    To Vaccinate Or Not To Vaccinate, That Is The Question

    LibraSunCNM replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I had to look up ASIA, I've never heard of that. What I read said the average age of onset is 37 years old. Your concern is its effect in childhood vaccines, or some other type of vaccine? Of course...

    To Vaccinate Or Not To Vaccinate, That Is The Question

    LibraSunCNM replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What legit concerns do you have with vaccines that you think need to be investigated? Genuinely

    RN in Medical School -Should I keep this to myself?

    LibraSunCNM replied to RNthenDoc's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't necessarily bust into the unit on your first day and start singing to anyone who will listen that you are an RN, but I see no reason to actually keep it a secret. News will probably travel...

    Question About Sterility Related To Giving Injections

    To Vaccinate Or Not To Vaccinate, That Is The Question

    LibraSunCNM replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My fears are people who have drunk the pseudoscience Kool-Aid and don't vaccinate. I'd love to NOT go back to the days of kids dying of preventable illnesses and being deformed by

    Breastmilk Exposure in Eye

    LibraSunCNM replied to ilovenicu16's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would honestly try to relax. The chances of the mom having something unknown and infectious, let alone something you could contract through that splash, are so unbelievable small. I would...

    Working as a travel nurse in the US while being a permanent resident of another country?

    LibraSunCNM replied to lvng4themoment's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I would also encourage you to challenge your rigid ideas about midwifery, and what a "real" midwife is. What is "mainstream" midwifery? All midwives want to "help women along the way." Midwives...

    Classism in the Hospital-MD vs. RN

    LibraSunCNM replied to paramedic-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Things like that are absolutely part of negotiations in employment packages and are offered to lure practitioners to work at facilities. It's simple---MDs bring in revenue, nurses are an expense. Do...

    Outpatient Clinic vs. Bedside Nursing

    LibraSunCNM replied to Ruth725's topic in General Nursing

    A red flag for me is a new grad program that has you joining a float pool---unless I'm misunderstanding how you described it. New grads need the stability of a single unit, IMO. Between that...

    Is this a Med Error?

    LibraSunCNM replied to AllyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oddly enough, the computer system at the hospital where I first worked as a nurse scheduled anything ordered "TID" at 1000, 1400, and 1800 automatically. If it was meant to be q8h we had to change it...

    LibraSunCNM replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! That's so cool! I'm sorry that I am completely useless in terms of the answers you seek, but I wish you the best of luck. I'm a sentimental sap and love genealogy/family history

    How would you handle this ....

    LibraSunCNM replied to RUBICON's topic in General Nursing

    I think the key problem is that he never had a formal psych consult---he "refused" it. In my opinion, if a medical provider thinks a patient needs a psych consult, they can't then actually...

    How and why in the world do you put up with that? Genuinely asking out of concern, not trying to be snide. Hugs to you

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    LibraSunCNM replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're muddying multiple issues here. The first amendment means you can't get arrested or imprisoned for, say, posting a video saying Donald Trump is an idiot. It DOESN'T mean that a private...

    What is your "thing" and how do you deal with it?

    Well that is pushing ethical boundaries

    LibraSunCNM replied to K+MgSO4's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that's my point---we have no way of knowing what the sequelae of inducing IVF in a post-menopausal woman are, so I'm uncomfortable with this case and its use of the mother as a guinea pig....

    Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    The new nurse who insisted that a clear liquid diet meant that the patient could have only liquids that were literally clear---so water, Sprite, and seltzer, basically. Jello, broth, and ginger ale...

    Post Partum VS. L&D

    LibraSunCNM replied to seraphimid's topic in General Nursing

    Midwives care for women throughout the lifespan, and need to be just as well versed in postpartum care as they are in intrapartum care. Delivering babies is just one hat midwives wear. Also, it is...

    Well that is pushing ethical boundaries

    LibraSunCNM replied to K+MgSO4's topic in General Nursing

    My issue with this case is not about 70 year olds not being "fit" to be parents, per se, but rather the disregard for mother and baby's actual health by proceeding with an experiment like

    IBCLC meets Midwife?

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

    I haven't, but I'm not very well versed in the topic. It probably varies state by state as
