I’ve been a L/D nurse for 30+ years. Peppermint oil works so well for nausea and also for inability to void after delivery. Pushing on the side can help rotate a head and will cut 2nd stage tremendously. Never ever trust a multip especially a grand multip! Be careful with having pit in the room. Someone will hang it as a primary bag and mainline you pit. Always have an IFE for decels and a IUPC for amino infusion. Have a 10cc syringe in your pocket to remove the foley quickly just in case that baby wants to fall out after an epidural.
Thanks!
Granddaughter is in her 10th month in labor orientation. Houston Methodist. She loves her job. She is also pregnant so she gets great pre-natal care.
I just accepted my first position as a LDRP Nurse and I start orientation in December! This video was perfect! I will be externing on the floor until then orienting and helping the nurses! So I will put these tips to use, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! You'll do great.
How are things going? Curious
I just found your video, I’m going to see more of them. I am a L&D transition RN after being in Telemetry for 7 years and I feel like a New grad so this really helps.
I just accepted a LDRP position after being a postpartum nurse! I am excited yet terrified! But I'm glad I came across this video, as it will be helpful! :) TY!
I have been waiting for this video to be made for six years. Thank you so much this is perfect
I’m so glad! 🤍🥰
This video is awesome. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you SO much for this. My unit is a little behind so we don’t have the peanut, but a new GYN mentioned this so hopefully we will get one. I’ve only been on my unit about a month and a half so I’m really trying to learn anything I can to make my job easier, my patient’s labor experience better, and my co workers jobs less stressful. Thank you! Following!
Thanks for watching! Yes I love the peanut ball and I think every unit should have them. The fact that you're watching videos and learning tells me you're a great nurse, just never stop learning! You're doing amazing.
I absolutely love using the CUB (yoga ball alternative)
Thank you so much for these tips! I am 3 months in as a L&D nurse (still on orientation) and all those tips are so helpful. I will be incorporating them into my practice. Thanks again!
I am gearing up for my 3rd birth (repeat c-section) but I loved this so much. I would love to try and labor again, but haven’t had great progression with the last 2. I wish I would have given that peanut ball a better try lol. You have a great personality and I bet you are a fun nurse to have bedside 😁
I have a shadow this week. I’m so nervous. The interview went great and I’m super excited.
such helpful tips!! I'm trained in high risk and postpartum, and I start labor training in two weeks! Excited but nervous!
Labor is the best! It can be a lot but it’s fun. Good luck!
Great great tips!!! Amy you’re so wonderful! ✨
Thanks so much!!
Girll u have an amazing channel! U literally help me out more than some teachers I’ve had in nursing school! Thanks so much (just subscribed)
This means so much to me! Thank you 🥰😍
On my 6th week of orientation and this is so helpful! Thank you!!
Starting my L&D preceptorship tonight, this was so helpful, thank you!!
I’m so glad! I hope it went well.
Oh gosh this is so helpful. I’m starting on L&D next week and I’m excited/terrified haha. Thank you!
You’ll do great! I’m glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing this! Super nervous to start my L&D practicum in a few weeks, but this helped out a ton!!🤍
Transitioning from med/tele to L&D next week! Huge change but this helps! Thank you!
You got this! So glad this was helpful!
Wow what a great video!!! I am on my 10th week of orientation in L&D and omg it is sooo tough and tiring but I love it!!! Thank u for the video
I’m so glad it was helpful! I hope you are having such a great time and learning so much 🤩
I loved this. thank you
These tips are very useful. I’ve been a nurse for 4 years doing mainly OB. For the past 3 years I’ve been working at a rural hospital and have been doing basically everything from Nursery to Tele and ER. I’ve learned a lot doing this but what sucks is I’m the only one doing our OB dept in one shift. Like I’ll have postpartums, antepartums and laboring patients all at once and admitting outpatient gyn surgicals in the morning. Our census is not crazy since it’s a small hospital the most I’ve had all at once are 6 pts (L&D, PP, and/or ante)but I can’t be expecting someone to help when the pt is critical so your tips will definitely be helpful for me. Thank you.
That’s really scary honestly. I’m excited my next hospital has union mandated ratios. That would be really hard.
Ohhhhh that's what they gave me (turbu-what what). I had literally no breaks between contractions and that shot was literally like heaven for me
THANK YOU!
I have an interview for a L&D position and I am praying I get it! I’m on cardiac stepdown right now and can’t wait to finally work my dream job ✨🙏🏻
I’m so hopeful for you! Good luck 🥰
Good luck and keep us updated if you got it or not!
I got the job!✨👼🤍
@@t.g5223 congrats!
You’re amazing! Beyond helpful Haha
So glad! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video, i am here because i will have my interview for landD position in a couple of hours 😊 love your videos,, ❤️
Great Information! Thank you so very much!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
These are great tips!! That peanut ball 🥜 is the best! I used it for all 3 of my births and it dilated me so quickly 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing!! I seriously love it so much.
I'm currently working in postpartum but from next month I start in L&d at my dream hospital. Excited but also super nervous bc j dont have l&d experience
This actually was a great video. At the moment I can't think of anything useful to add and that says something because of my unique perspective. I've been a L&D nurse for 14 years and am currently expecting my 10th baby. All that to say, I'm familiar with both sides of the L&D situation.
