    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think this perfectly sums up the merry-go-round that this discussion always becomes. Many nurses want to use this case an an example of something that it is simply not. Are nurses overworked,...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Of course. Which leads me to believe she's just doing this to prove a point, which further cements my belief that she is not in touch with reality, on many levels. Or maybe she wants to start doing...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I think her actions throughout this tragedy speak volumes about her personality and general mental stability

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This. Also when nurses use this case in the larger argument of how poorly nurses are treated overall, like RV is some sort of martyr.

    Gluttons for attention are gonna glutton for attention, unfortunately. People are

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Not to out myself too much but I live in the same general geographical area as her. She and her husband own a farm and I see her weekly at the local farmer's market, selling their produce. She...

    FNP to PMHNP--Is it Better?

    LibraSunCNM replied to raycna's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for your response! That is very helpful. Anecdotally, do you also feel like the number of adults getting diagnosed with ADHD is spiking

    FNP to PMHNP--Is it Better?

    LibraSunCNM replied to raycna's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Tagging onto this thread as a CNM who lurks frequently due to an interest in mental health. I've always been interested in psych although midwifery is my original passion, and someday as I get closer...

    How does your hospital handle employee absences with a sick child?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Crb2704's topic in General Nursing

    How does an employer even know if you're calling out due to a sick child? Are employees required to give explanations for callouts? I've never worked anywhere with a sick bay like that but...

    New Grad Orientation Doesn't Feel Safe or Supportive

    LibraSunCNM replied to Camillus_Was_a_Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad that things are looking a little brighter for you. I'd still proceed with extreme caution given the unit culture you've described. One thing I'd suggest is finding a way to document...

    "Cliques" in the Workplace

    LibraSunCNM replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    As a medical professional, surely you understand that if you truly have bipolar disorder, you need more than just therapy? The behavior you describe here clearly affects your ability to function as a...

    "Cliques" in the Workplace

    LibraSunCNM replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I'm fascinated that people continue to reply to this poster! Silver Bells, if you're not a bored troll and these posts are genuine, you need serious psychiatric care. And if you are a troll bored...

    CNM without catching babies?

    LibraSunCNM replied to LittleWing21's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yes, there are CNMs who solely work outpatient but as the poster above recommended, it sounds like you'd be more suited to the WHNP

    No longer conducting drug tests

    LibraSunCNM replied to oldie's topic in General Nursing

    When I did my occupational health clearance for my first nursing job in 2008, I assumed I'd need to submit a UDS. The NP there told me they did away with drug screening because the cost of testing...

    Is L&D/PP as Stressful and Scary as I've Heard? Need Career Guidance

    LibraSunCNM replied to CMV2254's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I second the poster above--based on what you describe, if you do make a jump to the hospital, postpartum would probably be a good first landing pad rather than L&D. You can always move on to...

    Childcare Arrangements/Sick Kids

    LibraSunCNM replied to Mbg1109's topic in General Nursing

    Based on the scenario you're describing, I'd try to set up a network of support you can call on from the get-go. Look into local babysitting services, join mom's groups on facebook and ask if other...

    Is Three Twelve hour shifts (10:30am-10:30pm) good for family?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Mbg1109's topic in General Nursing

    I actually feel like that could be a pretty awesome schedule. Especially 3 days a week--are weekends

    Munchausen by Proxy Murder

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Watch "Mommy Dead and Dearest"! Same case, really well done. I thought the documentarians were very fair to Gypsy Lee. Perhaps this was also in the series y'all watched, I'm not sure--one of...

    Is social media clamping down on alternative healthcare ideas?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree that lots of yesterday's EBP is now debunked, I'd have to disagree with you overall. I think the amount of disinformation circulating on social media that is definitely harmful to one's...

    Educating Teens About Long-Acting Birth Control

    LibraSunCNM replied to FNP2writer's topic in Advanced Practice

    What evidence do you have that young women who can access LARCs are somehow doomed to relationships with men who are not "virtuous?" What does "virtuous" mean to you? Why do you feel that the...

    Educating Teens About Long-Acting Birth Control

    LibraSunCNM replied to FNP2writer's topic in Advanced Practice

    Long acting contraceptives perpetuate the cycle of poverty and fatherlessness? Do explain. I'm pretty sure the actual research, as well as common sense, says

    Degree over Experience?

    LibraSunCNM replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Agree 100%, Boston. This has been discussed ad nauseam here but the anti-intellectualism streak in nursing/on AN is disheartening. It's not a binary thing, both are

    The MD Bias Hits Home

    LibraSunCNM replied to JBMmom's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm sorry you're going through this as well. The "us vs. them" attitudes of some MDs towards NPs are so tiresome. The American healthcare system is an absolute hot mess, and simply cannot sustain...

    Truth vs. myths

    LibraSunCNM replied to nurseinthemaking24's topic in General Nursing

    @traumaRUs you were sued individually? Or you were involved in a suit against the hospital and then had to deal with the BON afterwards? Just curious, you don't have to share if you don't want
