  1. TAB's?

    RNnL&D replied to jrring1019's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly. I work in a Catholic hospital where there is no such thing as a therapeutic abortion. Keeps me from having to worry about how I would

  2. Lotus Birth

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

    The cord generally stops pulsating before delivery of the placenta, if anybody waits long enough to even notice. We didn't cut my son's cord until 2 hours after delivery, and I can tell you the cord...

  3. How long is too long? re: 2nd stage of labor

    RNnL&D replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks. :) We were prepared to deliver at home, since I arrived at the birth center completely dilated with my third. I knew I was NOT going to suffer through transition in the car again , so had...

  4. Lotus Birth

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

    I have not encountered it in the hospital setting. But it seems somewhat popular with homebirth. I say to each his own. Personally, I think the theory is a good one, but in practice, it can be...

  5. Precipitous Birth care

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

    Actually, I am one of those nurses, and I am sure there are others here. This is if the doc is minutes away from the room. Obviously, I'm not going to have a Mom blow for an hour. Yes, I am able to...

  6. Help me handle Pitocin.

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

    Why your doc was breaking your water and giving Pitocin when you weren't term is beyond

  7. Betamethasone & PTL

    RNnL&D replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We always collect a FFN by SSE, either by the triage nurse or the Resident if there is one on, for anyone under 34 weeks. If it is neg and there is no cervical change, they aren't treated with...

  8. CNM as RN

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

    Depends on the area. In Ohio, CPM's are not licensed or recognized by the state. There are women here who use them, but it is kind of an underground system with everything paid out of pocket. There is...

  9. CNM as RN

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

    The L&D experience would definitely be helpful for future CNM employment. As far as legalities, you are or will be a registered nurse, and are able to work as "just a nurse", even with an advanced...

  10. Lactation Consultants-On Staff?

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

    We have a LC Monday through Friday from 9-4, and on call on weekends. Other times, teaching falls to the RN. We only have about 100 deliveries/month, with 12 LDRP's, and 14 PP beds. I can't imagine...

  11. Soy vs. Cow's Milk-Based Formula

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

    It's a matter of risks versus benefits. Vaccines provide an obvious benefit, so they are endorsed by the AAP. They doesn't mean they are without risk. So if you're baby is a healthy, term infant with...

  12. Soy vs. Cow's Milk-Based Formula

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

    While I am glad that you survived on soy milk, as I'm sure many others did, I think the OP was asking if anyone had read of the risks associated with soy formula. Yes, we're all going to die of...

  13. Soy vs. Cow's Milk-Based Formula

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

    Many things are on the market, that are not necessarily safe. Unfortunately, adequate research is not always done before something is "approved". Soy formula has been used for 40years, but where is...

  14. OB census... is everyone slow right now?

    RNnL&D replied to jrring1019's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not really slow right now. October seems to be our slower

  15. Formula Companies & Big Tobacco

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

    Very cool

  16. Clonus.....what Is This Test For??

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

    Yes, if they are on Mag. If they have clonus, even on Mag, it isn't helping and they are still at risk for a

  17. What do patients say that irks you?

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

    I was glad this New Year's, that of the 4 area hospitals in our county delivering babies this year, none of us had a last minute CS. The area's New Year's baby wasn't born until 3:30 am. Our...

  18. Contract for formula anyone???

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

    At a prior hospital, we rotated which formula was offered monthly. At the facility I am in now, we always offer the WIC supported brand. It is even in our transition orders. Unless ped orders...

  19. Cytomegalovirus

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

    We don't do this in the hospital setting, but I believe it is tested for in the OB's

  20. Formula Companies & Big Tobacco

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

    That's exactly what it says. I have wondered if there would be issues with just taking the formula out of the breast bags. But, I guess if Moms are expecting it..... And btw, if it called a...

  21. Formula Companies & Big Tobacco

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

    True, Moms don't chose to bottlefeed based on a free diaper bag containing formula. And I don't think anyone is suggesting that we not support mothers who opt to bottle feed. If by not giving her a...

  22. Formula Companies & Big Tobacco

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

    thank you. i was starting to think no one "got" my sarcastic, but true,

  23. Formula Companies & Big Tobacco

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

    I think it already has. Simply passing on a link about legislation to stop the underhanded marketing by formula companies has inflamed people. I truly feel for women who have tried to nurse, and only...

  24. Formula Companies & Big Tobacco

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

    Again, this is being turned into a breast feeding versus bottlefeeding debate. The point of this article is that is unfair to market formula to new moms. That does not mean you will have to bring your...

  25. When pt is refusing a C/S

    RNnL&D replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wonderful
