  1. Hospital Child Day Care

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to SueM's topic in General Nursing

    I bet you'd never let them sit too close to the TV, eat hot dogs, or use a pacifier either. I bet your child, a perfect son, will come out of the birth canal smiling and giggling, and go to breast...

  2. Right handed? Left handed? Spell? Can't spell?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My interest is peaked, IS there a correlation? Anyhoo, I'm a righty, and a spelling FREAK!

  3. Can DUI keep you out of Nursing?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Karen K's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Karen, A good friend of mine in nursing school had a DUI lurking in her past. While she expressed great concern about this to me, it was NEVER an issue for school, or when she took her boards for...

  4. Mother Baby Couplet Care

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to NSY4ME's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with you Jared, it's all about patient safety and teaching. I don't think 4 couplets sounds cush, because often enough they've kept me running all day! I couldn't imagine some of the...

  5. "Green Ribbon" symbol of Nursing Solidarity

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to PeggyOhio's topic in General Nursing

    Great idea, Peggy! But I believe the green ribbon is already a symbol for organ donation. Maybe we could pick another color?

  6. Orientation time in Labor and Delivery

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to ShannonB25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    3 months seems sufficient for L&D itself, but I hope this doesn't include your orientation to the other areas! My orientation to post partum alone was 2 months! 2 weeks of classroom, 1 week of...

  7. When to push with epidural?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to MQ Edna's topic in Ob/Gyn

    WOW amberm72! This BB is a place for us nurses to talk to each other in confidence. It looks to me by your number of postings (1) that you registered at this site just to threaten! I guess we'll...

  8. OB patient...

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to timonrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have to agree with kday. I find it sad that you need a liscense to fish, hunt, drive, get married, or even sell a car. But anyone can reproduce! And while the adults in question lead sad lives,...

  9. Got 228 Ques. on boards.....Scared!

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to JPF's topic in General Nursing

    Because in real life, you can't skip ahead to the next patient and hope they give you a clue as to how to save the first

  11. Male nurse???'man in uniform'WOW or no way!

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to HOP's topic in General Nursing

    In my years as a nurse, I've become an expert at certain things. I thought one of these things was decoding overly abbreviated charting entries. Congrats HOP, you've stumped

  12. Is it just me? Or is this the nursing school homework hotline?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in General Nursing

    GOOOOOOOOOO

  13. 1 yr. of prerequisites before I can get into nursing program

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Gisele's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Gisele! Where I went to school, taking the first year to complete prerequisites was an option, but not a requirement. However, to do all of the primary classes ALONG WITH the nursing classes...

  16. What Freaks You Out?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    What a refreshing change of pace from the venting... I'm an OB nurse, so anything that comes out the "bottom half" I can handle! I'm even OK with vomit. But snot, sputum, or any other respiratory...

  17. DUHHHHH!!

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to burger914's topic in General Nursing

    Don't beat yourself up, burger! We've all done these types of things, and any nurse who says they haven't is LYING! The important thing is that you learned something from it! As a new nurse in post...

  18. BOARDS: Good or bad if computer shuts down @ 75??

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to e-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Since 75 is the minimum of questions you can receive, shutting off at 75 means that you very clearly demonstrated something. Whether that something is that you are a safe competent nurse or you are a...

  19. Needles

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Dennis13's topic in General Nursing

    I can definately sympathize nursejanedough! While I don't like shots (Returning to good old Lamaze breathing is the only thing that gets me through), I'd take a shot or a blood draw anyday over a...

  21. outraged at TV show ER

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to TRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmm. I did see the episode in question. But I did not take offense because I saw it as a representation of the parent's own stupidity and demanding nature, not the producer's. While I wish the...

  22. Suggestions??

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to ShannonB25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Shannon! Is this the same peson who didn't feel it would be beneficial for you to take the course before? Surely there are other instructors in your area who may be willing to offer you the...

  23. Student nurse question r/t OB

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to ShannonB25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've been on the post partum unit at my hospital for a year and a half now. Some time back I asked one of our childbirth educators if I could "tag along" to her classes. I thought it would be a good...

  24. Anything nice to say?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to lorrie's topic in General Nursing

    What a refreshing change of pace from the other posts I've read here! While I realize that nurses often need to vent their frustrations, sometimes I am saddened by the negativity I see here. Yes,...

  25. self medication

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to nimmue's topic in General Nursing

    Hello there! At the hospital I work at, a patient may use their own medications from home for pre-existing conditions if the doctor wries the order stating such ("pt may take own home meds"). We...
