  4. Where are the "normal" births?

    LoveANurse09 replied to what2donow's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think the biggest thing here is there is not ENOUGH research in this area. I'm not an L&D RN, but I 've read EFM has no greater effect on neonatal outcomes or Apgar scores than intermittent...

    LoveANurse09 replied to danceluver's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    LoveANurse09 replied to Nurse4life09's topic in Ob/Gyn

  9. VTACH

    LoveANurse09 replied to Suz_QRN's topic in Cardiac

    I think you did all the right things! you gave the Dr good info. I'm guessing the resp questions was related to her asthma/bronchitis. In my facility we cover k level up to 4.0. Cardiac pts can...

  10. Where are the "normal" births?

    LoveANurse09 replied to what2donow's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Armygirl- You said it all! Maybe an army of aspiring midwives like myself can revolt. I too agree, that women need to develop a voice and make their caregivers aware of their needs/wants, but like you...

    LoveANurse09 replied to breanne6887's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From what I've heard, getting NRP really isn't useful because if you don't use it there is no point. I am working towards becoming a doula and certified lactation

    LoveANurse09 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm currently reading Ina May's Guide to Childbirth and notice they recommend kissing through contractions to help progress labor. I'm guessing this helps with the release of oxytocin therefore...

  16. Kissing with contractions

    LoveANurse09 replied to LoveANurse09's topic in Ob/Gyn

  25. Can CNMs (and other APNs) still work as RNs?

    LoveANurse09 replied to BetterSafe's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM
