  1. Hospital food

    judyblueeyes replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    We have 'room service' too and a second menu for long term pts. Our food is pretty good overall (except the noodle dishes which are always soggy and overcooked). Breakfast and lunch is very good,...

  2. divorcing while in school advice

    judyblueeyes replied to timewood's topic in General Nursing

    Many of the women I went to school with were divorced/divorcing or planning on it in the future. It seemed to me they had made a decision- in some cases a plan- to manage their lives without the...

  3. DIC Survivor

    judyblueeyes replied to hunnybee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow, hunnybee! As you know, AFE has a high mortality rate. I'm glad you recovered and I'm impressed with your desire to 'do something'. Our hospital keeps a 'buddy list' and has 'group' session for...

  4. postpartum hemorrage PPH

    judyblueeyes replied to livtek's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't see anything you did wrong. I suspect her fundus was firm because it was full of blood. I would recommend asking the L&D nurse who delivers the pt to you where the fundus is/was and then...

  5. Chiropractors

    judyblueeyes replied to bethem's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of my frined had her neck damaged by a chiro.

    Not

  8. Lay Midwives?

    judyblueeyes replied to topamicha's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    In my area, lay midwives are glorified birth junkies- not all that helpful and just want to 'be

  9. Opinion Q...Why, do you think more and more Drs are pushing induction?

    judyblueeyes replied to Kaseyrn2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think the Doc, in asking that question, is 'bad'. Many people want to schedule for all of the reasons already mentioned. It seems like the Doc was just tring to find out what you want....

  10. dismissed from job r/t recent surgery

    judyblueeyes replied to Purple Princess's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Purple Princess (well, I guess your are a blue princess right now- LOL) Your ex employer is only allowed to provide three bits of information about you: Your dates of employment, your position...

  12. Infertility Nursing

    judyblueeyes replied to NurseShek's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I worked in a fertility clinic for a number of years (hospital based, now). It is a challenging field full of growth. You could use a little psych knowledge as fertility is a highly emotionally...

  13. EFM on pregnant women in hospital not on L&D

    judyblueeyes replied to kathiecnm's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We send someone who is trained to read the strips to the unit to both monitor and interpret the strip, if

  14. How do you deal with anti-OB people?

    judyblueeyes replied to ParasMom's topic in General Nursing

    These patients will not show up in your L&D with any regularity. We recently got a 'no-doc' who had been dumped by her NM at 41.3 becuase she was showing no signs of going in to labor (and I was...

  15. Care of High Risk Antepartum Moms

    judyblueeyes replied to SC RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh- food. Room service, every take out menu in the area and a shared, pt-only fridge and

  16. Care of High Risk Antepartum Moms

    judyblueeyes replied to SC RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We have over 30 (maybe 40 now) beds for Antepartums and it is not unusual for some to stay for 4 months. I stayed myself for 6 weeks in trendelenburg with no bathroom priveledges! We have loaner...

  17. NICU Blessings

    judyblueeyes replied to dinkyandzen's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Our NICU is RN only, also. A general nursery position would be a good choice for a student because it is less difficult, more flexible, and would give one a good grounding in healthy babies and you...

  18. Preemie resuscitation in regards to gestational age

    judyblueeyes replied to d2k2's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Our guideline is 24 weeks and/or 500 grams, but we are flexible about it depending on the family and the baby. We are a specialty hospital and deliver about 8500 babies a year, a large number of which...

  19. What is an HCA?

    judyblueeyes replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I currently work at an HCA facility and have been there for over 8 years. I love my job and think it's the best job I've ever had. My sister work at an HCA facility in another city and seems to...

  20. placentral abruption

    judyblueeyes replied to tiamai's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a case a few years ago with an antepartum pt. I went in to put her on for her scheduled EFM and when she turned a little for the placing of the belts, she leaked alot of blood very quickly. I...

  21. Singing the praises of AWESOME doctors!!! =)

    judyblueeyes replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so glad you started this topic! Dr D. is awesome- always calm and always kind. He will sit with a patient and explain everything until the patient understands, then he will get to work on the...

  22. Childcare costs

    judyblueeyes replied to military spouse's topic in General Nursing

    My experience has been that most child care places don't accept occasional users. The reasoning is that you have to pay "full-time" to secure your child's spot or else they may not have room for your...

  23. Ethics, Accepting Gifts and Nursing Care

    judyblueeyes replied to pre-nursey 101's topic in General Nursing

    Many hospitals have a policy on gifts. Our policy allows an individual gift if it does not exceed $25.00 in value, and group gifts that don't exceed $50.00. I don't personally like to accept gifts and...

  24. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    judyblueeyes replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    I think the wife is odd. I guess I've seen over 15,000+ naked people in my career. You pretty much have to have some kind of outstanding feature to get my attention these days! However, I would never...

  25. sister baby was just diagnosed with downs

    judyblueeyes replied to gthurma's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you are mistaken. Your mom may have had an abnormal triple screen- and from your description I think that is what you are describing- but an amnio is
