All of us work intensely with each other in L&D, and it is risky for us and for our patients if we act or influence patient care relying on emotional or personal trust of each other as individuals. Then what happens if there is a mis-communication? It gets all balled up in interpersonal ways that can be hurtful or wasteful of valuable time and energy. To focus on the interest of a GROUP of clients with different managing providers is a complex task, and we (MDs and CNMs) have to support the charge nurses' efforts to do the best they can in this.

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.
