1. unsafe staffing in LDRP

   nursie-babie replied to eden's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Been there done that...only worse. Your staffing actually seemed pretty good! LOL! I came from a small (30 deliveries a month) rural hospital. We had 3 ldr, 5 pp rooms and 4 rooms for gyn surgeries, peds, med surg over flows, or whatever they need...

2. Rules for the ER (long)

   nursie-babie replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

   WOW! I am not an ER nurse by any means...but I can definitely understand most of these "rules" but do you really not care about pain unless it is chest pain? I am a kidney stone sufferer, and while yes, I know I am not dying from this pain, at times ...

5. Labor Nurses regulating epidurals

   nursie-babie replied to terig63's topic in Ob/Gyn

   The only thing that we can do with the epidural infusion is turn it off. We can not bolus/titrate, or even turn it back on if it has been turned off :monkeydance: :monkeydance: :monkeydance: :monkeydance: :monkeydance:

   nursie-babie replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I love the names CHLOE, SOPHIE, GRACIE, EMILY AND RACHEL My daughter's name is Makenzie, love that too, but it is becoming rather popular now And, my son, (who is 10 and the twin to Makenzie), is named Madison which I found in the baby name book unde...

9. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

   nursie-babie replied to nursie-babie's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks, that's what my gut is telling me to do, it's just that the last job i had was so miserable(L&D, PP, NN, Peds..7p-7a), and this one is so good I am just scared to mess something up. Before I took this job I had a long talk with my kids an...

    Okay, so here's my delima...I have a job I really love:heartbeat (CT area, very low stress, low key, good pay) however my hours are M-F 1200-2030. The oppurtunity has come up to go to a 0700-1530 shift, doing some of the same things, it is just a lo...

11. New Grad with an LD Job--any advice?

    nursie-babie replied to BirthingBabies's topic in Ob/Gyn

    HI! I was a new grad that started in L&D. It was very scary and intimidating. I also worked at a small rural hospital and think that led to the scariness quite a bit. Anyway, it took a long time for me to be comfortable(about 9 months before ...

12. need your advice before I quit nursing?

    nursie-babie replied to RNcool's topic in General Nursing

    I have a really hard time believing that. I went from being an OB nurse(l&d, NN, PP) to a Radiology Nurse. They are in no way similar. Not even the same pt population. The new facility trained me, oriented me and set me free. I love it! I ju...

    nursie-babie replied to RNcool's topic in General Nursing

    I am a Radiology RN working in the CT department. It is great. It can be fast paced, I don't spend very long with each patient, basically I check them in, see if they need an IV, and hang out in case they need something(like somebody has a contrast...

14. Is it logical that we're warned against losing >3lbs/wk but gastric bypass is OK?

    nursie-babie replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    :monkeydance: :monkeydance: :monkeydance: :monkeydance: :monkeydance: Okay, first of all, I don't know why they say losing it fast the regular way is unhealthy and okay after bypass...but, what I really want to address is the comment that the focus ...

    nursie-babie replied to MS._Jen_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I had to have Lovenox prior to a surgical procedure. It burned like the:devil: when the injected but I thought that was to be expected(the burning lasted about 20 minutes) I went to surgery, and it lasted about 3 hours langer than normal because a...
