Re: RN seeking experience in birth center/home birth setting

I have spoken to the midwife and the problem is that she is the only person in the area doing home/natural births. I also need a paycheck :( I think the doula idea is a great one, though, but a few people I talked to said that since i'm an RN to not worry about getting certified as a doula. My best...

Re: direct-entry programs

hmmmmm. . . .Sherry, do you have any evidence for your dramatic assertions? It's easy when you're entering a small, marginalized profession to perceive that there are conspiracies and dangers around every corner but, really, "chomping at the bit to squash us", "what a blow"...

Re: carpal tunnel

I've been waiting for someone to ask. It's a picture I took of two carrots that are "spooning". I thought it was so beautiful. Bought them at an organic farmer's market and came home and photographed the way they were wrapped around each other like a mom/baby. I didn't have...

Re: Who's attending the 3/09 MT Conference?

I'm going to be teaching an all day workshop on Wed with Ina May Gaskin and Gail Hart----I'm so excited and inspired. I'll definitely be a student that day, too, because I always learn so much whenever I am with those two women. I started a group on Facebook called "See You at The Midwifery...

Re: Dear Pres. Obama---want to save millions in obstetrics?

I'm a bit wary of "midwifery model of care" these days because it can mean midwives getting absorbed by the medical system and practising exactly the same way as the drs. I would like to see registered midwives in my province (BC, Canada) doing my four suggestions above. Unfortunately,...
