  1. Don't Rough My Newborn Up!!!!!!!

    CEG replied to capribry's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, if they are being breastfed there's a good chance the parents didn't want them to have pacis. Although why healthy babies are in a nursery I don't

  2. Exercize while pregenant

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

  3. cloth vs disposable diapers

    CEG replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have motherease that I used with my DD and I liked them pretty well. They didn't leak and they really helped with her diaper rash (she used disposables in day care). I also had some AIO's that I...

  4. questions to midwives

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

    I am a student nurse who sill someday be a midwife, but here is what I know. I am in a direct entry program. The master's programs at my school are set up so that you can work while you go to school....

  5. Exercize while pregenant

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

    The laying on your back thing- it's said that the weight of the pregnant uterus compresses something- maybe the inferior vena cava, I can't remember, and impedes blood flow. Or maybe it's the arota, I...

  6. Exercize while pregenant

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

    I am a nursing student, not a midwife yet, but during my pregnncies I was told I could exercise, to do whatever was comfortable. I ran, lifted light weights, swam, and did pilates. The things to...

  7. Shortest Direct-Entry Masters program?

    CEG replied to sunnyjohn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just wanted to add that if you plan on the Army (and I am assuming other branches) a BSN is required. They wouldn't commission you as a nurse with an ADN and I am not sure what they would do with...

  8. Doula

    CEG replied to Toothbrushx2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hmmm yeah. I am working on my cetification through DONA. I am pretty sure you lose your certification if you are practicing outside the scope of a doula when you are working as a doula, whether you...

  9. Doula

    CEG replied to Toothbrushx2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This sounds great. For the people in need of a doula, is it a volunteer program? I would like to try to set up a program like that at our county hospital when I do my leadership clinical there. I...

  10. Did you go straight through?

    CEG replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am in a graduate entry program right now. I plan to take about 5 years to finish my master's before I start to practice as a CNM. So I will have 5 years experience. For me personally, I cannot...

  11. it sounds weird

    CEG replied to chizzy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, I meant follicular phase. Nursing school brain

  12. it sounds weird

    CEG replied to chizzy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I *believe* if you have a really short luteal phase (before egg) it is possible to ovulate while you are still bleeeding/spotting. Some women spot around ovulation time so that should not be...

  13. Drying up Breastmilk

    CEG replied to Justhere's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't realize they still did anything to dry up breastmilk. I know a lady who had her babies in the early eighties. She was breastfeeding and that was very rare, at least where she delivered....

  14. Teeny Tiny L&D Units

    CEG replied to LizzyL&DRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not a nurse yet but I thought I would add my .02 that the job sounds really interesting for someone with experience. It sounds like a great chance to really work with a patient and get to know...

  15. Is it true?!?! Say it aint so...

    CEG replied to lovingpecola's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My MW told me that when she was in school they practiced on each other and I was a little surprised, but I think I would be fine with it. After having two kids, I think most people have seen my...

  16. Mild p-e and CNMs... or high-risk OB?

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

    I'm just a student so this is not a professional opinion. But, if you are worried about questioning your midwives like I would be, you could say it in a non-confrontational kind of way. Like "Do you...

  17. drug screens on admission???

    CEG replied to Campnurse123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just curious, would insurance cover that? I sure would be mad if I didn't look "nice" and got stuck paying for a drug screen. Especially since those most likely to get screened (young, unmarried)...

  18. Vaginal breech

    CEG replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    But does it necessarily need to be "managed"? Like a PP said, there is "breech extraction" and breech birth. Why has breech birth become so rare? Is it just lack of

  19. Vaginal breech

    CEG replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What are the real concerns with breech? Is it cord compression or the baby getting stuck? Or is it cord compression if the baby gets stuck? Are there more birth injuries for babes with breech...

  20. midwifery interview coming up

    CEG replied to shhh's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am in a direct entry program so they were probably looking for slightly different stuff in my interview. I wore a snazzy black suit. I love that suit and I never get to wear it so there was no way...

  21. Pt refused to leave!

    CEG replied to tryingtomakeit's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Kind of a shame- you know she thinks the "mean" nurse said she wasn't in labor but the doctor saved the day when he came in:angryfire when you were actually doing her a favor. I would have to agree...

  22. Including resume in my application

    CEG replied to pp516's topic in Post Graduate Students

    LP is right, it's hard to comb through all the details and pick out the important ones. Just remember that the admissions committee is looking at hundreds of applications. If you send a two pager...

  23. For L&D RNs who are future CNMs: Coping with different model of care??

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

    I'd love your recommendations. Are they listed on the sticky thread? I am especially interested in the way the southern midwives practiced. It was really a way of life and a totally different...

  24. Happy and sad: Vent

    CEG replied to imenid37's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not a nurse yet, but what it boils down to is: a. You had no real choice in the matter, your boss made the decision b. Your boss felt you were more qualified for whatever reason There's no reason...

  25. For L&D RNs who are future CNMs: Coping with different model of care??

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

    I'm in a direct entry program right now so this is only my point of view from that perspective but I will share my plan. I will be doing my OB rotation wherever the school tells me to, but my last...
