  2. Obtaining circ permits (long...)

    judyblueeyes replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think all Docs ought to be responsible for consents. I have never felt comfortable having pts sign consents when I have no knowledge of what the Doc and pt have

  3. Opinion about autism

    judyblueeyes replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe there is a link between autism and vaccines for several reasons. One is that the "Wakefield Study" that started the idea of the link was fraudulent. The study was funded by some...

  4. Parents of kids with autism, please read

    judyblueeyes replied to LydiaNN's topic in Pediatric

    My son is 9. His area of interest recently change from Harry Potter (4-5 years) to Star Wars. He has about 3 good friends that like and/or put up with his oddities and keep an eye out for him at...

  5. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    judyblueeyes replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    That supposed "old stock" is certainly long "out of date" by now. You doc certainly should not be giving out of date vac's. Like most parents who are honest about it, my son's autism was apparant...

  6. Any Antepartum nurses?

    judyblueeyes replied to NikRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We are strictly antepartum and do mag all the time. We have about 28 beds. I don't know how we could run our APU if we had to have an L&D nurse for every mag pt! Might as well be an L&D unit....

  8. What is in your lunch box?

    judyblueeyes replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    I'm boring and eat about the same thing every day. I dropped my LDL cholesterol by 63 points in six months when I started packing and stopped eating cafeteria food. I also took lipitor but not...

  9. Banning Crocs?

    judyblueeyes replied to styRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I had to throw out a fairly new pair of Nike's because a pt leaked stool on them during a transfer assist. I washed and bleached the shoes, but the one still had a stool stain that I just couldn't...

  11. Ethical Dilemma

    judyblueeyes replied to StillBelieveRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    They did diagnose it (oligo, anyway). What else do you want them to diagnose? The next step is to decide what to do. How could you possibly "know" this?! Me,

  12. Thoughts on Maternity nursing.

    judyblueeyes replied to Nurse AllBetta's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm in antepartum alos and have been for 10 years. KellNN did a good job of representing the job. I wouldn't care to do anything

  13. Voluntary C-Sections?

    judyblueeyes replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Do talk to your Doc. If you think a C/S is right for you, go for it! Nurses tend to advocate for the patient... unless the pt wants something they don't approve of (such as a C/S). Don't let others...

  14. Ethical Dilemma

    judyblueeyes replied to StillBelieveRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry if my tone was harsh. Sometimes I sense a bias in the phrasing that makes me think that the scenarios are there to support the presenter's point-of-view. I could be wrong about this. There are...

  15. Ethical Dilemma

    judyblueeyes replied to StillBelieveRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Some thoughts: This is the parents call to make. Babies with fluid levels of 0-2 do extrememly poorly. They generally spend a long time in level 3 on progressively increasing oscillator vents until...

  16. making enemies

    judyblueeyes replied to loridoo's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a pt advocate? We make a referral to the advocate so that the follow up comes from her. She always takes the side of the pt (as it should be, that is her job), makes the pt feel heard and...

  17. Fertility Clinics

    judyblueeyes replied to Future_Nurse_Natalie's topic in General Nursing

    I worked fertility for 5 years, but have been out of the field for 10 now. I enjoyed the work. Our office was very similar to a typical OBGYN office and we did alot of typical OBGYN stuff- paps,...

  18. Reporting a Doctor

    judyblueeyes replied to NurseWi_JennJenn's topic in General Nursing

    I reported a Doctor for a similar situation recenlty- maybe 3 months ago. It's the first time I have ever felt the need to do that. I have had no repurcussions. I see the Doc around, but I don't think...

  19. Adoption option?

    judyblueeyes replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you may be misquoting me- I have heard from young moms that they "want to get their children out of the way while they are young". I found this attitude interesting. There was no question that...

  20. Hysterectomy: Necessity or Convenience

    judyblueeyes replied to outcomesfirst's topic in General Nursing

    Even if it is for convenience, what is wrong with

  21. Adoption option?

    judyblueeyes replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In my area this is a cultural issue. The young girls have told me they "want to get their babies out of the way while they are young" because they view later childbirth as a disadvantage. Sometimes...

  22. What is the silliest complaint someone has ever made aboutyou?

    judyblueeyes replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A pts husband complained to the charge nurse that he had asked for a private room all day (from me) and since I didn't give him one, he should get the suite for no charge. (We were packed to the...

  23. Help, 4yo grandson killed my finches

    judyblueeyes replied to catrn10's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry to hear this and have no good advice. I just wanted to offer my support to you and your family. You are certainly right to be alarmed and the boy should be protected from...

  24. Elective Primary C/S

    judyblueeyes replied to Gem97's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The difference in your examples are adults v. children. Also, what is reasonable to one person is not to another. Why should I let you dictate how I will have my children? Are you coming to my house...

  25. Article on MSNBC about 22 weekers

    judyblueeyes replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I bet a lot of those "early" babies were actually the results of a hurried marriage (the 3 lb 22
