  1. What type of pain med in labor used?

    FrumDoula replied to Daynamyte's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is anyone using sterile water injections (known to be REALLY effective for back labor from an OP baby) or TENS? While I know these aren't medications per se, they can be very effective for pain...

  2. New LPN-can I go into L&D

    FrumDoula replied to montinurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Consider working as a doula for awhile .... doula training is fabulous, and you learn so much about normal labor and birth. (And many doulas learn a ton about high risk issues as well.) While you...

  3. California 30 Unit Option RN - anyone know about this?

    FrumDoula replied to FrumDoula's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, this isn't what it means, though this option is available, too. It's a completely separate program.

  4. California 30 Unit Option RN - anyone know about this?

    FrumDoula replied to FrumDoula's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't characterize California in that way. I think they're trying to address the very real nursing shortage. And if it's a toss up between being an LPN and an RN, I'll take the RN, thanks....

  5. pregnant and crna school?

    FrumDoula replied to rayraycrna2b's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have to second the poster who said to consider your kids. Though I am not a nurse-anesthetist, I am a mom, doula, lactation educator and student nurse. So take my opinion for what it is - simply...

  6. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    FrumDoula replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's an understatement! UCSF is so hard to get into you practically need a letter of recommendation from God Himself. And what a great school, too .... fabulous training ground. Congrats...

  7. Schwartznegger on Hannity and Combs tonight..

    FrumDoula replied to directcare4me's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We need to encourage more LVN's in CA to get their RN's, even if it's through the 30 unit option, which allows you to take some of the nursing courses, plus Micro and A&P and challenge the...

  8. Do you parents bring car seats in the hospital?

    FrumDoula replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's a generous gift, and it sure as heck beats out giving new mothers a bunch of formula packets!!!!!!!!!

  9. Thumb sucking adults

    FrumDoula replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is an article by Kathleen Dettwyler, a renowned anthropologist whose study is that of breastfeeding and the mother/baby dyad. Thumb sucking may well be cultural in origin, and rates in the US...
