  1. VBA2C w/ 1st at 25 weeks

    CEG replied to sharirobinson's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Have you tried finding a midwife? I know some that I have worked with will do VBA2C. www.acnm.org has a midwife finder. Good

  2. Coaching my daughter in childbirth

    CEG replied to mleern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would recommend that she stop watching those childbirth shows because they are unrealistic- it compresses hours into minutes. I also think they must have a 90% c-section rate. I am so tired of...

  3. Chaperone or not during exam

    CEG replied to masstudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

  4. Chaperone or not during exam

    CEG replied to masstudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First off, I am 27 years old and have 2 children so I have had a lot of different people "down there" and have never been close to the experience I had with this man. First I was told that I had...

  5. Increasing chance of OB hire

    CEG replied to AZmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, I am still a student but I can tell you what I am doing to try to get a L & D job. I am a doula, I am also working on Certified Lactation Educator from CAPPA. I am going to a neonatal...

  6. opinions about epidurals

    CEG replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ick, I had a nurse like that. "You don't have to be a hero you know" and "When do you want the meds?". Of course, I threw up all over her shoes a few hours later. OOOPS:rotfl: I felt just...

  7. Chaperone or not during exam

    CEG replied to masstudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have always found it creepy to have an extra person hanging around the room during a pelvic exam... But after one horrificly bad experience I only see females for my care so it's not an issue...

  8. Hispanic patients

    CEG replied to RNfromMS's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Like a PP said, watch out for translations. I studied French and for fun would plug things into translators to see what came out and easily 50% of things were wrong- words used out of context,...

  9. What Are Your Vital Sign Requirements For A Normal Newborn?

    CEG replied to obnursesteff's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a student still but as a mother I can say I would not be pleased with this. How on earth could you breastfeed you baby with someone doing vitals like that? And how about bonding time? The...

  10. Male Rn New Grad Seeks OB

    CEG replied to Annointed_RNStudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am still a student, but I would say apply wherever you want to. No one can discriminate on the basis of gender. Personally I prefer female care providers for my OB/GYN needs, and I only see...

  11. midwives and doulas

    CEG replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My MW was hospital was in a large practice that took call. When she was on call she stayed in the hospital and provided continuous support. The problem was that with several patients in labor she...

  12. International CN looking to get info on Hawaii

    CEG replied to shaft's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    There is a website called allnursingschools.com that lists just about every nursing school. There are also a lot of online CNM programs. Depending on her credentials she may be able to do one of...

  13. Pronunciation

    CEG replied to tinyscrafts's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm from the midwest- it's pop. When I moved to Georgia they would look at me crazy and ask me what kind of coke I wanted. (And then I would look at them crazy:) ) In Washington State I think...

  14. Newborn Nursery!

    CEG replied to MIA-RN1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Aaaack! When I had my last baby, my CNM wanted to get me the "good" room with the jacuzzi tub. The housekeeper was finishing up cleaning the tub. I watched her scrub and scrub and put in...

  15. Graduate Entry Nurse Midwives

    CEG replied to lindyhopper's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm at a pretty new program-only the second year. Last year's students are all planning on working, but at my program working is required- you have to have at least a year's experience to graduate....

  16. Graduate Entry Nurse Midwives

    CEG replied to lindyhopper's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I"m in my program now, I have two more semesters until N-CLEX. I plan to work in L & D as a nurse until I feel comfortable to work as a CNM. I will probably work full time on my Master's, but...

  17. Vendoyne policy question

    CEG replied to Altalorraine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't work in OB but the hospital where I work calls them SCD (sequential compression devices) "skids" too. I was hoping someone would post what they were

  18. where is a good online advanced stats?

    CEG replied to Gennaver's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Gen, I remember you from the old Direct entry programs thread, I hope all is well. I took some classes from Troy State University (alabama). I am not sure that they offer advanced stats but it...

  19. Any U Iowa MNHP applicants or students here?

    CEG replied to fairca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was going to apply last year. I ended up not applying because I got accepted somewhere else prior to my app there. I put in a lot of time talking to the admissions office there. They seems pretty...

  20. Can somebody please explain what happened in my clinicals yesterday? (Long)

    CEG replied to debrasDD99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a student also, so this is my guess. We do wound care as clean, not sterile, so maybe they looked at it as a wound, although it seems a little more involved than that. I don't know about the...

  21. Does your unit use spinals?

    CEG replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had intrathecals with both of my labors. They took the pain away completely for an hour or two, then it crept back in. I still had the urge to push and was able to walk/ move around. I had a lot...

  22. Lactation/Childbirth Educator& L&D Job

    CEG posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Once again I am drawing on your wisdom... I am a nursing student who will graduate next May and I was thinking of taking the CAPPA lactation and childbirth educator classes. I want to take them just...

  23. Two pregnancy-related questions

    CEG replied to NurseyTonyaLPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Also, if you read some of the crunchier childbirth books you will see the theory of reverse dilation a lot. Many advance the theory that under extreme stress a woman's body and hormones can actually...

  24. My first Birth, what should I bring

    CEG replied to sunnym's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I love the disposable undies. Am I a freak? I thought they were comfy. I told my DH I was taking some home. I also though of something else- she may want a maternity bikini or tank top in case she...

  25. Two pregnancy-related questions

    CEG replied to NurseyTonyaLPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can only speak from personal experience but I followed the Bradley diet fairly closely with my first (125+ grams of protein a day). My baby was 8'11". With my second baby I got a little lazy and...
