About rachingram1220

rachingram1220 has 6 years experience and specializes in Obstetrics, Labor and Delivery.

I graduated from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus College of Nursing in Dec. 2008, and was commissioned through NROTC as a Navy Nurse Corps Officer. I have since lived in San Diego CA and Naples Italy, experiencing all the Navy has to offer! I have been in high risk obstetrics and labor and delivery for my career and it's been exciting. I obtained my RNC-OB in November 2012. I'm currently getting out of the military in the Spring of 2015, and looking forward to what the future holds for myself, my husband and our 2 young daughters!

    Trust your exam and your nursing instinct! You are the patient's advocate, and you did exactly that. You advocated for her and her baby, and the results were a safe delivery. Exams are subjective, and...
