Forget it....I found it! Sorry!!!!

Thanks, Question, is the candidate guide what they send you when you apply? Or is it something you can get online? I do have that book. Thanks again

Hi all, I've been an OB/nursery nurse for almost 10 years, almost all of my nursing career.... I want to take the test to become certified in Inpatient Obstetrics, and I'm looking for suggestions for material to study. I have "core curriculum for maternal-newborn nursing" and "williams obstetrics" books. I have looked on the website and noticed there are 4 different tests to take.......I guess I'm a little confused. Is it four different tests or all in one? it says "inpatient Obstetric nursing", "neonatal Intensive care nursing", "low risk neonatal nursing", and "maternal Newborn nursing" So, I guess my question is.....one test on all? And what are some good books to study from? thanks Nanci

I will be the first in my hospital! I'm not sure how much I make, I'm hoping it's more than I make as a RN. I'm building a clientle being a student. I already have my name out there and have helped some mothers. WORD OF MOUTH I say!

I'm not sure how much they make, but I know is in comparison with what nurses make, but a little more. Are you thinking of taking a course?

We currently don't have any LC in our area. I'm taking a course to become an IBCLC, and I will be the first like I said. My question is how do I go about working that into my current position as an LD, nursery nurse? My boss isn't sure what we will do either since I will be the first. I think she still wants me to contiune working on the floor as staff...which wouldn't be so bad, but that is less time for LC stuff. There are alot of women out there that will need my help, and like other people have stated, it's very time consuming. If I could just focus on the breastfeeding part, I think our success rate for women who strictly breastfeed and continue to do so after they leave the hospital will rise.

HI Mitchsmom, My nanci and I'm taking a course to become an IBCLC. I'm right now in the process of developing a history form and was wondering about any websites that you knew of. I tried that aol one and couldn't pull it up. thanks

I am taking a course to become certified and need to develop a history form...any ideas out there???

hi, we only have dieticians that talk to the nursing mothers right now. but, i'm in the process of taking the course to become an ibclc...the closest one is 2 hours away. i will be the first in our little hospital. breastfeeding is big here, and i hope i can make a difference when i'm through. nanci

HI all, I just recieved my student guide for the course for IBCLC. I'm very excited about doing this. I will be the first one in my community. THe closest one is 2 hours away. I'm just concerned about getting the hours in I need (4000). I do work as an RN in the OB department, so that will help, but what else? Thank-you

Thank you very much for responding. I will look that book up.

HI all, I wasn't sure where to post this, but I'm looking for a good cultural book related to ob. Like their beliefs for after the birth, during labor and things like that. Could someone recommend a good,not expensive book for me please? thank you

Either a mother/baby nurse or a nursey nurse.

Just a thought, but you could be with a midwife in a birthing center that was attached to a hospital, that's what I would do.....

you for sure the big prize
