   Merovingianne replied to Merovingianne's topic in International

   I'm just looking for books that have vocab and phrases in English and then in another language. Not books teaching a language, or books teaching nursing in a different language, but vocab primers that translate terms from English to another language...

   Merovingianne replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm a student nurse, who will actually be doing OB for the first time this semester. But I'm older (2nd degree), and will be having kids in the next few years... I would like my first to be at a birth center. I don't think I'm ready to go all the w...

4. US Nurse-Midwives in France/Europe

   Merovingianne replied to Merovingianne's topic in International

   Thanks for your reply...now, a follow-up question: Assuming that getting a visa isn't a problem, the only issue is passing the boards then? I wouldn't have to go to midwife school in France as well?

    Merovingianne replied to Heartfelt4Newborns's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Quote: Your period serves a purpose; it washes pathogens from the body. You don't get that with a tampon. My thougths exactly...if it was needed to wash pathogens, why would the FDA have approved Seasonale, the drug that reduces the number of cycl...

    Merovingianne replied to TLR03's topic in Maryland
