    Eating the patients' food?

    LibraSunCNM replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    Where is the "mind blown" emoji??? Amazing. Yes, I've survived the last few hours of many a night shift by grabbing some Jello or graham crackers from the nutrition area. I've never eaten an actual...

    Los Gatos ER Physician in the News

    LibraSunCNM replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    The doctor seemed completely unhinged to me, but that doesn't mean the patient wasn't also being ridiculous. I love that they mention he was "eventually treated for dehydration with IV fluids" as if...

    Co worker issue

    LibraSunCNM replied to SnickerDoodle_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow, this situation is crazy. My main thoughts are that if I was the parent of the unstable child having chest pain I would have been flipping the F out until they got an EKG, and that the nurses...

    CNM vs WHNP vs Having Both

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

    National organizations like ACNM don't write scopes of practice, each state's board of nursing/midwifery does that. As far as I'm aware, there are no states where WHNPs are able to prescribe HRT for...

    How did she/he get through nursing school?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I've met nurses whom I was surprised managed to graduate from high school, let alone nursing school. That said, I've also met doctors, teachers, social workers, and people in many other professions...

    Gloves for handling misoprostol?

    Gloves for handling misoprostol?

    LibraSunCNM replied to boquiabierta's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wait, are you seriously suggesting that simply touching a Cytotec or its packaging could cause someone to abort their baby? Or that the act of touching it could automatically cause them to become...

    Gloves for handling misoprostol?

    LibraSunCNM replied to boquiabierta's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've definitely never heard that. It's technically a GI drug for ulcers, use in L&D is off-label although deemed safe, I can't imagine how it would affect one's

    Fertility/IVF Nursing

    LibraSunCNM replied to LilyMiranda's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We were lucky enough to have a daughter almost two years ago now. I joke that because of what I had to go through to conceive her, I was blessed with the easiest pregnancy ever, a fast labor, the...

    Fertility/IVF Nursing

    LibraSunCNM replied to LilyMiranda's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My experience as a fertility patient was very different, although I did go to a huge practice. They had a full staff of nurses, every patient is assigned a nurse when come into the practice and...

    LibraSunCNM replied to CJ2121's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry you're going through this, the whole situation sounds absurd. I echo others above that you may be better off in the long run finding a new job if this is how your institution operates....

    Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

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

    I'm a CNM, not an NP, but my first job as an RN was on a vascular surgical floor. The vast majority of the patients were longtime, frequent-flying, non-compliant diabetics who would come in for a toe...

    Certified Midwife Path

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

    I'm a CNM, but I've worked with and precepted a lot of CMs. My experience is that CMs are most widely recognized/employed in NYC, by far, because SUNY Downstate, where the credential was first...

    Do you trust the organ donation process (after recovery of 'brain dead' boy)?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an organ donor without qualms, however I'm also an educated white woman who respects the fact that other cultures may have totally different, valid objections to the process based on a history of...

    LibraSunCNM replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    LOL! Not a school nurse, but this made me giggle so hard. I think middle school kids are pretty much the most horrific creatures on the planet, so my hat is off to all of you who deal with them on a...

    Nurses' Week - Upended.

    LibraSunCNM replied to evilolive07's topic in General Nursing

    That's actually kind of hilariously passive aggressive. I would say "screw you" right back...as I settled in for a nice sweet nap break. Kudos to your union for negotiating that allowance! I feel...
