  1. Shoulder dystocia charting

    mitchsmom replied to Baby Catcher's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Do you mean for after McRoberts & suprapubic pressure - like for corkscrew & the other more invasive manuevers? Doesn't seem like it would help during the McRoberts/suprapubic steps. Or am...

    mitchsmom replied to ayndim's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    That looks great Andrea! More than I would have thought of :) I think the ACNM site lists whether they offer MSN or certificate/diploma, but it may be good to get a current answer anyway. Ok, I am...

  7. How many books do you have to buy?

    mitchsmom replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in General Students

    I have at least 11 books so far and that doesn't include little novels (at least 4 of those I can think of off the top of my head), or pocket guides that came with a couple of texts. That's for...

  14. Question on most comfortable shoes

    mitchsmom replied to RN123456789's topic in Ob/Gyn

    agree about the "kicking off" type fit for closed back danskos... I think they just added the back for people who can't wear clogs, and/or so that they won't come flying off if you have to run. I just...

    mitchsmom replied to ayndim's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Frontier and Stonybrook at the only two I have found that are truly distance. On the ACNM website others are listed as distance, but I think that just means they have distance elements, not that you...
