  1. Myths About Midwifery

    DWelly14 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Proud graduate of Georgetown's midwifery program here! My father-in-law constantly has to tell people I do not practice witchcraft professionally when he tells them I'm a midwife. It's so crazy. We...

  2. Who worked New Years? How was your shift?

    DWelly14 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    Labor & delivery nurse here! I worked new years! Helped deliver the first baby of the new year in my state. Then had to do a D&C for a retained placenta. Then helped with another delivery....

  3. Suspended without pay for expired TB requirement?

    DWelly14 replied to lsvalliant's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately it is on you, even though it totally does suck that the HR person lied. But get the PPD placed, get it read, and plan better for next year. At worst you should only be off a day or two...

    DWelly14 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

  7. L&D RN's opinions on doulas?

    DWelly14 replied to mskate's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not everywhere. I know where I work there is a vast array of doulas, from the ones that do have medical training and can be very helpful, to the ones that just decided they wanted to call themselves...

  8. Encouragement needed - Frustrated and insulted by hourly rates

    DWelly14 replied to kemansha1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you went into nursing for the money, you're in trouble. I've been a nurse for almost 6 years now and I think I make decent money, will finally be over $30/hr at the start of 2016 but I have a MSN...

  9. Am I On Camera? No Paparazzi Please!

    DWelly14 replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely think the nurse should be told if she is being filmed or not. Just because I'm doing my job doesn't revoke my right to say who can take my picture or record me. I work in OB and it is a...
