    Thoughts on vegetarian/ vegan diet

    LibraSunCNM replied to bs76247's topic in General Nursing

    There's nothing wrong with a vegan/vegetarian diet if you're educated about it and find adequate protein sources. Sure, some vegans are holier-than-thou, but most aren't. I've never understood some...

    How OB nurses work with CNMs

    LibraSunCNM replied to vimmie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Good luck! I'd be curious to hear how different midwifery is here vs. the UK from your perspective once you start

    How OB nurses work with CNMs

    LibraSunCNM replied to vimmie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No problem, I figured as much. Generally speaking, in the hospital, each patient has a nurse who performs their bedside care---gets them on and off the monitor, starts their IV, gives meds, puts in a...

    Progress, Challenges and Shortages: Top Medical News of 2018

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

    I'm curious what you mean when you say "Sexual behaviors of gay men have changed over the past decade." Do you have evidence that gay men are primarily behind the increased rates of

    New Nurse In a Step Down Unit and I hate it

    LibraSunCNM replied to Aurora0941's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds awful. My first job as a nurse was on a heavy surgical floor that had 8 step-down beds, with patients about as sick as the ones you're describing. We never had more than 4, and the goal...

    DNA testing

    From what I understand this is becoming more and more common, which I think is pretty cool

    Texas Medical Board Attempting to Limit Scope of Practice

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

    As a midwife who has dealt a little in lobbying for APRN-friendly laws, and whose profession in general is plagued with turf wars with physicians, you're absolutely right. This has nothing to do with...

    I did wrestle with that paranoid fear as well, juan! At least it was a Christmas gift

    DNA testing

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I did an Ancestry kit two Christmases ago for fun, just for the knowledge of my genealogy, I haven't done health testing. To echo Sour Lemon, I honestly don't care to have that information. I know...

    Aromatherapy?

    LibraSunCNM replied to TNViking's topic in General Nursing

    Agree 100%! I have a diffuser and have a few scents that I love that are calming and pleasant. When people start rubbing a particular oil on a particular square inch of a particular body part to...

    Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    39 IOL

    LibraSunCNM replied to Surfandnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My concern is that this reaction to the ARRIVE study becomes widespread. The findings are being discussed as if they are widely generalizable, when in fact they're anything but. Rebecca Dekker from...

    In and Out Privileges

    How in the world do they keep your hospital staffed with all that craziness? Seems like the kind of place where staff would be bleeding through a

    Obese Kinder Child

    I can't imagine expecting the school nurse to solve that problem. As Old Dude states, if her parents also have weight problems, it's highly unlikely that any feedback you give them will magically...

    Sorry if this has been asked before---is there a reason that you've stopped making posts from the OP in a thread a different background color so they're quickly identifiable? It's a little thing but...

    Is a pension really worth it?

    LibraSunCNM replied to kelsonsa's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I would not ever depend on receiving a pension from an employer in this day and age. Obviously investments like 401ks are by nature subject to market fluctuations and there is always a...

    Is it a bad idea to return to the hospital?

    I agree that you're in an ideal spot to start looking for a new adventure, because you already have a stable job. You can really take your time and make sure the hospital environment you're entering...
