- Aug 31, '12 by DoGoodThenGoMidwives, nurses can safely perform abortions
Abortions are just as safe when performed by trained nurse practitioners, midwives and physician assistants as when doctors do them, a new review of the evidence suggests.
Researchers analyzed five studies that compared first-trimester abortion complications and side effects based on who performed the procedures in close to 9,000 women - and typically found no differences.

Sep 13, '12 by jetshHey friends,
Are any of you working on these issues currently? I'm interested in this, applying to grad school to work on this, and would love to chat with anyone else about the place of nurses/NPs/nurse-midwives in this situation. (Also which schools are the most supportive with training!)
Feel free to PM me.
Thanks!
