1. Need an advice

   CNM 26.2 replied to anaklod's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Actually, CNM's can provide the same services as WHNP with the addition of attending births. CNMs do women's health care and primary care as well.

2. 2nd shifter possibly moving to 3rd shift

   CNM 26.2 replied to Jocee82's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I worked nights for many years and for various reasons. I never realized how little sleep I actually got until I stopped working nights-I was amazed at how great I felt! Having said that-I did like the atmosphere of night shift much better so it wa...

3. Comfort Measures...

   CNM 26.2 replied to winter_green's topic in Ob/Gyn

   klone just about covered it all! :) The only other thing I would add is-if for any reason the patient has to be (or wants to be) in bed and lying on her back-have her bend her knees with feet flat on the bed, place your hands just under her knees a...

4. preterm inductions

   CNM 26.2 replied to rebajcn's topic in Ob/Gyn

   ACOG states that elective inductions should not be done until at least 39 weeks so measures to prevent inductions under 38 weeks are still not adequate. Even though this doc brings a lot of $$ to the hospital-one law suit could cost the hospital mil...

5. How to keep track of Dr orders?

   CNM 26.2 replied to PRETTYODD's topic in General Nursing

   I would suggest to ask other nurses on your unit how they do it. I suggest this because each unit is unique in how they do things-maybe there is already a process in place that you don't know about. Even if there isn't, some of the other nurses may b...

6. Transition from RN to CNM within the same facility??

   CNM 26.2 replied to CNM 26.2's topic in CNM

   Unfortunately, that's not an option unless I move my family somewhere else-and I'm pretty stubborn, I refuse to uproot my family and my life because one or two nurses are having a hard time with me being a CNM. Midwife228-thanks for your comments, th...

7. Accidental Diversion - Need help!

   CNM 26.2 replied to malenurse122879's topic in General Nursing

   Yep, for sure a lesson learned!!! You really should have called and/or returned to the hosptial immediately instead of waiting over the weekend to see if someone called you about it. BUT, you'll remember next time for sure. I wish you the best!

8. Things that should be banned in acute care.

   Diane~ I hope you got written up for not following doctors orders. PS, I'm just kidding!!!!!

9. online vs classroom

   CNM 26.2 replied to LPWalker's topic in Indiana (ISU)

   I just finished online grad school-and it is harder than classroom-at least for me. I think it really depends on your learning style. In a traditional classroom you can read the material then have it reinforced in the lecture-with online learning y...

10. Have you ever had to nurse through a water shutdown?

    CNM 26.2 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I have only been through very short water outages (a couple of hours or less) for construction. We also used bottled water for drinking and we filled the bathtubs with water before the shut down so we could use a bucket to pour that water into the t...

11. Those who get it - get it, Those who don't - Never Will.

    CNM 26.2 replied to abbaking's topic in Relations

    This thread reminds me of one particularly CRAZY shift I had. We had one patient after another walking in-all of them of course in labor. We had every room full-we were short a nurse-we did two back to back c-sections (and it's a small hospital wit...

14. Bloody patients

    CNM 26.2 replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in General Nursing

    I beg your pardon. I took the fact that the OP said "Patients" (plural) "Please realize the following" that maybe he/she had issues with most or all patients; in which case a career change may be in order.

15. Transition from RN to CNM within the same facility??

    CNM 26.2 replied to CNM 26.2's topic in CNM

    Haha!! I like your thinking!!!!!! That's what I try to do-I just hope they get over their passive agressiveness soon!!!
