In Missouri CNM's do not deliver babies, they work as WHNP. This is the law here in Missouri. If the CNM's would give up their need to do home deliveries, their scope of practice would change. It seems that home deliveries is a big thing for the C...

well, stay far away from missouri. cpm's just became legal, last year. cnm's are not allowed to deliver here because they would take $$ from doctors.

what is the real source of oppression in nursing? is the oppression caused by nurses themselves? is the oppression coming from a source other than nursing? are the negative behaviors in nursing stemming from learned helplessness? take time to reall...

nurse on nurse violence is "horizontal violence"; it can be verbal or physical. lateral violence occurs when management, doctors, and/or hospital administration gets in on the abuse of nurses. i have worked at hospitals when doctors are physically ...

I saw a help wanted sign at the local grocery store a few years back. I applied and got a job in the produce section. The job was union, with benefits. I took a 40% pay cut, but I didn't have to work around nasty nurses any longer. I received gre...

And what dose does Bush say "malpractice is keeping OB's from practicing their love with women in America", or something very close to the quote. So, now a damaged baby/mother can only get a half a million dollars to pay for his/her life-time medica...

I'm writing form Missouri. We have women giving birth in their homes w/o professional help. These women have had bad experiences in Missouri hospitals. Midwives will be jailed if they attend a home birth in Missouri. The story was on a St. Louis ...

There has also been a sharp rise in deaths of mothers due to medical intervention that is not needed, and c-sections done because of this medical intervention. Midwives are the ones who should be attending births, and caring for women in this countr...

"Often members of the media have difficulty differentiating between lay midwives and CNMs and don't realize there's a v. significant difference between the two, and write reports in which it's hard to tell which group they're talking about." CNM are ...

Jolie, Here is a link. No CNM's can be found to help women in the St. Louis area. The CNM's work as WHNP. http://www.kmov.com/localnews/stories/kmov_localnews_070808_midwives.150236a5.html

Nurses could be doing some great things for their profession, and their patients. Nurses should not have time to "eat their young", as there are more important issues at hand.

This manager is abusive, and she/he is trying to tell how far they can push you. Look for another job-

Many nurses have lived up to the low standards set before them. Poor grammar is only one symptom-

Don't meet with anyone unless you know what the meeting is about. You better get your own lawyer on retainer, now. They will hang you out to dry if they can. I don't care what the case is about, your the nurse, you get the poop end of the stick. ...

Tweety, I don't understand you last questions. Why are we getting into the nursing profession? I've been a nurse for quite a long time (16 yrs), and my friend has been a nurse for 2 years. At he present time we find nursing/medicine dangerous. Admini...

Well, I disagree with you. I start law school Fall 2008, and my BSN has paved the way for my advanced education. Advanced education dosn't have to be in nursing as long as it benefits nursing. A law degree could benefit nursing in many ways. If nu...

it's amazing how nurses will wait until they get the doctor alone to confront them about bad behavior in front of a patient. i say correct them in front of the patient, otherwise the patient walks away thinking nurses are real door mats. also, i f...

quit nursing and do something were you are appriciated. If the doctors think they can do a better job, hand it to them on a platter.

my friend is going back to school to finish her bsn. the reason she is doing this is to get out of nursing and get her masters, thus changing her career and her life. the nurses in her classes talk about how the profession must do all it can to kee...

The doctors bring the money to the hospital, the nurses don't. I directly blame doctors for lack of nurses at the bed side, and second I blame nurses for putting up with the abuse. I also directly blame nurses for lack of nurses at the bedside, bec...

I feel like I've been punched in the gut, and I don't even know you- Get a good lawyer-

Must know more about it- Did your husband pay for the insurance?

How corrupt are the hospitals who view patients as money makers, and nurses as slaves?

Nothing could be farther from the truth-

BurnerMom So...I went in the med room, gathered my senses about me and brushed it off. Why do nurses do this? Why did you not write him up? Why did you not tell him not to speak to you this way? You just brushed it off? Why? As a nurse I don't u...
