Patient CareFrom: Dr. Ainsworth (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Tue Mar 30 10:43:04 2004
My wife is recent BSN grad and passed her RN licensing exam a couple of weeks ago. She is interested in working part-time in the OB unit at the hospital I work at and they are interested in having her work there because of staffing shortages and the need for qualified individuals to call in, she has previous experience in L&D, postpartum as a LVN. The Department manager told her that they would need to restrict her from caring for any of my patients in the hospital because of liability concerns. When we first heard that, we said, sounds reasonable. However, as we have thought about it, it could be a real problem because I deliver about 1/3 of the babies in our unit, plus a lot of the gyn postop patients on the floor are my patients. There are times when I have over half of the patients on the floor. Have any of you who are RN/MD marriages run into similar restrictions in your hospitals? Is it reasonable? Is it necessary?

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.
