1. Is finding OB backup getting harder? Easier? Why?

   kirchnerfamily posted a topic in CNM

   It seems like CNM's are losing hospital privileges around here in Minnesota due to OB's who do not want to back them up. As a doula, just trying to understand this...is it simple politics? Or is it due to increases in lawsuits? Or pressure from insur...

   kirchnerfamily replied to kirchnerfamily's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks everyone! So, the person that is helping the main OB...is a resident? Or intern? Or another OB? Or an MD? Or could be any??? And what is the role of the OB nurse during a c-sec? It seems to me they just hang out by my side and explain what is ...

   kirchnerfamily posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi! I'm trying to put together a little handout on c-sec's and I wanted to have a figure to represent mom and baby with stick people representing the folks in the OR. Going off of what I have personally seen having had 3 c-sections, I know that in a ...

5. National American University???

   kirchnerfamily replied to LadyBug0387's topic in Kansas

   Private college is expensive! I attened the NAU nursing orientation and they very clearly go over all of the costs and requirements. Honestly, after 2 years at Inver and dealing with what HAS to be the worst admin staff in nearly every department (no...

12. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    kirchnerfamily replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've done both. Bottlefed exclusively one child and breastfed exclusively another. There is no difference in their health or intelligence or my relationship with them. I've come to the conclusion that the previous poster is dead on about letting ever...

13. Not sure if I should get all pre-reqs done first??? Advice?

    kirchnerfamily replied to Roxy0628's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I never assumed they did. However, that being obvious (not all schools alike), your GPA from high school or ACT test score really means diddly squat if you are going back to school 10 or 20 years after you graduated from High school. So, that being s...

14. Not sure if I should get all pre-reqs done first??? Advice?

    kirchnerfamily replied to Roxy0628's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You can't GET into the program here unless you HAVE completed all your nursing pre-req's. It's just too competative. They want you to show that you can go for a year or two and get excellent grades and complete classes. No point even applying unless ...
