ok got another question.

do nurses in your area perform artifical rupture of membranes?

I was told in some states that RN's properly trained are allowed to do them.

trying to find what states allow this.

can anyone help?

No AROM for nurses here in Rhode Island either....thank god! Don't we already have enough to do? :)

In washington you can arom, in idaho you can only if it is for the purpose of placing a scalp electrode, and only then if you are specially trained.

It's o.k. with the California nursing board, but up to hospitals if they let the RN AROM. I do AROM and I have the training. Never AROM with out an order. The fetal head must be fully engaged to keep a cord from prolapsing, and at least 3cm of cervical dilation.
