    dawngloves replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    dawngloves replied to elizabells's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  11. Scheduled C/S = NICU???

    dawngloves replied to 2curlygirls's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  13. I'm pregnant and starting a new job, do I tell my employer???

    dawngloves replied to RNTX2002's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What would it be pertinent to ? Even if the NM was not told until the OP was off orientation, that is more than enough time to plan ahead for her maternity leave. I have BTDT. I was about 9 weeks when...

  15. Would you consider a home birth?

    dawngloves replied to 2curlygirls's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    That's a pretty broad question. That's like asking us, how many of you would have babies? You could ask, how many Trauma Nurses don't use their seat belt or ride

  16. Would you consider a home birth?

    dawngloves replied to 2curlygirls's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I've never seen a distressed baby that was in direct relation to a medical intervention. Usually the intervention, (forcepts, vacuum) were in relation to a baby already being in distress, (ie:nuchal...

    dawngloves replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

  19. looking for bath protocols

    dawngloves replied to jnsatc's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You know, when I did adults we had a thing about bathing pts with "that look". We'd say," Don't bath so and so. I think he's looking to leave us." becuase as soon as we'd bath a pt like that, they'd...

    dawngloves replied to jnsatc's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  23. Spinoff, NICU levels - does the definition need changing?

    dawngloves replied to LilPeanut's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I've heard rumors of our Children's having an L&D floor for high risk moms. But so far it's just that. Seems to me the outcomes would be much better if they did deliver

  24. Spinoff, NICU levels - does the definition need changing?
