  1. Why isn't there's a Men's Health NP specialty

    epiphany replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! - The job required skill and attention; Nathaniel Highmore noted in 1660 that it was difficult to learn to produce orgasm by vulvular massage. He said that the technique "is not unlike...

  3. Unassisted birth on GMA this morning!?

    epiphany replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I can't help but notice that you have generalized that women who don't put their babies on their bellies love them less than those who do. I don't know which side of the issue you're on, but its...

  4. Why isn't there's a Men's Health NP specialty

    epiphany replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I would venture to guess that it's not profitable (unless it's a specialty like urology) to specialize in Men's Health when you can lump that with Family Practice. Obstetrics/Gynecology on the...

  6. Medical assistant with a problem

    epiphany replied to airforcewife2000's topic in General Nursing

    That's awful - I'm so sorry. But I don't think it's that unusual, nor does it have anything to do with your performance. The fact that it happened so soon at work is making you doubt yourself,...

  8. Unassisted birth on GMA this morning!?

    epiphany replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4179/is_20000122/ai_n11740895 Take a look at this incident in the hospital right across the street from me in 2000. At first glance, you may think this has...

  9. Unassisted birth on GMA this morning!?

    epiphany replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    And yet intelligent women are making the choice NOT to. I spent the rest of my life after my birth wishing that I could have had the knowledge and the guts. The chances of something happening is...

  12. Would I enjoy being a CNM?

    epiphany replied to FINDURPASSION's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Listen to the comments with a critical mind about where it's coming from. I think the best advice you can get is from a midwife, someone who actually knows what the job is like. I've been on this...

  13. How Many C-Sections are Safe?

    epiphany replied to Nicky30's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You have to ask yourself what they mean by safe. Usually they are talking about uterine rupture & adhesions. The more c/s's the higher the risk of either. When we do a c/s of a women with a...

  14. "Tossing" fetal monitor strips

    epiphany replied to lapink55's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, there are exceptions and no guarantees. But studies show that for the most part, a good strip is reassuring. That's the clinical guideline. I'm not surprised that some nurses might have a...

  15. "Tossing" fetal monitor strips

    epiphany replied to lapink55's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I always thought different. A bad strip doesn't always equal a bad baby, but a good strip reassuring of a good baby. That's what I've always learnt in school and

  16. UCSF CNM program

    epiphany replied to fbee's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm curious to know if you speak Spanish. Now this is just my experience, so take it for what it is, but when I talked to them a couple of years ago, they wanted to know if I spoke Spanish, and when...

  24. Will I EVER be a CNM?

    epiphany replied to dinah77's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    So glad you said that. It is not for the faint hearted. But you are the guardian of the birthing mother - there is nothing more insane than that - especially in the United

  25. Will I EVER be a CNM?

    epiphany replied to dinah77's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    One way that works for me is try to take it a day at a time. Think about the process, and not about the goal. It's like the prize after all the sweat, blood and tears. I'm not there yet, so it's...
