I would love to take advantage. I graduated last May, so I still consider myself to be new to the profession!

I'm still fairly new to L & D. I've been there almost a year and I didnt have to care for an IUFD until after I was off of orientation! So I was totally unprepared! So I just had to tell the charge nurse that it was my first time dealing with this situation and that I would need help. It was very difficult for me and I know it would be for you. But as harsh as it may seem you kinda have to seperate yourself or else you wont get through it. You care for the patient as much as you can and give all the sympathy that you can. You be there for them but you cant get torn up over it.

I have a BSN and name tag says RN,BSN but I just sign RN. Although I am truuuly proud of my degree!!!

I actually went to college and majored in Biology. But after I couldnt pass Chemestry and Cal1, I knew it was not for me!!

My biggest frustration would have to be all of the paperwork and charting! You have to right the same thing on like 20 different forms!! I feel as though it takes away from patient care. My second biggest frustration is the 15, 16, and 17 year olds who come in to have babbies and cry bloody murder when they have to get an IV. I want to say, "I bet you werent doing all that crying when you were doing what got you here!!!" :angryfire

I have to agree with everyone else. Always refer to the policies and procedures in situations like that. Ours says that you increase Pit until the contractions are q 2-3 minutes!

I work in OB and I feel like I work in the ER!! You never know what is coming through the door. So, if you are a good OB nurse, you'll fit right in in the ER! Thats the bright side:)

What a coincidence! I am in your exact same shoes. I am a new nurse and I feel that my preceptor gives me incorrect information at times, she appears to be a bit lazy and hard to keep up with. I certainly do not want to be that type of nurse. I feel stuck because I will soon be out on my own and I'm afraid that I'll be unprepared :uhoh21:
