But a view from the other side of the track (the nursing side). If a patient was admitted to the ER of ICU or CCU- one of the high risk OB nurses would be floated to the unit to monitor the patient and baby, while the CCU/ICU did their stuff. That made for 2 on 1 care, but in that hospital- it was cheaper than a law suit. Usually after a shift or two, the IC/CCU nurses would let us go back to our unit and just call us if there was something they didn't recognize.

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.
