  1. Why is Pit started on spontaneous labor?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Katie71275's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think we have a Pit protocol, but many of the providers are pretty flexible. We have had the 3-4 day inductions as well, and if a woman truly wants to avoid the P, we do everything we can to...

  2. New grad. position withdrawn! HELP!

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to kdescarc's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't mean to beat a dead horse here, but when I graduated from nursing school- a class of 75 students, I'd say about 68 of them stated they wanted to work in L&D. At my hospital, they were...

  3. Can someone dumb down The whole TCB thing?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yeah we use the bilitool, and it's pretty self explanatory with the chart. I find that often times the longer out I wait to do TCB (closer to the 32 hour mark) the lower the risk. We will do a serum...

  4. Experienced preceptors

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    The preceptor (who I love and is definitely the BEST one on our floor) is sending her off alone to do things she does not feel comfortable doing. This statement contradicts itself. She declared she...

  5. Has anyone made a medication error and *not* get fired for it?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I've made 3 in my two years- smallies, yes. 1mg Bumex instead of 0.5mg and that was on my first day of orientation (I was supposed to cut the pill in half) and then I gave someone liquid ibuprofen...

  6. Your first time with a student

    PeepnBiscuitsRN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First off, this is not, I repeat NOT intended for the purpose of wailing on students. If your first time with a student consisted of a know-it-all type student then whatever, do share, but please...

  7. Your first time with a student

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He was certainly enthusiastic about learning OB, but he said he knew it wasn't his thing. I felt bad because this is an OB unit, and we have a very unique cultural population- Somali, Ethiopian,...

  8. Why did she pick on me?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Dean7's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think she was being malicious. I wouldn't have taken it as such anyhow. She probably didn't know the situation- the doc said to follow up after an hour with her, right? Did the doc say to call...

  9. What's the worst you've ever been dumped on?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One of my last nights on cardiac before going on my merry way to babyland, I notice I had two "walkie talkies" and I thought "oh, that's nice..." HAH. My charge Vocera's me "hey, when you're done...

  10. New grad RN jobs in Minneapolis area

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Chris0104's topic in General Nursing

    I work at Regions, I like it there. They're not picky. Health East will only hire BSN's now, I think Allina is in that boat, as well as Fairview. I'm not

  11. Being labeled an MA but an LPN

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to HippyDippyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    You are not an MA, you are an LPN. I wouldn't want to have my job title listed as HUC or EMT (with all due respect) when I'm an RN, I wouldn't want my name badge to read LPN. I'm an RN. (I was an LPN...

  12. Shocked by facial piercings at work

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That sounds exactly like the way children in this generation are being raised- to have mommy and daddy come to their rescue (helicopter parenting on the job!) making excuses in order to give their...

  13. Training a new RN

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to catlvr's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, in thinking more about this- remove the mistakes, forget about that for a minute. I'm focusing on the way she is disrespecting you. It shows that she has no fear of authority. She forgets that...

  14. Training a new RN

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to catlvr's topic in General Nursing

    I think you could go ahead and show her the door. So to

  15. Anti-intellectual & hyper-sensitive. WHY?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to mclennan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I was in school for my LPN we had a LOT of foreign students who liked to play the "no speak English" card. Hey, it worked for them! One woman out and out failed vital signs- pulse, temp,...

  16. Attention All Nurses....

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to combsj25's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. You'll still be helping the suits and ties. In fact, you'll be their lackey, their puppet. You will make them the big bucks while you stay overtime without pay, get pooped on (literally and...

  17. C over c

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to worf's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why don't you ask the doctor next time? Because now I'm

  18. rejection

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to daisyfleur70's topic in General Nursing

    From my experience- being where you were for almost a year before I got my first job- I would say your classmates likely had some sort of in with the facility. Either they worked there before, they...

  19. Longing and Wanting

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to vanesp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My manager was very happy I popped in to say "hi". Also when she interviewed me, she said it was clear from my resume that I was "passionate" about this field. I gave reasons why, and I would suggest...

  20. advice please :) new nurse...

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to NurseJessie2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I got my job in OB by casually popping in to thank the postpartum manager for such a great unit when I had had my daughter a week or so prior to that. She had no openings at the time, but she was...

  21. Feeling insulted after job interview

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to NellieRN10's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My husband doesn't know why I get stressed at my job "after all, you get to play with babies!" Uh-huh, and feed them (ok that's fun, very relaxing) change them, bathe them (brand new babies smell...

  22. Rough transition into the hospital

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Catch22Personified's topic in General Nursing

    I worked nights on a tele floor for a year or so. On days, when I oriented, it was chaos. I was so messed up with everything, and I felt like I was juggling 24 things at once. When I moved to nights...

  23. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to Nurseadam's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you're looking for a direct answer to your question- I would resign. Even if they took you back. I have a feeling you'd find your place of employment a very hostile and unplesant place to work at...

  24. What are some personality traits needed to be a great nurse?

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to KayyyT's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the thick skin comments- it's something I have been working on. Humility is another one I think will work in your favor, especially when you have been taught to do things one way in...

  25. More ignorance. Any wonder the public is confused!

    PeepnBiscuitsRN replied to TakeTwoAspirin's topic in General Nursing

    And now — unless patient welfare is at stake, or you’re being asked to do something illegal — ....liiiiiiike practice nursing without a
