please have some respect and if you give an answer actually give an answer. It is very unhelpful to me when people answer with disrespect and question my motives. I thank everyone who answered honestly I did find my answer it is out there.

"If you need to know this for yourself you should be calling your OB/GYN and if you are asking for your patients then why not be asking the docs you are working for???????????? You owe it them to give them an accurate answer--one from a physician not from a nurse who may or may not know for sure and isn't legally allowed to diagnose." I am a CNA and starting nursing student. This question was for women who have asked me (not in a physicians office, nor any type of medical atmosphere). The more i researched it and pondered the question, it seemed the less I found. So I decided to post the question here to see if a nurse would know. No need to freak out!!! I am not illegally diagnosing people! I am new to allnurses.com and I suppose a question like this is not exactly accepted because it sounds personal? idk

"Per TOS, we cannot offer medical advice." this is not medical advice it is a question i needed an answer to bc of women asking it all of the time. and i did not know the answers. for this field I think i should. Daisees: thank you! i didnt think it could because they would be associating with 2 different areas of the system. thanks

i have been looking online and cant find an answer. others are wondering the same thing. If you have a UTI, will and can it interfere with your period? can it cause it to be late, or not there? thanks!!

i have never heard of an ob tech but i will look into it thanks a lot!

thanks im new at this and i still have trouble with it. im not even sure how to put it there

i am planning on becoming an RN. I really hope to work in the labor and delivery unit. I would like to know what all of my options are before i do this. I would like to work with women before and after birth. I know there are labor and delivery nurses, doulas, midwifes, ob's, and fertility specialists but is that all? what could i do that wouldnt take any more than 2-4 years? thanks also, i am currently a CNA could i volunteer at a women's clinic or work anywhere to help this future career?

I dont know if this would be considered underpaid or not, but i just had a job offer as a CNA for a 2-10pm shift that wants to pay $9 an hr. (in a nursing home) I just had to quit a job that paid 5 cents more than that delevering food. And i worked as a CNA elsewhere (also nursing home) where i worked a 6-2pm shift making 50 cents more. this doesnt make sense to me. I have another job interview as a hha. It sounds promising but i have not done work as an hha before and i think since they are not certified wouldnt they get paid less? thanks for reading my question.

i have just started out as a CNA. I worked in a nursing home for a little over a month and it was tougher than i expected, not bc of the work but bc of the staff. the nurses were so impatient with me, they wanted me to already know everything and the other CNA i worked with, couldn't even look me in the eye and talk to me, therefore he never gave me information on the patients. I also had to work a lot more than i wanted to. my last week of work there i put in a 70 hour week. I dont mean to complain, but I really wanted to be a CNA through school, but if I have to do this through school, I feel like I would have to fail at one of the two. My question is where are other places I could look into working as a CNA (that might also pay well)? Also, if I did in home private pay, what would be a good rate to accept or ask for? thanks!
