baby monitor 2 baby units image
reese
I just bought a Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor off of EBAY. Can someone please tell me how to reset it.
Answer
I also bought one off of ebay but luckly did not get a chance to use it but these are the instructions word for word that she sent me with mine! Hope it helps!
1. Remove the plastic cap from one end of a clean-unused-test-stick and snap the cap onto the other end of stick. Insert the test stick into the test stick slot of the monitor. The beveled corner on the insertion end of the stick must face in toward the monitor. THE STICK MUST SNAP INTO PLACE TO PERFORM PROPERLY. THE MONITOR SHOULD NOT BE TUNRED ON UNTIL STEP 2.
2. Press and hold the "M" button. Continue pressing the "M" button while turning the monitor on. NOTE: Do not take finger off the "M" button until these directions say to to do so in Step 5.
3. The screen will show the "remove the test stick" symbol(a flashing test stick with an arrow pointing right). Conitnue pressing "M".
4. Keep pressing the "M" button and in about 20 seconds, you will see a screen full of symbols. The screen will also display these symbols when you initially turn the montior on for the FIRST time. This indicates the memory is now cleared of all prior data.
5. Remove test stick first and then QUICKLY release your finger from the "M" button. The memory should now be cleared.
6. Your screen should display a flashing "M" and one or two dashes. If it does not, it will probably show a "1" and an "M" in a non-flashing mode. If so, you will need to repeat all steps of this process. This procedure may take several times before you successfully reset the unit to its"new" state.
7. Start using the monitor on CD 1 as per the instruction booklet.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU AND BABY DUST TO YOU AND ALL TTC!!!!

What is the best and worst aspect of being a labor and delivery nurse?
Nurse Autu
I am a nursing student, and I am most interested in working in labor and delivery. I was just wondering what what the best and worst part of that unit is and if the burnout rate is high. I imagine the hardest part would be letting a baby go home with obviously unfit parents, and stillbirths. How often does this happen? How are you typically treated by patients? Do you HAVE to assist in circumcisions? In general could you just tell me anything you think would be helpful
Answer
I'm an LDRP nurse and I love it. I feel like I have the best job in the world. The best part of my job is being a part of the most important event in people lives. We get alot of feedback from our patients through patient call backs and surveys, and nothing makes my day like seeing a patient or patient family say that I made a difference. Just knowing that I made that family's birth experience a little more special is an awesome feeling.
I don't think the burnout rate is high, most nurses who work in this area are here because this is where they truly want to be and love what they do.
The hardest parts are the obvious, when we don't get a good baby, drug addicted moms, poor home situations etc., but also, dealing with some of the doctors can be difficult. This can be a very intense unit and the docs tend to be very intense and can be very difficult to deal with at times. As a nurse you need to know your stuff and be able to handle doctors when things aren't going as planned. Remember that every pregnant woman that comes through the door is 2 patients, the fact that we cannot see one of them makes it all the more important that we are experts at reading monitors and knowing signs and symptoms of something going wrong.
And, yes, if you work in a postpartum unit you will have to assist with circumcisions. It's not that bad, you just have to remove your personal feelings from the situation. I work midnights, so I don't have to do it often, docs do circs when they make rounds on day shift.
Labor/Delivery is not the kind of place you work because you think it might be fun to care for babies and be part of the birth experience. It's the kind of place either you "love it" or you "hate it". It takes a long time, alot of dedication and learning experiences before you can be good at it. Be sure it's what you want before you make that kind of decision.
