1. U of Indianapolis Nurse Midwife Masters Program

   anitame replied to Lausana's topic in General Nursing

   Wow, is this guy out of touch or what? He must work with MDs who are at the bedside constantly "just in case" there is a need for an emergency C/S. Unlike the rest of us who are the ones in the room, doing the work and calling the physician when we...

7. Home birth

   anitame replied to Anagray's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Very well said Deb, I couldn't agree more. Although I understand about the fear that "something will go wrong" the maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality rates in the U.S. are certainly not better than in those European countries where homebi...

8. the 4 P's of effective labor

   anitame replied to mark_LD_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I agree with the psyche being very important. I'm sure we've all seen the woman who just would NOT push. Sometimes it's fear; sometimes it's lack of confidence. One of the hardest jobs we do is help women overcome this. It's all part of the journ...

    anitame replied to RN always's topic in General Nursing

    anitame replied to califrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We always have 2 RNs for vaginal deliveries as per the NRP guidelines. The 2nd RN stays until things are stable and the primary RN is able to assume care of both mom and babe. For C/S the OR crew is there for mom and one of the LDRP nurses and the ...
