  1. Do your docs bring baby to sterile warmer in c/s?

    Mississippi_RN replied to zinker35861's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At my hospital, the Pediatrician is automatically there for every cesarean section. So, the NBN RN that attends with them are the ones who go to the OR table to receive the baby. The towel is sterile...

  5. Fetal Monitoring Software

    Mississippi_RN replied to Goldenearring1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We use OBIX, which allows for an electronice trace and computer charting, as well as a paper trace. Its a pretty good system, IMO, however, some of the forms, i.e. delivery summary, admits, need to...

  6. Can dilation reverse?

    Mississippi_RN replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have heard of bulging bag of water making the SVE seem one thing, and then when ROM occurs, SVE seeming to shrink somewhat. Not by much in the case I have had experience with (like 1-2 cm...

  7. Need Common Phrases in Spanish

    Mississippi_RN replied to roxburin's topic in Emergency

    LOL...you know, the next goal of mine is to learn how to speak Spanish fluently... which isnt easy, especially when most of the Spanish people down here anyway speak a lot of "slang". I work in OB...

  8. Guideline / Procedure

    Mississippi_RN replied to WaynesvilleRN's topic in General Nursing

    On most procedures, it is AAT usually starting with ice chips, then sips of water, on to clear liquids, and so on... Depends on what they had done and how they handled the anesthesia though I guess....

  9. Where were u 9/11/01?

    Mississippi_RN replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    I was at work in a hospital billing department. I guess it was about break time for some of the people and they were in the break room watching TV. I remember walking in and looking at the TV the...

    Mississippi_RN replied to Elisheva's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I took the FM course from AWHONN that they came to my hospital and offered (director set it up... one of the few things constructive she has done... ) Anyway, it really really cleared up a lot of...

  11. Unit Clerks are Useless!

    Mississippi_RN replied to HUCtoRNBScN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL... I would rather have my Unit Clerk (Floor Secretary called here) and my CNA than I would another nurse! Having someone at the desk to put in orders, answer the phone, and basically just keep...

  12. Question about prescription...

    Mississippi_RN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I don't know that this is the correct forum to post this in...but I suppose it will do. I have a question regarding the legality of something. You hear all about those websites that you can get...

  13. Something all OB nurses should know.

    Mississippi_RN replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I always have a hard time with the patients who have had any loss... but I still take the time to acknowledge how they are feeling as well as how they are feeling (emotionally). I remeber there was a...

  14. LPN orienting an RN?

    Mississippi_RN replied to texascowgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I think there are a lot of LPN's who are more knowledgeable than any RN I know. When I was oreintating to my floor, the LPN that worked there taught me just as much as the RN did... every person has...

  16. When do you open up your Pitocin?

    Mississippi_RN replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Everyone of our deliveries gets an IV--part of the routine orders for even observation almost. For the induction patients, they get Cervidil to posterior fornix x 24 hrs, then remove. Wait one hour,...

  17. Latex allergy but still want to be a nurse

    Mississippi_RN replied to nurse2beeinthefuture's topic in General Nursing

    Dont be discouraged! As said before, a lot of facilities are having to go mostly non-latex (if not at least have an option for anything). I mean, think about it, if they have a patient that comes in...

  18. Post C/S patient care

    Mississippi_RN replied to Woman_in_love's topic in Ob/Gyn

    After delivery, their VS are checked Q 15 min for 2 hours, then Q 4h. Alot of the other stuff depends on the doctor. We have one doctor, however, who is predictable to "T". They get Demerol PCA...

  19. Drug Testing At Hospitals

    Mississippi_RN replied to crazylilkelly's topic in General Nursing

    I have never been tested. However, nothing I take has not been prescribed so I dont think I would have a problem. I did worry for a little while because I was prescribed Adipex through the internet....

  21. The War with the Floors

    Mississippi_RN replied to zima60's topic in Emergency

    I doubt very seriously we are in the same facility. And I do know that you know absolutely nothing about anything that goes on in a day of mine... Therefore, quite the hypocrite arent we when...

    Mississippi_RN replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Mississippi_RN replied to zima60's topic in Emergency
