  1. What's your holiday bonus?

    jrring1019 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked for a very well known hospital (which has so much money they are building something new and expanding CONSTANTLY) I received nothing. I am now at a very small hospital and get a $25 gas...

  2. have you delivered a baby on the ob unit you work on?

    jrring1019 replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    yes, I delivered all 3 with the staff I worked with. It was great. I received wonderful care and the best rooms I was shy before I went in with my first, but I got over that real

  3. knee-chest

    jrring1019 replied to kcrnsue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess if you had to wait any amount of time(for anesthesia, MD etc..) then knee- chest would work while you keep your hand holding the presenting part off the cord. Otherwise, move her quickly to an...

  4. Newborn Nursery!

    jrring1019 replied to MIA-RN1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    all of the blood and mucus dries in it after delivery and a kid with lots of hair can be pretty matted down. I had one recently and the water running off the head was brown for a while, had to pull...

  5. finger feeding

    jrring1019 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can anyone tell me the difference between finger feeding and bottlefeeding? Honestly, my gloved finger+feeding tube +formula would seem the same to baby as a artificial nipple....Right? I always abide...

  6. drug testing AP and IP

    jrring1019 replied to cnmmsn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The mandatory testing will prevent very few cases. People who are addicted to drugs can rationalize ANYTHING. Most moms who use will just not get PNC because of the drug testing. I think once word...

  7. How about a thread for baby names you liked?

    jrring1019 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I like traditional also. Had a babyboy named Charlie last week. Thought it was great since it is also my sons name(Charles but we call him Charlie). You really never hear that one. I also like...

  9. Please be nice to medical students

    jrring1019 replied to cantor2537's topic in General Nursing

    Just to make you feel better, these same nurses are the same way to new nurses, new RT's , new CNA's etc..... It really does not matter, but I have seen med students get the most because of the...

  10. In the right place at the right time........

    jrring1019 replied to jrring1019's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have read that epidurals do not always mask a uterine rupture. This pt did not have an epidural yet, she was only on the monitor for 22 minutes and I was getting ready to place the IV. Fht's were...

  12. about the bird flu......

    jrring1019 posted a topic in General Nursing

    How many of you would work if we had the bird flu pandemic? I asked this question to several nurses and MOST said NO WAY. They are staying home with their families. I get that, but I asked if they...

  13. about the bird flu......

    jrring1019 replied to jrring1019's topic in General Nursing

    According to an expert from the CDC , if most people stay home and are not at work then many systems we all depend on will be disrupted. Examples he used included no clean drinking water, no...

  15. medicine or wives tale????

    jrring1019 replied to leigh21's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just have to respond because I fell the same way!! I have 2 girls and 1 boy and now I really want another boy! After I had my first (a girl ) I really wanted another girl so my daughter could have a...

  16. Why did YOU choose OB nursing?

    jrring1019 replied to tabbeycatt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I went into OB nursing because I was honestly burned out with floor nursing. Then I realized it was what I really wanted to do. I love what I do. The best part was that I suddenly had patients who...

  17. 12 hr every weekend shifts

    jrring1019 replied to dld's topic in General Nursing

    I did this for 6 years. I worked 24, paid for 32 and had FT medical benefits. I had to rotate day/nights. I loved it because the pay was great and I was home with my kids. I didn't have to pay for...

  18. Doula Thoughts on L&D (long)

    jrring1019 replied to futureTMA's topic in Ob/Gyn

    NNR?? Is she referring to NPR? Room air would never be used for resuscitation. Hypoxia is the leading cause of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. An adequate o2 level is needed to keep...

  21. finger feeding

    jrring1019 replied to jrring1019's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Finger feeding is letting the baby suck on your finger(I use my pinky) and at the same time a 5f feeding tube attached to a syringe full of formula or pumped colostrum is placed along side of the...

  22. finger feeding

    jrring1019 replied to jrring1019's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I mean finger feeding is faster than syringe/cup feeding. Not bottlefeeding. If babies were only taking 20 cc at 4-5 days of life, then something was lacking in d/c teaching and follow up care. And...

  23. finger feeding

    jrring1019 replied to jrring1019's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that is harsh. If mom chooses to supplement because she is tired then so be it. I am one of those moms that sent the baby to the nursery for the night.How many moms have you seen crying and...

  24. Hydralazine question

    jrring1019 replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Honestly, in real life you don't have to push it over exactly 60 seconds AND if you need to dilute it to 1 cc to make it easier then that is OK...it won't hurt anything. The pt who needs this drug...
