    Baby Catcher, CNM replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  3. Discontinuing Mag Sulfate

    Baby Catcher, CNM replied to nurturing_angel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is how I prescribe mag post partum. If the mom had severe preeclampsia I order it for 24 hours PP. If it was mild then 12 hours PP. The nurse just turns it off, no need to

  4. Frontier Questions

    Baby Catcher, CNM replied to AmyLynn219's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Before the term system it was self paced. You had to have so many credits to continue getting financial aid but there was no real time limit per class. You had to be extremely motivated to keep on...

  10. Who sets the pay rate?

    Baby Catcher, CNM posted a topic in Travel

    I recently spoke to a recruiter and she told me the pay rate is set by the hospitals. Is this true? Does the travel agency have any flexibility in pay scale? I'm thinking they do. Also she said...

  12. Contract cancelled

    Baby Catcher, CNM replied to karen72156's topic in Travel

  16. Opinion about autism

    Baby Catcher, CNM replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Baby Catcher, CNM replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    The View just did a show on Autism and they said 1/166 kids are diagnosed with it. They said the rate 20 years agao was 1/10,000. It made me wonder why such a huge jump in numbers. I'm sure some can...
