I did provide a link and it’s being moderated. It’s from the la times in 2018 that references a study about doctors. 8 percent of women preferred a male obgyn. 41 percent had no preference. This...

I totally respect your perspective as a male labor nurse, and I’m sure you are great at your job and have your own reasons for being drawn to the field. However, it is an avoidable fact that labor...

But a patient has every right to decline a male to insert his hands into her private areas to do cervical checks. I had a female OB by choice with both my kids, and I hated seeing her male partner on...
I’m a million years away from becoming a CNM. I live in LA and want to go back to school to get my nursing degree (ABSN) and then hopefully become a CNM after I get some quality labor and delivery...
