  2. Hypnobirthing?

    waterfall99 replied to Christi321's topic in Ob/Gyn

    if you want to deliver at home, look into professional midwives, they are not nurses, so it's not illegal for them. don't rule out homebirths just because a cnm can't do it, how about crossing over...

  5. My 2 cents on natural birth/birth plans

    waterfall99 replied to feebebe23's topic in Ob/Gyn

  10. University of Phoenix MSN Program

    waterfall99 replied to bsweilrn's topic in School, College Programs

    waterfall99 replied to NICURNMB's topic in Travel

  14. Experienced RN looking for answers

    waterfall99 replied to NICURNMB's topic in Travel

    See, I disagree, I think this is a pretty good offer, considering where it is. Also, payrates in travel nursing have had a sharp decline. There aren't assignments out there much over 40, and average...

  15. Newborn Transition Policy

    waterfall99 replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ALL hospitals need to stop doing this, "taking baby away for hours at a time, so stuff can be done to it" It's so NOT necessary. Where I work, is the best method I've seen so far, and I've worked at 8...

    waterfall99 replied to Selke's topic in Travel

    waterfall99 replied to 1994OBRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    where I'm at now, we have to wear whites and we aren't supposed to wear them in, the hospital does not provide them. It's such a crock. I've been here 3 months and my scrubs are disgusting! I will...

    waterfall99 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am SO exhausted, what a night. Poor girl. Wanted to go natural, but very reasonable and flexible patient. They were self-pay, planning to go home in 24 hours, etc. She was 5cm when my shift...

    waterfall99 replied to waterfall99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    waterfall99 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have several of them, but 1 thing in particular is bugging me lately. It seems just about every patient I take care of lately, always asks me "is that safe for the baby?" when they are referring to...

    waterfall99 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn
