    Have you looked at drexel? There's no traveling to campus until year 2. In year 2 and 3 there are some days on campus but not many. They have a primary care and an acute care and dual program are...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    And this is a great example of breastfeeding issues...an 11 ounce loss isn't a meaningful piece of information. The baby's initial weight needs to be know, the amount of fluids given to mom in labor...

    Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So we shouldn't educate when somebody has made up their mind? In what other field of medicine or nursing do we not educate a patient just because they have already made up their mind? That just...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A mom feeling guilty isn't really a reason to not educate. So we educate about formula, they sign saying we did...and they formula feed. It is that simple. If mom feels guilt...that is her own...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Bombarding and berating and belittling isn't what Baby Friendly is about. Baby Friendly is about encouraging breastfeeding and increasing the success rates. It is your choice to formula feed or...

    Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The fact that they have a strong culture isn't a reason to not educate. You educate, they listen and what they do with the information is up to them. If they decide to listen to grandma you can at...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    All you want to do is list the risks just like you list the risks with medications or surgery. You do not talk about them being a bad mom or negligent or anything like that. You want to simple state...

    Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What difference does it make? I was formula fed. I am now an IBCLC and a strong proponent of educating mothers about the risks of formula. It isn't fair to hand them formula and not explain the...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Formula comes with risks...risks many people aren't aware of. So by educating and making them sign a form you are providing informed consent. What's the problem with informed consent? It's about...

    Omg but it doesn't mean that the FNP and PNP have "get basically the same pediatric training". You truly believe your education in peds specific stuff is the same as the PNP? What the heck are PNP...
