Default Re: First placements

MMM not being funny, the VE's ok fair enough, but really there should surely be some underpinning theory to all of this, uni should have given you sessions, and I don't think that pethidine should be adminstered unless you know the implications/reasoning and dosage that you are given as after all if that midwife has drawn it up wrong or not checked it properly, they'll be in the s**t and also the poor student mw involved. We do not give anything like that unless we can state the affect it will have on mum/baby, the dosage amounts and also the reversal if required. God I hope they're not doing VIT K aswell xx supervisors of midwives at our trusts would have major hissyfits-darn right too x
