1. The car seat test

   lovemyjoblandd replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I guess I should have mentioned it was at an Army hospital. If the parents did not use a detachable corificeat, then the whole thing had to come out. The patients were made aware of it at all of...

2. A nurse who doesn't breastfeed

   lovemyjoblandd replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I gave breastfeeding a very earnest attempt. I had a C/S and my baby was transferred to another hospital. I started pumping after my C/S every 2 hours and saved every drop. I discharged the next day...

3. The car seat test

   lovemyjoblandd replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in Ob/Gyn

   At my last hospital the parents had to have a corificeat and bring it up to the unit in order to be discharged. The discharging nurse would do a car seat inspection and teach the parents the...

4. Inducing vs. Waiting

   lovemyjoblandd replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I agree with everyone else. I went to 41 weeks before being induced (which I admit, at the time I just begged and begged to please be induced). I got to 10cm and pushed for 3 hours, never getting...

5. Why I think L&D nursing really is best and hardest

   lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Part of being a good nurse is realizing mistakes, owning up to them, and trying to do your best to make it up. I truly did not mean to offend people with this post. My intent did not come across...

6. Why I think L&D nursing really is best and hardest

   lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I really didnt want catfights, i wanted passion, and i guess i've found it, just not in a way i would have thought. My expectations were for people to tell me why THEY have the greatest job and why....

7. Why I think L&D nursing really is best and hardest

   lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Im not blaming anybody, i did apologize and "own up" but it doesnt matter what i say at this point because you are still going to be defensive. I dont think i did anything wrong, but i also dont want...

8. Why I think L&D nursing really is best and hardest

   lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I see what you guys mean. I guess it's hard for me to separate my previous knowledge from my LD knowledge. It's easy to forget that others dont have my background where i had to be the jack of all...

9. Why I think L&D nursing really is best and hardest

   lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

   You may have gotten me there! I did peritoneal dialysis with my grandmother but never had to actually do blood dialysis. Tell me why your specialty is the best. Tell me why you love it. What are your...

    Ive worked other floors. I was a medic for 6 years. I know trauma, triage, emergencies, med-surg, etc. so lol all you want but i assure you, i would be

11. Why I think L&D nursing really is best and hardest

    lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Quite frankly, if one doesnt believe the specialty he or she is in is the best, then maybe one should look for a new

    lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well not just other specialties but for us to toot our own horns too. The post was playful and i even stated that. If you dont like what i have to say then you dont have to read it. I wasnt being ugly...

    Childbirth is certainly not an illness! But pregnant women do get very, very

14. Why I think L&D nursing really is best and hardest

    lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The whole point was for me to tell why I think my jon is the best and for people to tell me why their job is the best, not to slam anyone. You guys are uptight. I said that it was for fun and just...
