    Safety of Indian Health Reservation job?

    LibraSunCNM replied to nurselove757's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have no personal experience working with IHS, and I'm not an FNP, but all of the nurses and midwives I've met who have done stints on reservations had nothing but positive things to say about their...

    Any CNMs That Want to Comment On Their Schedules?

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

    What is your definition of a "holistic" CNM? (just curious). To answer your question, join a group practice that shares call. There are many different practice types, midwifery is very flexible and...

    Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    LibraSunCNM replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    Color me confused as well. Elizabeth Warren should NOT have said what she did about her Native American "heritage." I don't think that discounts her as a candidate and I truly do believe she's...

    LibraSunCNM replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    So because you're Irish Catholic you're somehow "more" full-blooded American than the rest of us peons? Get over

    Expiration date checks on supplies

    LibraSunCNM replied to stellabella236's topic in General Nursing

    That was seriously my thought as well. I’ve never worked in an office that kept track of the expiration dates for anything except meds and sterile

    Notified of call before being on call

    LibraSunCNM replied to rlgiv's topic in General Nursing

    Did they call at 0500 to let you know you’d be needed at 0700, or they called at 0500 to have you come in right then?

    Wastefulness in healthcare

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This is but a drop in the bucket of healthcare waste, but I’ve always thought it was crazy that we put a man on the moon 50 years ago but can’t figure out how to create a box for disposable gloves...

    Is Concierge Medicine Elusive for Most?

    LibraSunCNM replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Where is race mentioned in this article? I’ve looked twice but see no mention of it. But in general, just because you personally are “tired” of hearing about something doesn’t mean it isn’t...

    Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    I definitely hear you and all I can say is how sorry I am you're going through this. The more I'm around people, the more I love my cats

    What one law would most improve nursing?

    LibraSunCNM replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I think they are a union of unions, in a sense. An individual nurse can join as an "at-large" member but generally their members are members of the 3 big unions that make it up, if that makes sense....

    Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    LibraSunCNM replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

    You can always consult with an employment attorney and lay out the facts for them---whether the cost of the attorney and any legal action against the facility would be worth it, financially or...

    Has internet fueled anti-vaccine movement?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a CNM, so my experience may not be super helpful to you, but I can tell you what our practice does. I'm working at a freestanding birth center---a place where moms come for their prenatal care,...

    Has internet fueled anti-vaccine movement?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That video is an hour and a half so I'm definitely not going to sit through all of it, however my take on the first five minutes is that likening vaccine supporters to Nazis is not a "good take."...

    This really sucks, but unfortunately there are just some units where the techs truly do rule the roost and the manager doesn't have the guts to discipline them. It's completely concerning and unsafe,...
