    daisybaby replied to texasnursingstudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I figured it was probably a mistype :) I just started Nuva Ring myself (week and a half ago) and so far I LOVE it! I tried a lower-dose BCP for a few months (neuro. said my migraines were in part r/t...

  5. Nuva Ring questions

    daisybaby replied to texasnursingstudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not sure if this falls under the 'giving advice' Terms of Service, but definitely do NOT use birth control pills as back up after you've put in the Nuva Ring- too many hormones! Use a non-hormonal...

  8. ob interview-but here's my problem

    daisybaby replied to hippiemama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree you should be very up front if the position is in LDRP or if there is a chance you may ever be floated to PP or NBN. If you are opposed to providing circ care teaching to parents and/or...

  9. Question about car seat policy

    daisybaby replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    Suesquatch, do you know where I can find this mandate? I work in NY state and, much to my chagrin,we do not follow such a policy. For "liability reasons", we are not to assist in putting the NBN...

  12. I'm Being Disciplined for Looking Up My Own Labs

    daisybaby replied to daisybaby's topic in General Nursing

  13. I'm Being Disciplined for Looking Up My Own Labs

    daisybaby replied to daisybaby's topic in General Nursing

    Touche! You'd do well in management (I mean that as a compliment). Review of policy states that corrective action for offenses such as mine will "be consistently applied." I wonder if that will...

  14. I'm Being Disciplined for Looking Up My Own Labs

    daisybaby replied to daisybaby's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. Yes, I should have looked at our privacy policy before I went ahead and looked at my labs. Curiosity got the better of me. My concern and aggravation is over the...

  19. Strange post-partum behavior...

    daisybaby replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in Ob/Gyn
