  1. How many deliveries a day?

    RNnL&D replied to Marissa22's topic in Ob/Gyn

  2. Pushing with a foley in place

    RNnL&D replied to midwife2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

  9. What do patients say that irks you?

    RNnL&D replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, and I always love when the visitors ask, "How far is she dilated now?", even if I've just walked in the room to refill a water

  10. What do patients say that irks you?

    RNnL&D replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn
