    CEG replied to xxhoops7609's topic in Government, Military

    really.not.true. There are no women in the infantry but there are female mps, signaleers, engineers, artillary, etc and they are far from offices. There aren't so many jobs these days that are...

  3. bad credit and military nusing?

    CEG replied to mom2three3's topic in Government, Military

    It's not so much that the military cares about your credit history. It's something they look at when processing a security clearance. Because bad debt can make you susceptible to blackmail, or so I...

  4. Needing some advice and opinions... kinda down:(

    CEG replied to mom2three3's topic in Government, Military

    Are you calculating BAH and BAS along with other allowances when you figure the big pay cut? I haven't done the math but I know when my husband and I were both Lts we made around 130K a year and that...

  5. Toradol? Do you give it to breastfeeding moms?

    CEG replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    PDR is not an accurate source for breastfeeding info. PDR info comes from the manufacturer. Breastfeeding info should come from another source- LACTMED or Hale are considered

  6. Natural or Directed pushing

    CEG replied to Bazooka's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The literature is very clear: directed pushing is bad for mom and baby. It results in worse cord pH, lower APGARS, more fetal distress, increased fetal distress, increased perineal injury... and it...

  7. Adoptive mom brings in pumped breastmilk to feed baby: what are your thoughts?

    CEG replied to redbeads's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In the several states I have worked in, HIV testing is opt out, meaning that written consent is not required, only refusal. However, HIV testing for the newborn was required if mom was not tested....

  8. Complicated situation, is this possible?

    CEG replied to Vanillanut's topic in Government, Military

    I don't know if anything has changed, but 8 years ago you did have to give up dual citizenship if you were an officer. I had a couple of friends who had to surrender their second passports. This may...

  9. Torn about breastfeeding

    CEG replied to krenee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really can't add much to Klone's fabulous post! But re: breastfed babies getting jaundiced more often. Remember that while we see formula as the magic cure, in fact formula is constipating and may...

    CEG replied to Hungry4Success's topic in Government, Military

    My experience was with Army not AF, but when I got my ROTC commission I made a list, just like you do for you recruitment packet. I got my first choice as did most of my peers. I don't know why you...

  11. Bicitra in labor?

    CEG replied to CEG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the input! I had never heard of this before and wanted a sanity check before I start questioning

  12. ROTC vs Cot

    CEG replied to Hungry4Success's topic in Government, Military

    I should add I did Army ROTC for my undergrad degree and short of failing out of school or ROTC, I knew the first day I walked into class that I had a job when I graduated. I had a couple of friends...

  13. ROTC vs Cot

    CEG replied to Hungry4Success's topic in Government, Military

    ROTC would pay for your schooling, give you a stipend, and virtually guarantee you a commission. COT (As far as I understand it which is not a lot) would depend on what recruiting was like when you...

  14. How does a UK nurse/midwife become a CNM in US?

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

    CEG replied to jennf83's topic in Ob/Gyn

    New NICHD terminology has clarified the definitions and changed some of this. There are no longer variables with a late component. Here is a brief snippet from:...

  16. Will you give terbutaline to vaginal bleeding pt?

    CEG replied to Jiayou's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have never heard of not giving terb to pts with lady partsl bleeding. But in any case I am not sure why the doctor would "blame" you. He gave you an order to hold the med. Does he want you to...

  17. L&D experience and employability

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

    I have a very short time (around a year) as an LDRP nurse. I have several good friends with no OB experience at all who are CNMs. There are some people out there who believe L&D experience is...

  18. UK RN/RM work as a CNM in USA?

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

    Unfortunately you have to have a Master's degree in nursing and sit for the national certification board to practice as a CNM. I don't know how you could translate it to a CPM or CM credential. I...

  19. military and private nursing liability insurance

    CEG replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    You don't need it, you're covered by the federal government. It would be a waste of your money that you would never

  20. Nurses role if Dr is not giving all options (VBAC specifically)

    CEG replied to maiday's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Except that the AMA, ACOG, the AHA, state hospital associations, individuals and lawmakers are doing all they can to keep that option from women. Women are forced to do that illegally, pay out of...

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

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

    Thanks for those links! Guess I will just have to hope I don't get sued- as am working as an RN, working as a CNM, and teaching BSN students.

  22. Army PFT ???

    CEG replied to hopeful_army_NP's topic in Government, Military

    The section of the PFT manual (which they will read to you before every test), says "Although walking is authorized, it is strongly discouraged." It goes on to say that the disqualifiers are being...

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

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

    I'm curious if you have a source or something for this? I ask because it applies to me in my current situation:) It doesn't seem right to me- what circumstance would there be where I would have been...

  24. silly ?--anyone else hate calling L&D "the baby factory"

    CEG replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can't find the yeah, that smilie, but yeah, that!

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

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

    I currently do both. As far as I know there is no issue as long as you practice within your scope at each job (i.e. don't diagnose patients at your RN job). One thing to check on is whether your...
