  1. anyone seeing this maneuver?

    CEG replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    1 or 2 fingers in the rectum? Yikes! Why can't they just wait? When are they using this maneuver? Is it used prior to vacuum/forceps if baby is not desceding or when they are impatient? I am...

  2. Docs making stupid decisions

    CEG replied to htrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :smackingf Yeah, we had a 37 week mom with "elevated" BP come in to rule out pre-eclampsia. It was ruled out... but doc induced her anyway. So, welcome to the world, baby, you'll love the NICU....

  3. Docs making stupid decisions

    CEG replied to htrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am still a student so no experience from a nursing standpoint. But with my first baby I was scheduled for post-dates induction at 42 w1 d. When I called the hospital I was told I had been bumped...

  4. single parent

    CEG replied to aniko743's topic in Government, Military

    I am not positive on this, but my understanding when I was in ROTC was that a single parent would have to give custody of their child to someone else in order to get their commission. I really don't...

  5. needing a little help

    CEG replied to BN04's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Something about risk for poor coping with labor process related to induction/ likely caesarean section. Risk for ineffective breastfeeding related to difficult labor/c-section due to induction Risk...

  6. Becoming an L&D nurse; best case scenario

    CEG replied to Elisheva's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In my area new grads are frequently hired into L&D so I would think someone with your experience and "maturity" (LOL- I am older than most of my classmates) as well as previous birth work would be...

  7. Increased fetal movement

    CEG replied to Lyndilu's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've heard this too, that increased, frantic fetal movement can precede fetal death related to some kind of cord or placenta issue. I think I may have read that in What to Expect... though, which is a...

  8. What do patients say that irks you?

    CEG replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yikes!! What those patients must have thought! I am a student nurse and I was working with a nurse the other day who was telling her patients that cytotec was a chemotherapy drug. I finally said I...

  9. Deployments in military nursing

    CEG replied to mistyval's topic in Government, Military

    Well, relatively speaking I guess. I know 6 personally and that is just from two duty stations. Not all places have them in their clinics, but many do. In order to become a CNM you must have an MSN...

  10. Deployments in military nursing

    CEG replied to mistyval's topic in Government, Military

    Old thread, but yes, the ANC has CNMs. Lots of them. They work in the OB clinics on post and deliver babies in military and civilian hospitals. I think all branches of service have them. Their AOC...

  11. Distance MSN CNM Schools

    CEG replied to lauritasol's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I've heard really great things about Frontier from other people. I e-mailed them a few months with some questions about possibly applying in the future and within a day I got back a detailed answer...

  12. Raeding the strips

    CEG replied to mkracquel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There is a site called www.perinataltrace.com that is very intereting. It has been down for awhile but I think is supposed to be back up and running this month. They put a strip and info up for...

  13. need help with paper

    CEG replied to dj44pm's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am getting ready to do one on GBS prophylaxis and evidence-based practice. I was going to do breastfeeding and PKU but there is not a lot of info out there. Also considering breastfeeding and...

  14. interventions for neonate delivered by cesarean

    CEG replied to mchup's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The hospital where I am doing clinicals sends a nurse from the NICU to every c-section to assess the babe. I am not sure if that is standard practice but you could include something about that.

  15. Can dilation reverse?

    CEG replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you read some of the crunchier childbirth books, I am thinking Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, they discuss reverse dilation as a stress/fear response. Like arriving at the hospital and feeling...

  16. Doulas in l+d,hospital setting

    CEG replied to babysfingers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Having a dad present does not displace the doula. In fact, if dad wants to be involved, I make suggestions to him and stay in the background. In a Bradley birth, dad has the knowledge, but may not be...

  17. British midwives- ?????

    CEG replied to CEG's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks for the info. I am actually a doula and lactation educator currently in an RN program starting my MS in midwifery next fall. Since we have the chance to go to England, I would love to...

  18. British midwives- ?????

    CEG posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hello, There is a chance we will be moving to England for about 4 years and I am trying to figure out what I am going to do. Right now I have a BA and I am in the RN portion of a direct entry program....

  19. Fetoscope, doppler, EFM?

    CEG replied to Elisheva's topic in Ob/Gyn

    According to ACOG, intermittent auscultation is adequate for low-risk women. However, epidurals, pitocin, etc are so prevalent that it has become routine to use it on even those without. The...

  20. water birth

    CEG replied to Almabella's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you will find it varies from hospital to hospital and provider to provider. I was GBS+ with both babies, had AROM with both babies, and labored in the tub as long as I wanted. Unfortunately...

  21. Start my L&D job September 5th!

    CEG replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Congrats! I can't wait to be in your shoes. Good

  22. Pushing positions??

    CEG posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am an aspiring L&D nurse, student nurse and doula... and I need your help again. I had a doula client last night, third child but first two were precipitous premature births. Mom was 3 cm and...

  23. I known nuttin bout birthin no babies

    CEG replied to jprn05's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just had a doula client who had a cerclage removed 3 weeks ago and doc told her she would go into labor any minute. She was induced two days ago on her due date. Also, this is just my wacky theory-...

  24. Pushing positions??

    CEG replied to CEG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the input. I have learned since that the fluid was low so that was the main reason for induction. They did a biophysical profile because the doctor apparently had trouble finding the...

  25. Got burned????

    CEG replied to heatherRNinAK's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds like you were trying to do what's best for the patient. Maybe the CNA is sensitive to this because people in the past who were lazy have tried to shove work off onto her. Maybe you could...
