we do sugars on admission, at 1hr & 4hrs for babies

I teach NRP; it's a fun class. The algorithm is straightforward. If you read the book and do the practice quizzes at the ends of the chapters, you will be in good shape.

LDRP...I love labor

oh my gosh I'm getting gray hairs just reading this thread...

yeah, I think we've all had a nurse taking care of us at one time or another who didn't seem to give a crap about taking care of us. I think they kinda suck.

Most of our docs will try for a vag delivery if baby A is vertex even if B isn't, and will attempt to flip baby B after A is delivered. But only a couple will deliver baby B breech, the rest will section the pt.

EXACTLY. that has happened to me more than once too, it's always a hair-raising experience.
-
why aren't you supposed to pull the wires apart?
-
I wish we could come down to the ER to monitor patients. it just seems like much less of a hassle, for everyone.
-
that's exactly how it goes at my hosp too
-
I should mention that our is an LDRP too...harder to keep labor patients 1:1 when all you have is labor patients, I suppose. And our hard copy of the strip still prints out in the room off the monitor itself.

One of the experinced labor nurses I work with (our labor guru) recently gave me a tip for working with those unmotivated moms. She said if you present it simply like this: "your baby needs you to______" (position change or whatever it is) that can make all the difference in the world with those moms who just don't seem to want to participate much. it does seem to help.

no it's not really a big deal, it's just one of those things that get under my skin. like when people say sonnameters.

Sorta OT, but modified Sims' position works just awesome to turn an OP baby
