I thought this was about nurses preferring that OBs order prophylaxis, and even that bothers me-and the nurses who call over the head of the CNM and get the on-call OB to order it-absolutely not kosher. I'm just trying to point out the nurses' dilemna when mom doesn't get it and baby gets jabbed everywhere.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
