What does it take to become a Doula?

It takes a lot of patience and self motivation. A person can serve as a Doula without becoming certified, or she can get certified as a Doula which gives her more credibility.

To become certified, the doula is required to read about 5 books and to take an approved Doula training course which is usually 3 days long, 8-9 hours a day. The doula is required to take a breastfeeding support class, attend three live births (only one of which can be a C-section); in addition, there are requirements such as the doula's support must begin at or before four centimeters dilation, the doula must get evaluations from at least three clients, and the client's midwife, or the client's doctor and nurse (so three from each birth for which the client employs an obstetrician, two for each birth for which the client uses a midwife). Writing several essays is required as well.

Everything must be documented on forms from the certifying organization, and the doula must be a member of that certifying organization. The most widely accepted organization is DONA. (Doulas of North America) International. It would be wise to check out their website for more information on, and complete requirements for, becoming a doula.

Once the doula has completed all requirements, and depending on the certifying organization, she will have credentials that she may use after her name. For example, a doula certified through DONA International uses the abbreviation CD(DONA) after her name. The doula may also become listed on the certifying organization's website so potential clients can find her.

Other than the classes, reading, and paperwork, it takes a lot of time, dedication & patience. You have to be a nurturing person who doesn't mind getting down in the muck of things and be willing to put out a lot of physical labor for a long period of time. Unlike a nurse, a doula does not get to leave at the end of a shift. You are there for the duration, as well as a few hours afterwards...the first birth that I attended I was present, awake, and alert with the mother and her partner for 27 hours straight with no food breaks and only 3 bathroom breaks.....so this is not something for the light-hearted nor is it for someone who easily gets bored.

Can you have your tubes tied directly after childbirth and can your midwife do this if you're having a home birth and is it safe after a 5th birth?

Hi. Yes you can have your tubes tied right after childbirth. Your midwife can not do this. You will have to go to the hospital to have it done. Do not let this keep you from having a homebirth. If you want a homebirth then go for it. You can get your tubes tied a few weeks later when you are ready. There will really be no difference excapt you will have the birth you want. Your midwife should be happy to discuss this with you and might be able to refure you to a good doctor. There is no reason you can not have them tied after 5 children. Good luck and feel blessed with your 5 loves. :)

What are institutionalized work patterns?

Institutionalized work patterns Formal work patterns are generally understood to be systems of coordinated and controlled activities that arise when work is embedded in complex networks of technical relations and boundary-spanning exchanges. But in modern societies formal organizational structures arise in highly institutionalized contexts. Professions, policies, and programs are created along with the products and services that they are understood to produce rationally. This permits many new organizations to spring up and forces existing ones to incorporate new practices and procedures. That is, organizations are driven to incorporate the practices and procedures defined by prevailing rationalized concepts of organizational work and institutionalized in society. Organizations that do so increase their legitimacy and their survival prospects, independent of the immediate efficacy of the acquired practices and procedures. Institutionalized products, services, techniques, policies, and programs function as powerful myths, and many organizations adopt them ceremonially In modern societies, the elements of rationalized formal structure are deeply ingrained in, and reflect, widespread understandings of social reality. Many of the positions, policies, programs, and procedures of modern organizations are enforced by public opinion, by the views of important constituents, by knowledge legitimated through the educational system, by social prestige, by the laws, and by the definitions of negligence and prudence used by the courts. Such elements of formal structure are manifestations of powerful institutional rules which function as highly rationalized myths that are binding on particular organizations Regards Abbod

Are there any websites that can help you learn how to shoot a basketball correctly?

Just remember this: there is no correct way to shoot a basketball. Anyway that you can shoot is correct. There are no specific websites. There are some videos that you can buy that can help you learn how to shoot better, but no specific website. I am a basketball player and I get help with my shooting touch by looking on youtube. Type in a good shooter's name or someone who shoots vaguely similar to you. Look at their shot, pause the video if you need to, and study how they shoot it. Some great examples of excellent shooters are Peja Stojakovic, J.J. Redick, Ray Allen, and Reggie Miller. Remember, it all depends on how you shoot originally. Good place to get some great tips is on YouTube just search "tips on shooting a basketball"

you can only learn it by practicing it more and more.

How long does it take to become a cruise consultant?

There are two different types of 'cruise consultants'. One deals with booking customers on their vacation (aka: Travel Agent) and the other is onboard the cruise ships dealing with future cruises and 'port talks' about the various ports of call, history, sight-seeing and of course... shopping! To become a travel agent, you must first become licensed and have a valid IATA card issued. This is your key to getting the commissions that end up being your bread and butter! Next, you'll want to pair up with someone who's already familiar with the cruise industry, the various companies and ships so you can better educate your customers on them. If you live in a port city, you may also consider connecting with regional managers for the cruise companies to get tours oboard the vessels as they come through so you can become extremely familiar with the product. You should expect to take several months to learn the product very well before you can go independent. As far as onboard cruise consultants, these positions are generally easy to land if you speak perfect English and have a passion for providing excellent customer service. From the future cruise booking end, you'll find a captive audience of cruisers that can't wait to book their next cruise vacation right onboard during their current cruise. Because they won't be able to beat the deal they're offered onboard, it's a very easy sell. As far as the port & shopping guide aspect of this position, it's very easy if you get out there and explore the ports of call and develop relationships with the various vendors in each. Learn the 'hidden treasures' of each port, learn how to bargain shop, where the best quality food and merchandise is - and be prepared to reccommend them to the guests onboard. This position is extremely easy to catch on, and the right kind of person can make thousand of dollars in commissions for their work.

At what age can a horse start training?

Most horses that are responsibly trained by responsible owners begin training as two or three year olds. The racehorse industry is very irresponsible. Horses are backed (saddled and taught to carry weight) as yearlings and raced as two-year-olds. The strain caused by working this hard before their full strength causes most racehorses to wear up and die around age 15 (compared to 30 for a well-looked-after horse.) Responsibly-trained horses are backed as two-year-olds, ridden lightly as three-year-olds, and begin a training schedule aged 2 or 3.
