    there are so many things in this story that bother me.....sorry if this has already been posted. (from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel) Unlicensed woman given 6-month term as part of sentence Waukesha...
  2. we're pregnant

    When my first baby was very new, my mother-in-law made a comment about how it was exciting that my husband was "babysitting." had to let her have it for that one!
  3. Have you had a baby at your hospital??

    I had my last baby at the hospital where I worked at the time, and it was awesome because I loved my midwife and it was nice to be surrounded by and be taken care of by my friends while I was there,...
  4. They did a c-section without anesthesia

  6. I need some advice about L & D

    this seems to happen a lot where I work also. We do get RN's from other floors but most of them that I've talked to say that they had applied several times to transfer and kind of had a hard time....
  7. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    This is how it is where I work too. I had no idea OB docs did stuff with epidurals at other places. THAT would be
  8. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    Well, I think I addressed most of these questions in my earlier posts, but I will try to clear things up. The pt had an labor epidural which was working fine, strip looked good, but she suddenly...
  9. They did a c-section without anesthesia

  12. Scary new OB manager

    thanks so much for all your replies! I've sort of had it in the back of my mind that maybe I should start looking elsewhere, but I just don't feel like I should have to since she is clearly the one in...

  17. Moms who want to feel absolutely NO pain

    maybe I missed it, but I did not get that from ANY of the posts
  18. Should I give L & D 1 year?

    :icon_hug: I have been doing L&D for about 18 months now, and I think when I had been there about a year is when I started feeling fairly comfortable. not overly confident, mind you, but not...
