   StatRNNJ97 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   :uhoh21: I work in OB. Recently had bad baby born - come to find out that some of the nursery nurses who attend deliveries are NOT NRP certified. I watched in horror a few weeks ago as one nursery nurse did not know how to do chest compressions etc...

2. They did a c-section without anesthesia

   StatRNNJ97 replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

   No anesthesiologist in house? No way! One bad outcome and it changes a nurses perspective! Have had true stat c/s in Labor and Delivery and without the Anesthesiologist in-house no doubt baby and possibly Mom would not have survived! Even if its ...

   I am by the Shore. Green heads are like flies but green and BITE! You don't find them further inland. As far as Arizona, guess we have to teach are kids not to try and hide in any bushes.

   I have done UOP online courses for over a year and LOVE the program. I really enjoy going to school in my pajamas (ha ha ha). Everything can be done via the internet at my convenience. So, if you have a family, children, it is especially helpful....

   StatRNNJ97 replied to NiceShot's topic in General Nursing

   :eek: :redlight: :redlight: 2 points. First, BEWARE of sign-on bonus! Second...money is NOT everything! I learned first hand myself. The bonus may seem $$$, but received 1st bonus in 2 checks with LOTS of taxes taken out. Worst hospital to work a...

8. Hospitals may be struck on June 2

   StatRNNJ97 replied to mark hamel's topic in New Jersey

   I have worked in union and non-union hospitals. I have to say that working in a unionized hospital is MUCH better than non-unionized. Without a union management thinks they can walk all over the nurses! Look...we all have to decide what is best fo...

10. celebrity deliveries

    StatRNNJ97 replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only reply I will give on this is that every patient I have cared for gets the best I can give as an L&D nurse. When a women is in labor it does not matter who you are because it is about the best outcome for mom and baby...period. Labor ...

12. Anyone finish shift and not return to job?

    StatRNNJ97 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am working in a VERY unsafe job. I think the "icing on the cake" was yesterday. I have brought many concerns to management and basically have been told to shut up. I have never left a job without giving 2 weeks notice, but I just feel that I can...

    StatRNNJ97 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am working in a hospital (NJ) where one of the OB docs does fundal pressure with every laboring patient during second stage. I am FREAKED out! It is not even a gentle application, but serious pushing up and down forcefully. I am not comfortable...

15. Nurse dates doctor openly at work.

    StatRNNJ97 replied to castle's topic in General Nursing

    Yup...see it where I work! Doctor (married) and nurse (married) and both openly flirt. She always makes sure she cares for his patients. She gets very nasty to nurses who get assigned to his patient in labor and will change the assignment. One ti...
