1. Lactation/Childbirth Educator& L&D Job

   emh29 replied to CEG's topic in Ob/Gyn

   jacq- it's up to each individual trainer, but ours told me that she'd like to have at least 5 women to hold the 2-day lactation educator training, since she was coming down from Mass. for the weekend. If you're interested, contact Kathleen Todd-Seymo...

2. Lactation/Childbirth Educator& L&D Job

   emh29 replied to CEG's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I think the only way that you can host it is if there isn't a trainer in your area (because if they live there, they're familiar with facilities and can find local women on their own). So it sounds like that might work for you. I live in CT and the c...

3. Room for Guys in this specialty?

   emh29 replied to natron20's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Like some previous posters have said, there are a lot of male OBs, so I'm sure that many women wouldn't mind. On the other hand, there are women who specifically choose a female midwife and prefer to be surrounded by women during that time (myself in...

4. Lactation/Childbirth Educator& L&D Job

   emh29 replied to CEG's topic in Ob/Gyn

5. Question for OB GYN NURSES???

   emh29 replied to sunsky778's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am pre-nursing right now. I have been taking it a little bit at a time because I also have two little ones (4 and 17 mos.). I am a SAHM mom right now, so I've been working on the pre-reqs and will start nursing school (ADN) when they are a bit olde...

6. Medical Assistant in Hospital??

   emh29 replied to tx2007's topic in California

   Ignore them :) A nurse is so very different from a MA. It sounds like she might feel a little self conscious about the fact that she is a MA and you will be a nurse. But that is her problem; you shouldn't have to worry about it!

7. Cesarean Art exhibition

   emh29 replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks for sharing that link. I can relate with the artist's emotions.. I, too, had a c/s (that, in retrospect, I realize was very likely unnecessary) and felt violated in a way that I cannot even describe. It is difficult for anyone else to understa...

8. I think I got in!

   emh29 replied to missninaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would definitely take that as a good sign! I'm still waiting to find out.. although I'm not too optimistic. But I'm happy for you!
