Re: [ozmidwifery] Uniting midwives & midwifery students

[Geoff & Louise Wightman]

My biggest concern is that the postnatal area seems to be fair game as an 
area for RN's to move into as it would seem the value of a midwife in the 
eyes of management only extends to birth suite. Should we not ask the 
general public to consider this issue? Who would they like to give them the 
best care a midwife or an RN that has had a quick orientation to the 
postanatal area? Without public support, midwives will be fighting a losing 
battle as economics takes over.

I thought RN's couldn't work on labour ward because of insurance?
At KEMH even agency midwives (excluding Nurse West) cannot work on labour
ward because the insurance does not cover them.
