    Serious Question-newborn

    Uh, no. But I'm not overly surprised. Being brutally honest, "veteran" nursery/postpartum nurses are some of the most stuck-in-their-ways nurses that I have ever met in my career. Newborn care and...

    Opposition to Contact Tracing

    What I'm saying is I'm concerned that come November, that won't

    Opposition to Contact Tracing

    I think you've hit quite a few nails on their heads, Emergent. This has become so ridiculously polarized and partisan that there are people who are deliberately doing everything they can to oppose...
  4. My best advice would be to wait to start a CNM program until you're financially able to either work very part time, or not at all. The classmates I had who worked full time the entire program really...
  5. Evidence for this claim? @Emergent, I saw that commercial for the first time yesterday and thought of you. I indulge in fast food from time to time, but Burger King is definitely not my guilty...

    Judy Mikovitz, Ph D and Anthony Fauci, MD

    This thread is pointless. You're chastising people who disagree with you for being "closed-minded," and praising people who agree with you as "open-minded." You're obviously anti-vaccine and a...

    Take the Shutdown Skeptics Seriously

    I agree with the author for the most part. The frustrating part is how much we simply don't know and how there's no way to find out the answers without some trial and error, which involves loss of...

  9. At the large academic medical center where I have privileges, the OB team has divided into "squads" and are rotating in 2 week increments of clinic coverage vs. hospital
  10. And yet, Emergent---you once complained about mandates for hospitals to provide vegan meals for vegan patients as government overreach? Curious how this isn't inconsistent of you. For the record I...
  11. The beginning? I think that started quite some time ago, but I'm cynical. This crisis is definitely pushing humanity to multiple breaking

    Inconsistencies in SVEs

    Two things I have learned over time in OB: cervixes are dynamic, and the different sizes of different providers' hands will inevitably lead to some person-to-person discrepancies. Dilation is only...

    Mama RN Needs Advice on Childcare Options

    Do you live anywhere near a college campus? If so, you'd be surprised how easy it is to advertise and find sitters. If you can't find one who can work an irregular schedule (so hard, I've been...

    Famous person as patient?

    I took care of a famous actor's wife on postpartum many years ago, they were both delightful. Around the same time, we had a local news anchor deliver with us and she insisted on going by a pseudonym...

    Infected staff

    I definitely foresee class action lawsuits. I also hope to see massive changes in mindset about healthcare and how it's delivered in this country, but only time will tell about

    NP's how are you these days?

    I'm a CNM, not an NP, but I lurk here so I thought I'd chime in. I'm in TN, where there are 98 reported cases so far. No pregnant women have been infected that we know about, I believe a couple kids...

    Thieves! Stealing Supplies During COVID-19 Crisis

    Nurses being rated "most trusted profession" has always been pretty laughable to me, having worked in healthcare for almost 12 years now. I haven't lost hope but I've also never had some deep-rooted...

    Thieves! Stealing Supplies During COVID-19 Crisis

    I mean, I would? Employees are humans just like everyone else, and therefore prone to irrational fear, selfishness, ignorance. Should it be that way? No, of course not, but it's not in the least...

    FPA in Florida passed today!

    Same with CNMs. Still, they're telling us it's a good start and will help us pass a better bill in the

    Thieves! Stealing Supplies During COVID-19 Crisis

    Thank you for this. I was trying to find a way to come up with a coherent response to the utterly nonsensical fallacy of "this is not about politics," and just

    Should I still pursue CNM?

    If you only want to work in a clinic, it won't *hurt* you to become a CNM. It shouldn't make it harder to find a clinic job, that is. But if you're really certain it's not your jam, I'd honestly...

    A "real nurse" or school nurse

    Oh my!

    They locked up all the masks in security ?

    I'm guessing that's the reason as well. People are about to get end-of-days crazy about these
  24. One of the biggest red flags that stood out to me is the possibility of you writing notes for him. Did you ever clarify what that entails? Would he actually be signing his own name to your...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    Right, but just because YOU don't care doesn't mean that others don't. It doesn't take more than a few seconds to establish what someone wants to be
