  11. A change in school......no lasalle for me

    colleen10 replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Nursing

    colleen10 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    colleen10 replied to niquern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    They deliver at both the mid wife center and at the hospital. However, the mid wife center does not offer epidurals because there is no anastesh. on site. They have three birthing rooms that you...

  16. Youngest labor patient?

    colleen10 replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I too have heard that over all, teen preg. rates are going down. But I bet the avg. age of these teen mom's has gone down (like 12, 13, 14 years old) too. I'm 29 years old and I can't even believe...

  20. Bathing a 7 y/o

    colleen10 replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that if the child's skin is dry then there is no need to bathe them every single day in the winter time. Children aren't like adults in that they don't get oily, greasy or odorous if they...

  21. Mother-Infant Coupling

    colleen10 replied to niquern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    colleen10 replied to niquern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just wanted to add that this discussion is really interesting to me, to see, I guess you would call it, 'regional' differences in the way couplets are managed. I finished my OB rotation at a very...
