  1. Ketchikan

    babynurse2001 replied to Grapenut's topic in General Nursing

    babynurse2001 replied to fertile_myrtle's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  4. Frontier Clinicals..

    babynurse2001 replied to iloveginger's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    babynurse2001 replied to htrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow! We have a similar setup as you but not quite as busy (if we do over 30 in a month we almost keel over). It has been our long standing practice as a unit to regulate inductions to some degree....

    babynurse2001 replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn
