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

    lovemyjoblandd posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know this is probably going to make some other specialty nurses mad, but that's okay- this is our forum :). I respect all nurses, God knows I wouldn't want to do anything but L&D. Sick and/or...

  2. 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...

  3. 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...

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

  6. 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...

  7. 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....

  8. 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...

  9. 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...

  10. 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...

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

    lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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

  12. 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

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

    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...

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

    lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

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

  15. 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...

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

    lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I did telemetry teching and worked on a cardio step down unit. I was in med-surg for a year. Yeah i need a tick to brush up on my rhthyms but thr basics are there and i can tell the difference between...

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

    lovemyjoblandd replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's the point of the the thread really, is to let everyone talk about their specialties and why it is the hardest or the greatest. I did not disrespect other fields of nursing, just stated why i...

  18. Need ideas for an old problem!

    lovemyjoblandd replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The policy at my hospital is exactly the same as ChristineN's. The only time a pregnant patient over 20 weeks does not immediately come up to L&D is if there are other life threatening situations...

  19. Bedpan dilemma

    lovemyjoblandd replied to Pennyrieder's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    And for the record, i would've left. When you report on a patient, you report repsonsibility, but i sure as heck wouldnt have left without putting in my notes that patient was on a bedpan, needed more...

  20. Bedpan dilemma

    lovemyjoblandd replied to Pennyrieder's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Please tell me you charted all of this. I do not think you were in the wrong at all, but if you didnt chart, it didnt

  21. On Call policy

    lovemyjoblandd replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our situation at my hospital is dire for nightshift. Our deliveries are down and we've had 2 nurses leave. Our managers say they will not be replaced because we don't have the deliveries to justify...

  22. One thing I learned today is that honesty will get you nowhere in Nursing School.

    lovemyjoblandd replied to guest08/05/2014's topic in General Students

    That is life and believe me, your coworkers would be no more understanding than your instructor. You made a mistake, you pay the consequences. Your instructor is teaching you a valid

  23. Major med error wrong fluid! Need advice please :(

    lovemyjoblandd replied to telealli's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I didnt mean to sound condescending, i was just shocked. Perfect situation to prove how scanning could have avoided a bad situation
