  1. afraid I hurt Pt w/injection

    baby&mommynurse replied to chilloutrelax's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't know why after aspirating and injecting, you still got some blood return as this has not happened to me before. It does sound by the way you described, that you did everything correctly....

  2. Grey's Anatomy Premier!!! + How to Contact Show Creators

    baby&mommynurse replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    Well, at least your criticizing the show for the fun of it... I do that sometimes, too. :chuckle Everyone else here seems so angry about it. As I've said before, it's just a television show and if...

  3. Grey's Anatomy Premier!!! + How to Contact Show Creators

    baby&mommynurse replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    Well said, BELLE0924. There are millions of non-health care workers that probably love the show already. If someone is going to be that critical of a show or if they just want to watch something...

  4. Do you care "FOR" your patients or care "ABOUT" your patients?

    baby&mommynurse replied to Lanceman's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on who the patient is. I'm kidding. I care FOR and I care ABOUT my patients. But sometimes it's hard to do either when they are the ones who don't care about themselves or care that you're...

  5. Danskos

    baby&mommynurse replied to TLC RN's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on what kind of Danskos you plan to get. If buying the Dansko Professional shoe, the heel should move up and down freely. Try going to the Dansko website to find what size shoe to buy and...

  6. Grey's Anatomy Premier!!! + How to Contact Show Creators

    baby&mommynurse replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    It's a television show, for goodness sake! Either you like it or you don't. And if you don't, don't watch it! Simple as that. If more people don't watch it, ratings will fall and that will be the...

  7. Grey's Anatomy Premier!!! + How to Contact Show Creators

    baby&mommynurse replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    How much of television is based off of reality anyway? It's more about how a show catches the audience member's interest. Most of television is on because of ratings. If a show's ratings fell, then...

  8. holding a baby in after being fully dilated??

    baby&mommynurse replied to court519's topic in Ob/Gyn

    this is true... babies are born without the docs in the room all the time. ok, well. not all the time. but babies come when they want to come... not always when we want them to come. i still think...

  9. Absolutely the most entertaining birth plan I have ever read....

    baby&mommynurse replied to Mermaid4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I love it, I love it!! I always joked to my co-workers that when I have a baby, I would have a birth plan just like all those "I-want-to-be-in-control-of-my-delivery" soon to be parents out in this...

  10. holding a baby in after being fully dilated??

    baby&mommynurse replied to court519's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with BETSRN... please close

  11. 12 hour shifts too long?

    baby&mommynurse replied to Aaron Catmull's topic in General Nursing

    Being in maternal/infant care, we never know when our census will be high or low... we can only predict when deliveries will occur. Still, I would rather work three-12 hour shifts, than work five-8...

  12. LVN/LPN unions?

    baby&mommynurse replied to baby&mommynurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It was actually Fiona59 who suggested that there be a separate bargaining unit... ...perhaps, she meant something different? Jenny99, have you been a part of an LPN/LVN union? If so, what was your...

  13. 12 hour shifts too long?

    baby&mommynurse replied to Aaron Catmull's topic in General Nursing

    I work 3-12 hour shifts; 0.9 FTE and it is considered full time. I also have to work over 40 hours/wk. to be paid overtime. We also get an "incentive pay" if we agree to work when we are short...

  14. LVN/LPN unions?

    baby&mommynurse replied to baby&mommynurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LPNer, I'm sorry about your past situation, and I really appreciate that you want to help other LPNs/LVNs... thanks for your advice. I will definitely seek out the answers to these questions....

  15. LVN/LPN unions?

    baby&mommynurse replied to baby&mommynurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I certainly agree about not joining forces with non-licensed personnel. As I have said, the secretaries, housekeepers, nurse assistants; all other non-licensed personnel have formed their own...

  16. 12 hour shifts too long?

    baby&mommynurse replied to Aaron Catmull's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Gompers on this one. If a nurse is concerned with what she/he makes by working 8 hour shifts as opposed to 12 hour shifts, then that nurse should find a job that suits their own needs....

  17. LVN/LPN unions?

    baby&mommynurse replied to baby&mommynurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Exactly what do you mean by this? Have you had any experience with SEIU? Quite a few LVNs I work with are Pro-Union, while I stand indifferent about the whole thing. I'm just trying to get other...

  18. Is it possible to get a day shift after graduation

    baby&mommynurse replied to quiby's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is possible to get a day position. But it also depends on what openings are available. You should let who you apply with know that you are looking for an 8 hour day shift position. You...

  19. LPN's in CCU, a vent

    baby&mommynurse replied to NYERNURSE's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I am an LVN as well and I agree that LVNs/LPNs should not be in certain areas of nursing because of our "scope of practice". However, we are allowed to work in some areas and maybe (instead of always...

  20. 12 hour shifts too long?

    baby&mommynurse replied to Aaron Catmull's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to me that when we went to 12 hour shifts, there has been less calling in and better staffing,

  21. 12 hour shifts too long?

    baby&mommynurse replied to Aaron Catmull's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it depends on the person... and where you work. I also self schedule, but I work every other weekend and I work in a super busy department, so I never felt like I had any time off when I...

  22. Scared to care for IUFD and medical terminations

    baby&mommynurse replied to camay1221_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry for your loss Renee. Most IUFD patients just need space and time to adjust and grieve. They just need all the support you can give. Knowing that you have gone through the same thing might...

  23. L&D 1st clinical rotation...help

    baby&mommynurse replied to crb613's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I learned this acronym in school, too. Very helpful! Good luck to all the future nurses out

  24. How do you give next shift report?

    baby&mommynurse replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    We tend to do all three where I work. It's verbal in the nursery, but if an oncoming nurse is going to be late for some reason, we'll do a written. Out in OB-Gyn, we'll tape

  25. Transporting newborns after c-sections

    baby&mommynurse replied to Tiki_Torch's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Our C/S babies come to us in warm transporter isolettes... usually, they are bundled up in a couple blankets, too, so there's no chance of getting cold. Our women's OR is just across the hall from our...
