Patience is a big quality, a caring heart, a love for working closely
with families. Why do nurses leave the area? For me it was simply the
hours. My kids are now in school, 12 hour shifts do not jive well with
school hours. For me the feeling of being in the delivery room after
having worked all day with a laboring mom and to be honored to be
present for this event was so awesome. Labor and Delivery is usually a
happy place, but sometimes it is sad. In those cases of pregnancy loss
I always wonder why I "got stuck with those patients" It was not until
recently that I learned that the reason I ended up with those patients
is because I had something to offer, a kind word, a hug, a shared
tear...

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.
