   Over 80%, probably close to 90% of the US population has a form of HSV 1 or 2. If you practice good and proper hand hygiene and don't touch your face, you will be ok. I have never heard of someone not being able to be hired because of HSV or workin...

6. Midwifery in the military

   Daiseymay replied to ljm9304's topic in Government

   I can't offer advice, but I will be following this. I'm considering this as an option, too, after I go to school. I would be considering Navy because my husband is active duty Marine Corps and it will be more likely we could be stationed close toge...

10. Inpatient obstetric cert. vs. maternal newborn cert. ??

    Daiseymay replied to Daiseymay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ok! Most of my difficulty with ibclc was taking it a week after a c-section. I was drained and found the topic was covered more broadly than I had expected. What resources do you recommend for the RNC-OB?

11. Inpatient obstetric cert. vs. maternal newborn cert. ??

    Daiseymay replied to Daiseymay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks! I do mostly labor and delivery but I work very closely with mother baby because of my heavy passion of breastfeeding assistance and my lactation certification. I think both may be a good fit. I think inpatient OB may be most useful to me sin...
