  1. Baby in a bag!

    RN2Bn2006 replied to elizabells's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My first "delivery" without a doctor present was a hispanic 38 weeker, delivered in bed with bag intact. I ruptured the bag to remove the baby. It freaked me out at first, as I had never seen it...

  2. Got my 1st butt chewing today - humiliating!

    RN2Bn2006 posted a topic in General Nursing

    First let me say that I work in a L/D-PP-NSY unit in a rural hospital. We only have 2 OB's and I like them both very much. I had been warned about one of them - how he was practically bi-polar - and I...

  3. Got my 1st butt chewing today - humiliating!

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    Well, Thought I would let everyone know that I have read all responses, and have considered them all. I went back to work last week for my 3 days, and did not have a delivery with him, so haven't...

  4. Your personal delivery experience- what happened

    RN2Bn2006 replied to DEB52's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm an OB/PP nurse, and I've never heard of Hemabate - can you enlighten

  5. Got my 1st butt chewing today - humiliating!

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    You are right. As much as I would like to do some of the things that have been suggested - most of them just aren't within my personality or nature. I am naturally a person who tries to keep peace in...

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    yes, the other ob would have covered for him - so i have no idea what his problem was. and, i honestly didn't think she was even going to need pitocin. as an ob nurse - we have to make judgement...

  8. Got my 1st butt chewing today - humiliating!

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe so, but in a small town where everybody knows everybody, and this is the only hospital within an hours drive, I have to choose my battles wisely. I have to have a job, and most the times, I...

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    You are oh so right in sooo many ways! I think you have hit the nail on the head!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!! You have just managed to put the whole situation in

  10. Got my 1st butt chewing today - humiliating!

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad I'm not the only one like this - I sometimes wonder if I'm "normal". I've been to several funerals in the past month or so of friends/loved ones, etc... and although my heart aches for them,...

  13. Got my 1st butt chewing today - humiliating!

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    This is not something I would do - and I KNOW it just lets him get by with this behaviour. BUT, we are a small hospital, this doctor is someone I have to deal with on a daily basis, and BECAUSE he...

  14. Got my 1st butt chewing today - humiliating!

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    Well, as bad as I hate to admit it - you are probably right. My problem with having a talk with him - is I'm afraid that my emotions might pop back up, and I do not want to appear emotional in front...

  15. Got my 1st butt chewing today - humiliating!

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    What makes me mad - is I have uttered these very words from my mouth (after witnessing what I did in nursing school) and WHAT did I do? Stand and look him in the eye, and apologize, and fight back...

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    Lets see... "what have I learned?" It doesn't pay to stay after your shift in order to help out...... and "what will I do next time" Contact mgr/DON for them to cover, Clock out after giving...

  17. Environment of the room during a code

    RN2Bn2006 posted a topic in General Nursing

    First let me say, I am a labor and delivery nurse, so do not witness codes very often, in fact I've only been in on two - one in nursing school, and one in our ICU when we had enough RN's in our...

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    wow, that's

  19. Environment of the room during a code

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your response - it explained things very well, and I can totally understand "WHY" now. Your last part about families being present - I can see a positive and negative to this. Positive...

  20. Environment of the room during a code

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I appreciate your explanation. I totally understand what you are saying. I guess if the code team is able to "converse" then that is actually a good sign - they obviously know their stuff - if...

  22. Environment of the room during a code

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your thoughts - I can see what you are saying. We've had two family friends die this week - cardiac related - unexpected, and I guess I have been thinking on these things. Nurses have...

  23. Environment of the room during a code

    RN2Bn2006 replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    Well, no I certainly would not want the people running the code to be "sobbing" or acting hysterical, and it is comforting that they are able to do these codes as a second nature - because they are so...

  24. How do you deal with all the bickering and backstabbing at work?

    RN2Bn2006 replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree with other who said - it's usually the same couple of people who are instigators. And not be sucked into it. Our department is unusual (small rural hospital) that most everyone in the...

  25. The importance of RN to BSN?

    RN2Bn2006 replied to wasabiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I took one semester off - to get accustomed to my new job. Because I still lacked a few general study pre-requisites - I started slowly, taking 2 classes a semester, including summer. Now I have...
