    gypsyatheart replied to ravenwindrn's topic in Travel

    Yes, this is totally correct info. You will need to secure you own child care. This can be tricky, as I have found out...my advice...research the area you want to go to and check into child care...

  12. "Natural" birth

    gypsyatheart replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree, the thing that really makes my day is to have an actively laboring mom come in, say, 4-6 cms, or whatever, really into her labor, wanting to go natural. I love laboring w/my pt's. To me, this...

  17. Pt / Nurse Ratio - and things you like about post-partum

    gypsyatheart replied to BookishRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have to agree w/BetsRN on this one, but I think so would most true L&D nurses. L&D and PP are 2 completely different worlds. I personally just can not stand it when I have to do PP. At...

  18. "Natural" birth

    gypsyatheart replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, that makes sense. I'm in Southern Cali at the moment, coming off a contract soon, but don't want to leave this area yet....agency may be the way to go.
