Calling all L&D nurses!!!

[VickyRN, MSN, DNP, RN]

OK, Heather, Shay, SuzieK, HazeK and the rest... I'm counting on you. Need to prepare a short presentation for my ADN students on LABOR SUPPORT... i.e., breathing, massage, effleurage, etc. Do you know any good sources offhand? Any web sites that you would recommend. Thanks in advance!!!:kiss

Vicki, I don't know if this will work for you or not, but when I was in my ADN program we had to attend a childbirth ed class. Might be a helpful addition to what you've already planned.
