  1. The baby is frank breech

    daisybaby replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a twin- my sister was vertex, and then I was delivered breech (this was 31 years ago). I asked my mom about it, and she said all she could remember is after Jennifer was delivered, the MD had...

  2. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    daisybaby replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Holy cow jeanie250! You are my hero- I need to learn how to stand up for myself as eloquently and firmly as you did. I usually come up with the perfect thing to say- when I'm in the car on the way...

  4. "Maternity Care Cost Saving Ideas" Please Share

    daisybaby replied to Caseyrnbsn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What a fantastic site- eloquent and gently

  5. "Maternity Care Cost Saving Ideas" Please Share

    daisybaby replied to Caseyrnbsn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We don't feed dads, either- and surprisingly, only the families who believe they are entitled to everything under the sun complain about it. We also do not have a coffee/pastry cart in the mornings,...

  6. Tattoos and nursing

    daisybaby replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not usually conservative, but I think tattoos should be covered while providing patient care. Visible piercings other than ears should be removed as well. That was the rule when I was in school...

  7. Quit after 4 weeks, now what...

    daisybaby replied to nursecarebear's topic in First Year After Licensure

    December grad here, too. I quit my first job in June. It was my dream facility, but I was working full-time nights. I loved my shifts, but couldn't function the remaining 16 hours of the day....

  8. Interviewing potential staff nurses

    daisybaby replied to midwife2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Find out what they can bring to the unit- what does each RN feel she is an expert, or resource for? Every nurse sould be a 'go-to' person for al least aspect of OB/GYN nursing. Also, make sure you...

  9. IT's A GIRL!!

    daisybaby replied to LeahJet's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Fantastic! Best of health to you

  10. Can nurses decline to be videotaped?

    daisybaby posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm relatively new here so I'm not sure if this has been addressed already, and no one at work could find a written policy about it so here goes: I worked with a great laboring couple last night....

  11. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    daisybaby replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My hospital makes us end every patient/family interaction with "Is there anything else I can do for you?" I had half a mind to re-phrase it to, "Is there any nursing-related need I can take care of...

  12. Ok, need to ask this question about "gifts"

    daisybaby replied to Roy Fokker's topic in General Nursing

    Just call the hospital's main #. If the switchboard doesn't have the NM's name, they can transfer you to the OR and they will tell you who it is

  13. Ok, need to ask this question about "gifts"

    daisybaby replied to Roy Fokker's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the same thing- copy it to her NM. If she's in a clinical ladder program, it could really help her

  14. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    daisybaby replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Fabulous replies,everyone! The customer service rep idea is a great one- I guess what's frustrating about these non care-related insane requests is that it takes time away from providing...

  15. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    daisybaby replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Guess I wasn't clear..the percocet request was for a visitor, not the patient. Can you stand it? I did redirect the ridicuous requests to a more appropriate venue, but it just kills me that we are...

  16. cocaine use during conception

    daisybaby replied to jasonn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your friend needs to get consistent prenatal care starting now. It's not easy to talk about, but she can't go wrong by being forthcoming about her cocaine use. If/when social services should become...

  17. What do patients say that irks you?

    daisybaby replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At my last visit to the chiropractor, we were chatting about his wife's (an acquaintance of mine) three C-sections. He must have said "take the baby" half a dozen times. Luckily I was face down on...

  18. Is it possible to be born with two uteruses?

    daisybaby replied to wannabenursetx's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a labor patient with two cervices. I was new, and when I got report that "the left cervix is closed and the right one is 3cm" I thought they were just trying to give the new kid a hard time...

    Absolutely

  20. No fundal checks for post-op C-sections?

    daisybaby posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a fairly new RN, in my second job in LDR & PP. Last week, I went in to assess my pt who was a ppd 1 c-section with my preceptor observing. After I was finished, she said "Great job, except...

  21. No fundal checks for post-op C-sections?

    daisybaby replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Something along those lines- it was mentioned that because all C/S patients get pit in the OR and in PACU (usually 20 units and then 10 in the next bag, I understand), the thinking is that the uterus...

  22. No fundal checks for post-op C-sections?

    daisybaby replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not sure what the MDs/manager think. Being the new girl, I want to get some research behind this before I pipe up. This weekend I'm going to go to the local medical college's library and look up the...

  25. No fundal checks for post-op C-sections?

    On our documentation flowsheet, the RN's document character and amount of lochia, but cross through the space to chart consistency, position, and height of fundus if it's a c-section. I'm beginning to...
