    Just Say “YES” to Nurse Staffing Laws

    LibraSunCNM replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    So just to be clear---your argument is that all nurses should make the same life choices as you, and remain single and childless. This way, everyone has the option to pick up and move if they don't...

    CST drew up and administered medication....and it was wrong amount

    LibraSunCNM replied to Alyk3309's topic in General Nursing

    This. I've never heard of such wildly inappropriate delegation in this setting

    CNM Salaries

    LibraSunCNM replied to DreamerCNM2b's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Ah, gotcha. If you want to be in NYC, definitely give it a try! It's just a tough market for new grads, given that there are 3 different midwifery programs in the city graduating about 10-20...

    CNM Salaries

    LibraSunCNM replied to DreamerCNM2b's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I worked at one of the public hospitals---look at https://www.nychealthandhospitals.org They mostly all have midwifery services that have schedules like I describe. It is competitive to get a job...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This is the oddest hill to die on. I really truly don't get the big deal

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I am a CNM and had a patient on the keto diet who wanted to skip her screening for gestational diabetes at 28 weeks because, per her report, there was no way her body would be able to process all that...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, but in this case, how is that harming anyone? What's the downside to offering vegan meals in a

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely don't assume vegetarians/vegans are healthy, I roomed with a vegan in college who was morbidly obese from all the french fries, potato chips, and eggplant fried in inches of oil she...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That's just my experience with people who do it (and of course I'm being a little hyperbolic)---totally not knocking the diet

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Why, because people disagree with you? Why be so

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That my question as well. How is adding an option equal to favoring and endorsing said option? How is it different from offering kosher or halal

    I hope this passes in NJ

    LibraSunCNM replied to palli's topic in School

    I used to live in NJ and am myself somewhat "crunchy" but staunchly pro-vax. In my experience, the anti-vaxxers were an odd melange of religious right-wing evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jewish...

    If your teacher says you should go home, you're probably ok to stay

    LibraSunCNM replied to nursex23's topic in School

    OMG this literally made me LOL to the point of tears. "Lick the nearest doorknob" is so true! My mom was an elementary school teacher and is definitely the opposite of a germaphobe...like probably...

    Random tests?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    What are you actually expecting us to say? Yes, a positive drug test will affect your nursing license, no matter what the marijuana laws are in your state. You can't possibly think that taking...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That is definitely true, no matter what diet you're on! I also agree with the story above of the ridiculous choices currently offered in some hospitals, like fried chicken to a cardiac patient. An...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think for this situation to be the actual can of worms you describe, most vegans would have to be ridiculously unrealistic and rigid, which in my experience, they

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that I can understand ? I hear that complaint about vegans a lot but in my experience, the vegans I've know have been actually pretty quiet about it. Keto on the other hand...haha. I don't...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Meh, I think that's a stretch. Is the global/environmental impact of eating animal products being talked about a lot more, as the effects of climate change become more and more real? Yes. Do I...

    CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    LibraSunCNM replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    But do you really feel the current state of anesthesia is unsafe, despite the evidence to the contrary? Or are you just supporting the pushback against independent practice for rhetoric's sake,...

    The Stigma of Men in Nursing
