2. Post partum gifts for parents?

   NellieRN10 replied to Luv2RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We give a celebration meal too. We also give a water jug with logo and a bag of toiletries (lotion, shampoo, hand sanitizer, kleenex). We give hand made pillows to the c-sections and stockings out at...

3. Is this burnout?

   NellieRN10 replied to NellieRN10's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks Jean Marie46514 on helping me view it a different way. I try very hard to be non-judgemental, but lately, it has been very hard sending these babies home fearing you may see them as the next...

   NellieRN10 replied to NellieRN10's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I was thinking of all the skills we have that allow for easy "catching". Years of fetal monitoring, skills fairs for complications, training for c-sections, BLS, NRP, comfort techniques for moms, even...

7. Is there a good way to wear a tie with scrubs?

   NellieRN10 replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Men in Nursing

   sorry, but the smock looks like Dr. Evil's smock in Austin Powers. You should probably check with your dress code policy about the tie- we have a very particular dress code and cannot even have...

   NellieRN10 replied to NellieRN10's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks everyone. I didn't let it change anything in my interview, I just thought it was a very flippant thing to say about someone's specialty. Nevertheless, I didn't get the job, which I am glad for...

11. RN practicing out of scope?

    NellieRN10 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just wanting your opinions: I know an RN who has recently become a CNM, but she only works at her hospital in the capacity of a labor and delivery RN. Lately, she has been using the portable...
