  1. Would Love to Hear Worst Student Nurse Fumbles

    CEG replied to sonnyluv's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am new to the educator role so trying to prove myself to the nursing staff as competent as well as the students. Last semester, my first, a student was bathing a newborn and removed the infant...

  2. First Bump on a Bumpy Road

    CEG replied to NickB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So ridiculous! There aren't a lot of male midwives, probably partially due to idiots like this! The male Ob/GYNs of the world don't seem to have any

  3. Vaginal Breech

    CEG replied to mamafeliz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Unfortunately I don't see this changing in most facilities anytime soon. I would also love to be a fly on the wall when a doc who previously told his patients that lady partsl breech was too dangerous...

  4. Nursing at Ft. Gordon

    CEG replied to merryfont's topic in Government, Military

    Wow, you sound just like me. And I am trying to do the same thing! To the OP I live in the Augusta area (Columbia County) and I HATE it! I am originally a small town midwesterner who most recently...

  5. CNM school

    CEG replied to tam777's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think schools MAKE their students place IUDs but you certainly have to be knowlegable about them and other types of birth control. To be honest, I think you should consider very strongly...

  6. Relationship between H1N1 vac and resp distress?

    CEG replied to TooterIA's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Around here most pregnant women have received the H1N1 so it stands to reason that most babies would be born to mothers who had received the H1N1 vaccine, respiratory distress or not. Although I...

  7. considering military nursing, crna in the army, but not sure

    CEG replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

    I can't say much specifically about the CRNA program but Army deployments are 12-15 months. If you are considering reserves I think CRNAs are lumped in with physicians in the short deployments- 90...

  8. help me figure out what went wrong with this pt's labor!

    CEG replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    All of this!!! Birth centers do monitor the baby, they do intermittent auscultation which is just as effective as continuous monitoring with a lower morbidity rate (fewer unnecesary c-sections). It...

  9. OB/GYN or a CNM?? HELP!!

    CEG replied to OBluv19's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Well, first of all I wouldn't be too concerned about applications. Most med students I have worked with a young people straight out of college with little life experience and no bedside manner or...

  10. Co-bedding twins - telling the difference!!

    CEG replied to LuvofNursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe I am misunderstanding but shouldn't they be wearing id

  11. Homebirth... anyone catching babies at home?

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

    I would like to, but it isn't possible where I am as the law requires physician "supervision" and no physician will sign. I just wanted to say I used to live in IL and had my own homebirth there and...

  12. new terminology for fetal monitoring

    CEG replied to TC06's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm curious how they explained that (it's been awhile since I had a class). If you are looking at a 15 minute strip and you have variability that is moderate in some places and minimal in others, how...

  13. What would you have done in my situatio

    CEG replied to ldcmw1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You were totally right. Is there an automated system to report risks or near misses? At my location you can use a computer system to report advers events

  14. new terminology for fetal monitoring

    CEG replied to TC06's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, as I would understand it, you are going to look at the entire period of what you are charting on. So if it is q15 then you are charting for that entire 15 minute period. If it is Q30 then you...

  15. Why would an OB want to sign a practice agreement with a CNM?

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

    I think there are kind of two schools of thought. One is that there are many doctors who support the midwifery model of care and believe in childbirth choices so they agree to sign collaborative...

  16. What sets CNM's apart from other labor and delivery nurses??

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

    CNMs are primary care providers. We provide gyne, well woman, prenatal, postpartum, primary care of women, and perform deliveries. Labor and delivery nurses are specialty nurses who take care of...

  17. IM/Rhogam Injection Gone Wrong?

    CEG replied to cougSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    IM injections can be pretty painful if you haven't had one lately. If she tended to rate her pain high, then very likely was the pain from the IM injection. If we were concerned about an IV injection...

  18. Second Career Nurse in Maternity

    CEG replied to tlstackh's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I will second that no hospital delivery I have ever seen comes close to any home or birth center delivery. It is night and day to be a "lay" midwife vs working in a hospital birth unit. But! there is...

  19. An OB's Birth Plan

    CEG replied to Poppy_Petal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That is a great idea!! Some patients have expectations that they never verbalize and others just never think. What a great tool to get everyone on board with things, especially staff! I may have to...

  20. Ethical Dilemmas in L&D Nursing

    CEG replied to Work in Progress's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you are anything like me, if you choose the right topic you will find that 10 pages is not enough. Some of these topics are soooooo thought provoking. Find something you are passionate

  21. Ethical Dilemmas in L&D Nursing

    CEG replied to Work in Progress's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For me personally, my biggest ethical issue is patients who are undergoing procedures like induction or c-section for no good reason setting them up for additional risk. It's tough to educate your...

  22. HTN assciated with preclampsia

    CEG replied to IllinoisCCEMT-P's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, didn't mean lasix... just noticed my

  23. HTN assciated with preclampsia

    CEG replied to IllinoisCCEMT-P's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have always used only labetalol. Both are pregnancy category C but it seems that no matter where rI have been no one would give anything but labetalol for pregnant patients and no one was willing...

  24. Cook catheter for cervical ripening

    CEG replied to ldcmw1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's how I have seen it done too. I cannot imagine this bag of fluid hanging from the

  25. OR -C/S QUESTIONS

    CEG replied to ldcmw1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At our facility there is a dedicated baby nurse who wears a sterile gown/gloves and holds a sterile blanket to receive the baby from the OB. The baby nurse goes into the sterile field to get the baby...
