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

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 mat...

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

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 d...

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 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...

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

We only have 5 birthing rooms and 3 other PP rooms for scheduled c/s and unscheduled also. We have to double up in some of our bigger rooms and use or antepartum room for NST. we don't have a triage room, our birthing rooms are used for that. We also...

I've subscribed to MCN "The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing" I like it alot

We also have a policy that out "little" snack area is for patients only, visitors can help themselves to coffee,tea or water. I may give some crackers or jello to siblings, or some food to the FOB, but that's it. You have to be firm and stand your g...

We also have a policy that our "little" snack food area is for patients, some of the nurses allow the FOB to help themselves, but that's it, maybe a cracker for a sibling also. Have to be firm and stand your ground, same policies for everyone. We ar...

Well, I took the job and start August 6th, still no advice from anyone out there? Help....

Hi all I'm a nurse on the OB unit and interviewed yesterday for a clinic orthopedic nurse position. It's sound like an awesome job, any other clinic orthopedic nurses out there to talk to?

I would have done the exact same thing. We have a small hospital and only 3 ob/gyn docs. We all know them very well, I would of called any of them if they were on call. You did the right thing considering the info you got from the ER doc.

I became a OB nurse after having my four kids, I think it would be a wonderful experience to go through labor with everyone I work with now. I would know more what to expect out of people and I know their personalities better.

I love it, I had to print it out and bring it to work...

I live in a small town in the UP of MI. The youngest patient I've had in labor in 17, and I thought that was young, I even think 20 is young. It is common for kids to marry young around here and have 10-20 kids, we have patients that come see us ever...
