    Question!

    jenrninmi replied to middlek's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's how it is where I work. We have 2 grandfathered LPNs that work in m/b but we don't have or hire any LPNs for L&D. Both the lpn's USED to do l&d a long time ago

    It didn't seem to take long at all. The waiting list seems to go faster than the actual 2 years as some people decide they don't want to wait/don't pass some of the prereqs. He didn't sit for the...

    MI hospitals that don't hire LPNs?

    Ugh! Delivered Baby On My Own The Other Day...

    jenrninmi replied to jenrninmi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with this. If the resident would have let the patient give some trial pushes, this wouldn't have happened. She would have delivered. The resident was tired (around 0300). I've had...
