1. Frontier RN-MSN. Bachelor's issue?

   mamagui replied to BCAN's topic in CNM

   When you enter the MSN at Frontier, you are already automatically placed on the DNP track....why not just finish there and not have anything to worry about?

2. Returning to L&D after miscarriage

   mamagui posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   On October 17 I found out that my baby was no longer alive. I was 18 weeks pregnant. I have taken all the time off that I can with PTO and sick leave (I don't qualify for FMLA until January), and I will be returning to work this Sunday. I am very muc...

3. Cervical Ripening

   mamagui replied to LibraSunCNM's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Maybe she was a TOLAC? Then cytotec would be contraindicated....could still use foley bulb, though. I see many ridiculous reasons for inductions all of the time, and I see many failed inductions as well. Sad, really. Many women don't even know why t...

4. Patient positioning after epidural

   mamagui replied to quazar's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I lay the Pt flat, no bump, but the HOB elevated at about a 30 degree angle. I usually only leave them like that for about 20 minutes, enough time so that the epidural has time to set up equally on both sides and rise to abdomen level. After that I u...

   mamagui replied to mamagui's topic in Ob/Gyn

   We have plenty of nurses and scrub techs with tons of visible tattoos....not really an issue at my hospital.

9. Disturbing things that I heard Dr.s say in the Labor room

   mamagui replied to mamagui's topic in CNM

   Aspiring, I am so disappointed to read these! So, so sad! I wonder why some of these people get into obstetrics/ gynecologics if they have absolutely no regard for women and the sanctity of birth.

    Holy cow! This sounds like assault!

11. Experience before RN/CNM worth it?

    mamagui replied to MyFive's topic in CNM

    mmm, that type of experience will help you to get a nursing job, BUT you will most likely need RN experience before beginning grad school (there are some exceptions to this, depending on which school you attend).

12. Disturbing things that I heard Dr.s say in the Labor room

    mamagui posted a topic in CNM

    Shortly after a mama gave birth, "You behaved exactly how I wanted" While giving an epidural, "Epidurals are actually better for baby" Care to add to the list?

13. Another reason unions suck!

    mamagui replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Union

    WOW! Please bring unions to the South! There is a large airplane manufacturer in my community whose Machinists Union tried to establish itself here and was literally run off by crazy right-to-work Southerners. The union representatives left a couple ...
