  4. Negotiating a New Job While Pregnant

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

  9. Lotus Birth...What do yall think about this?

    Q. replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    But if the blood transfer is completed, doesn't that defeat the argument for lotus births, which I thought was to continue with the blood transfer even after

  10. Lotus Birth...What do yall think about this?

    Q. replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your post made me giggle. BTW, off topic; the log cabin in Vermont catching frogs and climbing trees sounds wonderful - the kind of childhood I hope my kids will have. I always wanted a backyard...

  11. Lotus Birth...What do yall think about this?

    Q. replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Right - they are counted when the cord is cut. So again, how would we accomplish this if we do not cut the cord? Again, do you know of any contraindications to a lotus birth for specific...

  16. When circ's go bad...

    Q. replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, it seems that you "automatically assumed" that she assumed it was worthless. She never once stated that. I think you need to go back and re-read her

  17. Getting pulled to other areas

    Q. replied to tryingtomakeit's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have never been pulled into a med/surg area from L&D. The rationale for this at our hospital was because we couldn't pull from med/surg FOR L&D - thus, we were on our own. If you are the...

  18. Lotus Birth...What do yall think about this?

    Q. replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  22. How to deal with being childless in L&D

    Q. replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Q. replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  24. Lotus Birth...What do yall think about this?

    Q. replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Q. replied to spazbeanie's topic in School, College Programs
