  1. "Not allowed" to perform vaginal exams

    lovemyjoblandd replied to Kayla.J.RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would be a nervous wreck if I had to take the word of someone else in order to manage my labors. While cervical checks alone are definitely not a determining factor on how I base my care, a baseline...

  2. PCA use for pain control after c-section

    lovemyjoblandd replied to Kayla.J.RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What do the orders say to do?Usually by the time the patient is requesting something for pain ( and you know she will!) it's at a level where you r now trying to get it under control instead of simply...

  3. What a night!!

    lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You know looking back it wasn't even that bad. The addict was at least pleasant and was truly sick. I think i was just tired and needed to vent. And at least there were good outcomes for what I had....

  4. What a night!!

    lovemyjoblandd posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh man, last night was "one of those" nights. We will start this from the beginning. Night before last I had cytotec induction. This was a perfectly healthy G2P1 with a beautiful pregnancy and no...

  5. how do you push with your patients?

    lovemyjoblandd replied to violet_violet's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work night shift, and we LOVE laboring down. We don't do any convincing to the MD's because they are not here and our patients will oddly enough stay about 9.5cm until they are +1 or +2 :) Of...

  6. "Make sure to get induced...everyone does it!"

    lovemyjoblandd replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Definitely not condoning these ridiculous "convenience" inductions, but I do want to point out, as a general rule, first time moms have longer labors, longer pushing, etc than multips. So regardless...

  7. more meconium???

    lovemyjoblandd replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This brings me to wonder, food for though persay, was the mec a result of postdates (40+1 not really postdates but you get the point) OR a result of the induction. I'm going with induction and the...

  8. Army Nurse Corps: Ob/GYN, Critical Care

    lovemyjoblandd replied to aei09a's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know this was posted a while back, but I figured I would offer my opinion anyway. I was in the Army for 10 years and just got out Sept 2012. I spent the first 6 as a Medic and then became an RN...

  9. Trick and tips

    lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know that there is never an "always". Just like to hear from other's experiences. Nurses never stop learning, and it seems everyday I'm catching something new. If one piece of advice can keep a...

  10. DEMEROL ... does Your unit use it?

    lovemyjoblandd replied to jodyangel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At my first unit, which was an army hospital, we never used demerol and were incredibly stingy with pain meds for our c/s patients (1-2 perc q6h, toradol q6h x8, and MAYBE 2mg morphine IV. PCAs only...
