unit, what are your duties as CHARGE NURSE?"

    pebbles1977 replied to passing thru's topic in General Nursing

    At least you get a differential for charge! They don't do that in our hospital. I'm in a new job now, but before this, I was the clinical lead aka charge for days. All what you wrote I did, plus...

  6. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    pebbles1977 replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok, I have to admit I only got through about 1/2 of this thread, so forgive me if my message is out of place. I just wanted to share a situation that happened recently. I was a part of a quasi...

  7. Heard a sad, scary story from my preceptor today

    pebbles1977 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So, at the nurse's desk today I heard an interesting conversation, which I can't wait to ask the nurse who told me the story I shared with you about. Basically to question if this is where the tale...

  8. Heard a sad, scary story from my preceptor today

    pebbles1977 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry Nurseguy for jumping on you like that. That was out of line, and I do apologize. I guess being a "newbie" in L&D and being duped has me a bit sensitive! BTW I do know about snipe...

  9. Heard a sad, scary story from my preceptor today

    pebbles1977 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sarcastic much nurseguy? Let it go, this is a story I did hear from a preceptor, true, urban legend, or none of the above. I posted an honest question, and hoped to hear from others who may or may...

  10. Delivered a baby today!

    pebbles1977 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh and I just got lucky having the CNM there; she was there to deliver, not really to help me do it. I just had gloves on and she didn't! So she let me go ahead and do it

  11. Delivered a baby today!

    pebbles1977 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, having the CNM was great. She was patient with me, asked me critical thinking questions after the delivery, and explained everything so well. The midwives are all great that I work with; I...

  12. post partum psychosis

    pebbles1977 replied to obeyacts2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What is on the Reba CD that you ask the parents not to listen to? Just curious. And do you say that to all the parents, or were you just joking?

  13. Heard a sad, scary story from my preceptor today

    pebbles1977 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    smkoe- From what I understand, the shoulders can get stuck with a big baby at the pelvic bones (or that's my understanding - I'm new to this too, and have been out of nursing school for a bit!). The...

  14. Heard a sad, scary story from my preceptor today

    pebbles1977 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Gotcha! So could there ever be an instance where I guess it wasn't realized that the shoulders couldn't be delivered until too late? Would there be a time ever when you couldn't get the head back up...

  15. Heard a sad, scary story from my preceptor today

    pebbles1977 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    She's not my regular preceptor, but other than that story, I found my experience with her today wonderful. It's nice to hear that that may not be true. Her explanation to the c/s was that they were...

  16. When are they in trouble? (Decels)

    pebbles1977 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi again ladies! It's been awhile since I posted. I am in my 2nd week of L&D, and today had a class on strips, etc. One thing that concerns me is knowing when there's trouble vs maybe a normal...

  17. When are they in trouble? (Decels)

    pebbles1977 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you so much. That really does help. I'm not sure where to find more classes, but I'll look (this one I was told: you're going to a strip class on Monday), so I went! I just am scared and...

  18. Does this sound like something I should do?

    pebbles1977 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi all! I've written before about my changing career paths from Gyn onc to L&D very soon. It ends up because of my honeymoon and pay period dates that I will have 3 1/2 weeks off between the two....

  19. Does this sound like something I should do?

    pebbles1977 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for the support! I'm getting married and honeymooning in Pigeon Forge, TN. It's right near Gatlinburg. We chose it (and this time of year) for the foliage in the mountains. We've rented a...

  20. Does this sound like something I should do?

    pebbles1977 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Make that, "since I will be on orientation soon

  21. Mad at my manager!

    pebbles1977 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, so I've learned slowly but surely that my boss is the queen of dishonesty. Masking it all in sweet talk. Have you ever met this type of person? Someone who can twist things around to make...

  22. Mad at my manager!

    pebbles1977 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks all you guys for your responses. Unfortunately (I guess is the best word I can think of), it does make me feel better. I agree with the last poster about the NMs having to/wanting to please...

  23. Anencephaly

    pebbles1977 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi guys! I don't post much here, but I read quite a bit! If anyone knows from my former posts, I work on a GYN unit that takes all the OB overflow, and I'm going to go to L&D in October. Here's...

  24. Gynecologic Oncology

    pebbles1977 replied to unknown99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you BluEyes, but as a newbie here, I might have been offended by your response if it was me (with the underlines, bolds, and caps). I personally didn't find her bump pushy or anything (not your...

  25. Gynecologic Oncology

    pebbles1977 replied to unknown99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't work in an office, but currently on an inpatient GYN/GYN Oncology unit. I've also worked a few shifts in the GYN ONC clinic in our hospital. It is so great. I couldn't imagine working any...