Outstanding video!
🥰 taught by the best, truly!
I'm a new nurse grad, literally just passed the NCLEX last Friday. I've accepted an L&D position which starts October. I'm beyond excited, as this was my 1st choice but nervous and anxious. Thank you for posted these videos. I hope I'm able to put these great tips to use. Also, do you recommend any pocket size books or notes that are ideal to have as a new nurse?
@@heppifactory I just started Monday 🤭 lol, but I'm optimistic that it will go great!
@@dionne2023how’s it going?
If I ever have another baby I want you as my L&D nurse I know you moved on from there, but watching this video gosh you are amazing!!
That means so much to me! 🥰 I love it and still want to be involved in birth in some capacity, I just don’t know how right now
Awesome tips, thank you. I don't know what a bypass is?
funny thing is the 1st tip was actually taught to me in my labor and delivery rotation!! haha
That’s awesome! 🤍
Loved the video! I'm just an aspiring CNA but I feel like I could become an RN just by watching your videos! Another tip I heard is to bring a small fan to the room because some women can get very hot during labor. Just another item to add to the kitchen sink kinda. Also, cool soundtrack at the end! What are some ways CNAs can help you guys?
Great video!
Thank you for the support! ♥️
Hello! 🥰 I just finished my pre reqs for nursing! L&D is my DREAM! I’ve been an OB medical assistant for almost 10 years.
I have one baby and currently pregnant with my next💕 (a girl)
I watched your whole video and right when you got to the end about talking about the peanut shaped ball, I instantly said to myself wtf? Lol
My labor with my son SUCKED. I was induced because my blood pressure was too high (ended up getting preeclampsia). I swear to you, I was induced on a Tuesday night and had a c-section delivery on Thursday morning but NOT ONCE did any nurse teach me any positions that could help my labor. I was literally laying on my back the whole entire time.
I struggled with postpartum depression afterwards and blame having a c-section. I was sooo excited as a new mom to have that vaginal delivery and have the baby put on my chest and just feel that instant connection! I feel this is where my PPD started.
Anyway, I hope I can one day become a labor and delivery nurse to help other moms the way I wish someone would’ve helped me 🥹
One of the RNs on my floor told a story last night of a multip who had an epidural and fell asleep. The RN went in to check on her and the baby was literally laying in the bed....SHE DELIVERED IN HER SLEEP! There was an FSE on the baby so was still picking up heart tones.
It happens more often that you’d think!
Birth vlogs are like my new favorite thing so I’m still deciding if I want to be a l&d nurse or a postpartum nurse. I know I want to be in ob/gyn but not sure where
How about a midwife?
I love LDRP because you get to do all whenever you feel like it!
In my hospital you have to be a postpartum in order to be labor and delivery. At least a year
In my hospital, we do it all!! It's a lot at first but it's exciting! I love that I get to be with the patient through labor and also take care of them after!! The patients seem to really like having the same nurses too.
Lol I know you’re a nurse but you look like my GYN dr😭!!! Your eyes are so PREETTYYYY🥹🥹🥹🥹😍
Got any tips for mag labor patients?
I got so nauseous after I got to postpartum!! Why is that?? Also any tips for cleaning up or assisting with vomiting patients?
Can you give tips for a c-section
Hi Amy
I love your videos
Please who conducts the delivery...is it the L&D nurse
cant wait to be a labor and delivery nurse😔😔🤞🤞
Hi there nursing student here! Just a quick question, what do you mean by “bypass”?
what about Promethazine if Zofran doesn't work?
How many hours for Labor and Delivery does have at hospital
What is a bypass delivery? We don’t use that term at the hospitals I work at. Is it a Stop & Drop…what we call it where they come and just have the baby within minutes?
What is a by pass?
Love these tips. I had never heard of closed knee pushing! And, yes, never trust a multip! Last night we had a pt Who was 8cm, and then threw up. Baby flew out onto the bed!!! Thank God the doctor was just down the hall and the NNP was there!
That happens SO OFTEN! I always joke that patient puke their babies out. It happened all the time on our unit with multips. Delivering physician: Dr. Bed!
Also highly recommend bundle birth nurses on Instagram, she shares a ton of alternate pushing positions and general labor and delivery knowledge. I learned a TON from here.
What do you mean when you say bypass?
Someone who comes up to triage ready to have a baby right now. Like we have minutes or less to get them to a labor room and we’re running.
I bet they get sick and the blue bag isn't there because you've already had a lot of things going on at the time and you either didn't get to it yet, or you just didn't get the chance to think about it because other things were critical.
Pitocin should be banned. I had postpartum psychosis from it. Baby had to be revived from it. My Uterus probably almost tore from it. This video is scary
Another tip, refer to patient as mom. I hated everything about my baby’s birth because of people that look at birth as something they have to help or get involved. The body knows what to do. I wish all birth would be just at home… and only absolute high risk or emergency to be in hospitals. Im so sorry i came across this video, i see how some nurses think now and it’s not reassuring …
Jesus saves 😊
I start my first RN job in the birthing center in a week so this video is great timing! 🩺
That’s amazing! I’m so excited for you!
