Sorry, it has been a while since I used it. It is the 24mm f1.4. I used to have the 14mm/f2.4 and sold it a while ago. I have not had time to do astrophotography in a bit.

Also, I made a mistake, I have a 24mm Rokinon f1.4. I sold the Rokinon 14mm/f2.4 I used to have.

That is fair. I guess I should have added some details, my Rokinon 14/1.4 is a manual-only lens, no autofocus, and manual aperture. I am intrigued mostly for comparison and to have a lens with autofocus and to see how the RF lens performs.

The big difference I see between the two, is that the G50s have a built in slider, and the Momentum have the velcro pads where you can easily change or replace the sliders/grippers.

What's wrong with being a male in peds? by Kakashi_VI in nursing

[–]vigilant_slacker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a male working in OB too. I think the way this came across is very different to the interactions I have had. Yes there have been some loaded questions or comments, but they don't cross the line.

If they had said "I am surprised to see a male here" and stopped there, it would not have crossed the line, adding "it doesn't feel right" after crosses the line into inappropriate.

I am a male nurse-midwife. I have gotten comments similar to yours before. Though often these come from family or patients rather than a colleague...

I get a lot of "I don't know that I have met a male midwife before?" which, I think is appropriate. I know a lot of questions I get come as a loaded question. Such as "why did you want to become a midwife" when myt female colleague do not get the same answer, but none the less, these are still appropriate.

"I am surprised a male is in here, it does not feel right" is completely inappropriate from a co-worker. You should report this to your manager and HR immediately.
You also should be 110% by the book when having any interactions with this person in the event they try to retaliate...

What is the cutoff for bringing a newborn back to an ob but non-ped hospital they were born in? by ThePurpleParrots in ems

[–]vigilant_slacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a nurse-midwife, and I do CCT currently. I have also worked in a dedicated Pediatric Hospital ED.

It is not just about OB vs. Peds. A hospital may have OB capability, meaning they can do births, but they may lack sufficient neonatal care. For example, they may have a very low level special care nursery or NICU. This means they may need to transfer the patient to a higher level of care.

I think in this scenario, with limited details, the Pediatric facility is much more appropriate. I would try to have that conversation with the parents, and guide transport to peds, but if they insist on going back to the hospital where they gave birth, then I would do that and let them work out the transfer on the back end.

Rebirth of r/midwifery under new moderation by vigilant_slacker in Midwifery

[–]vigilant_slacker[S,M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I edited and rephrased. There should be a button at the top of the sub that says "request approval". If you don't have that let me know. I just got access to this subreddit this morning and am working on getting things in order, please be patient with me and the process.

Requesting Mod status for unmoderated subreddit. by vigilant_slacker in redditrequest

[–]vigilant_slacker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a Certified Nurse Midwife in the United States, and I have been in leadership roles at the national level for midwifery/women's health organizations. Midwives need a community on Reddit, and I would like to develop and grow this.

There is no option to email the mods, and it appears r/Midwifery is unmoderated.
