  1. An old thread reborn.... but to be fair to the birth plan, the soaps used in hospitals are some of the crappiest stuff out there. Johnson's baby soap for instance is full of chemicals considered unhealthy. Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo Has Can...
  2. Employment Contract...Standard?

    The non compete clause says I can't perform my same specialty for any other private employer within a 45 mile radius for a year following termination of my employment there. I think it is fairly common as I signed one at my last job as well. I gues...
  3. Employment Contract...Standard?

    I have a written offer letter but no contract at my job. In my case it's because they don't consider NP's to be on par with the physician staff so it doesn't occur to them. I asked for one and was told no. I did have to sign a noncompete clause, t...
  4. Advice for a 2nd degree BSN student please?

    Consider doing a lactation educator or doula (depending on the types of facilities), NRP, childbirth educator or other similar type of course. It will give you a good background of knowledge as well as some practical experience. It will also show ...
  5. There's really no way for anyone to do this. How would a patient go about finding out if intermittent monitoring is possible or if iv fluids are required? Especially considering that a patient has the right to refuse anything, even if we coerce the...
  6. Which states are CNMs permitted to do homebirths?

    Some states require collaboration and some don't. It seems safer to require this but it really doesn't accomplish a lot other than restrict practice. My state law requires a physician in the state, so they could be 4-5 hours away and still meet the...
  7. Airforce Reserves Nursing

    As far as where you serve, you would be assigned to a particular unit at a particular location, so you would have to plan on going back each month to that locations for your drill. With regard to deployment, my understanding (I am previous Army going...
  8. Looking for a good CNM school in Georgia State

    Emory is your only regular option. Very pricy but seems to be a great program. Otherwise the distance programs- Frontier, Case Western, maybe some others. I don't know if it is still there, but I used the website allnursingschools.com to look for...
  9. There are plenty of reasons not to bathe- temperature regulation (leading to blood sugar problems, etc), bonding, breastfeeding, leaving vernix on the skin, and more. Reason to bathe-- so the staff does not have to glove and gown. Seriously-- I ver...
  10. Postpartum pit

    Our hospital tends to run in whatever is left in the ubiquitous labor augmentation bag and one more bag. I am a CNM and most of my patients decline routine pitocin :) I recommend it in the case of risk factors, but since most of my patients avoid o...
  11. Infant Nurse

    The parents!
  12. Midwifery and abortions

    Nurse midwives are a type of midwife, there are several other flavors as well. Probably less likely to perform abortions or work in abortion services than nurse midwives are as the other types of midwives will typically practice in out of hospital/i...
  13. Midwifery and abortions

    It does depend on the state- some states including the one where I practice, prohibit anyone but physicians from providing abortion services. Other states, like where I was previously, allow midwives to perform certain types of abortions. To clarify...
  14. pediatric Nurse Midwife

    I like the FNP/CNM model (which was not offered at my school, I am CNM only). I'm not sure about the usefulness of the CNM/PNP model though. I am sure there are some places it would work well or the program wouldn't exist! It is within the scope o...
  15. Any CNM NHSC scholars out there?

    Go to the website and read the info, it will answer all of your questions, it is very informative and easy to navigate. Your site must be located within a HPSA (health professional shortage area). Based on the location it is assigned a score. The ...
