    Maybe a stupid question..

    LibraSunCNM replied to fjluce's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    They (I'm assuming you're referring to victims of Harvey Weinstein) waited for months/years to say something because they were scared. Someone in a position of enormous power put THEM in a situation...

    Maybe a stupid question..

    LibraSunCNM replied to fjluce's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I guess my argument would be that, in my opinion, we need to start teaching boys from an early age that "common sense" means you don't touch someone without their consent, rather than placing the...

    Maybe a stupid question..

    LibraSunCNM replied to fjluce's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This. If he doesn't automatically assume that he needs to get someone's consent to touch them, no matter if it's someone he knows well or a coworker he just met at a brand new job, then he has...

    National Walkout Day March 14 at 10am

    LibraSunCNM replied to RobotechTD's topic in School

    You participate in peaceful protests like this to let politicians know that they have a tidal wave of anger coming for them at the voting booth. And that it's easy to see which politicians are...

    New Nurse Maybe Moving to Pittsburgh - Job Prospects?

    LibraSunCNM replied to CriticalJ's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is from Pittsburgh and I think it's a really great city. I would never have known that it's thought of as a violent area, that's not been my experience there at all, and we go a couple...

    Experience prior to CNM/WHNP Programs

    LibraSunCNM replied to MRD_RN20's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    It's really too dependent on the individual student and their level of motivation/enthusiasm to generalize. I did not have L&D experience, but rather med/surg and mother/baby and I was at the top...

    What happened to molar pregnancies before modern medicine?

    LibraSunCNM replied to krispykritter's topic in Ob/Gyn

    *Virtual fist-bump* I only had my first child 18 months ago, and had already been a nurse and a midwife for a little while. I'm grateful for the respect for evidence-based practice that nursing has...

    Experience prior to CNM/WHNP Programs

    LibraSunCNM replied to MRD_RN20's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Honestly it varies pretty widely. Some schools require prior nursing experience, some require that experience to be specifically in L&D, but many do not require nursing experience at all, even if...

    What happened to molar pregnancies before modern medicine?

    LibraSunCNM replied to krispykritter's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In her case she doesn't plan to have any more kids (she's over 40 and thinking "one and done"), so Rh sensitization would be a non-issue. She was also pretty sure (but not positive) that her husband...

    Psychology Bachelors Degree trying to become registered nurse midwife

    LibraSunCNM replied to foreag1's topic in General Nursing

    It's interesting, it was actually created with the intention of making midwifery in the U.S. more like midwifery in the U.K., where you don't need a nursing background to be a midwife, although many...

    Psychology Bachelors Degree trying to become registered nurse midwife

    LibraSunCNM replied to foreag1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the certified-midwife route is a whole other pathway to consider if you plan to live and work in NY, NJ, DE, RI, or MO. You can bypass the nursing background all together, but you're only...

    What happened to molar pregnancies before modern medicine?

    LibraSunCNM replied to krispykritter's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In a nutshell, women died. (I said this same statement the other day at work with a lovely but slightly ridiculous client who has decided to refuse Rhogam and asked me what women did before Rhogam...

    100 mile commute. Worth it?

    LibraSunCNM replied to indomie23's topic in General Nursing

    I actually don't think that 50 miles one way is all that bad, when I read your title I assumed you meant it was 100 miles each way, 200 miles round trip. If the commute is a relatively straight shot...

    Essential Oil Overkill

    LibraSunCNM replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

    That is definitely amazing. I keep thinking of what another poster mentioned---what if the patients with dementia hate the smell of the oils but can't speak up to say they don't like it? Ugh....

    He Wanted to Practice Satanism for the Baby

    LibraSunCNM replied to Shookclays's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yeah, I've recently found out that the family is also rabidly anti-vax, which I'm learning often goes hand-in-hand with obsession with EOs. It makes me cringe for their kids because that IS...
