[ChrystalGHamilton]

Hello, I am a current graduate student at Western Governors University, completing my Master's Capstone or Thesis. I am completing research to find if nurses are providing routine inpatient family planning counseling/education in the inpatient setting; and if not, what barriers do you think prevent this from happening.

If you are a LD, post partum or antepartum, please take the time to complete my survey. I ask that full-time management, educators, and lactation consultants please self-exclude from this study.

Results from this survey will posted in allnurses.com.
