    Amniotic Fluid Embolism Patient - I wouldn't wish it on any nurse.

    Oh my goodness! I'm so glad the patient and her baby were OK in the end. You're so right, AFE is one of those ultra-rare, terrifying events you know you may see once or twice in a career but just...

    MS in Midwifery

    Interesting, thanks for sharing your
  3. I'm not an NP, but a CNM who lurks on this board from time to time. All I can say is yikes! A hospital that large should have an entire nursing education department, not one overworked educator. I...
  4. In a word: no. Only work extra if you want to, otherwise your employer's understaffing is their problem to
  5. And all of a sudden can swear like
  6. Learned in no particular order as a former floor nurse and now a CNM: -People lie -Life isn't fair -Women of all ages and backgrounds know shockingly little about their own reproductive health -People...

    MS in Midwifery

    It shouldn't matter. I went to NYU, which also awards an MS, not an MSN. I've now worked in two different states, and no one has ever questioned me or given me trouble about it. I think people...

    CNM, FNP

    I did two years of med/surg, then three years of postpartum nursing. Never did L&D for a few different reasons. I didn't like med/surg either, but like you, I felt like it was necessary for me...
  9. Actually, I've seen many episodes of their show (before it was canceled due to the aforementioned sexual abuse!), and they're quite open about their beliefs and what they teach their kids. When the...
  10. Roll with it and share away!
  11. You're correct that the Duggars are entitled to their beliefs. Your statement that they should be commended for the way in which they educate (or really, refuse to educate) their children about sex...
  12. I agree with the other posters that many chronic pain patients (and I'm not familiar with this NPR piece but I'm assuming that that's who they were talking about, not acute patients) would actually...

    Irritated MDs: to SBAR or not to SBAR?

    That's a familiar dilemma for floor nurses, and certainly for new ones. Some great advice has been given here already, but in a nutshell: you'll learn over time how to approach each interaction with...
  14. I have absolutely no clue what you mean by this comment. And I was the poster who said you're throwing your religious beliefs into the discussion in an illogical way, for what it's worth, not wtbcrna....
  15. OK, I guess I initially misunderstood both you and the post you're talking about. As I've stated repeatedly, I wish all conversations with parents about vaccines could be respectful enough that it...
  16. Ok, hold on a second. I realize this thread is going off on a few different tangents, but your statements are untrue. The entire point of my own posts (I can't speak for others) was to stress that...
  17. Me
  18. No, it's because you clearly have not grasped and/or accepted basic foundational concepts of science, and throw random straw man arguments about your religious beliefs into the discussion in order to...
  19. Don't even waste your energy, this is the same poster that argued rape would be less of a risk if women dressed more moderately in the "Stanford Rapist" thread awhile

    California Requires Gender Pronouns

    What about them? That's a totally separate issue that this law (unless I missed a part) does not address, and it's this law we're talking about. As the previous poster said, arrangements could...

    Part Time?

    Agreed. It's possible to find part-time work as a new grad, but much harder than someone with experience. It's also hard to gain good experience as a new grad if you're not working full-time. Good...

    Part Time?

    The prospects of finding a midwifery program that will let you do clinicals part-time is slim to none; I don't know of any. The prereqs can definitely be done part-time, but once you start the actual...
  23. Why not gladly accept the vaccine that prevents the cancer in the first
  24. I agree. I think it's completely valid to have questions/concerns about your own child's health, and to want to be able to discuss them. The fact that SO MANY vaccines are now on the schedule...
  25. I think there are definitely anti-vaxxers that are crazy conspiracy theorists, but those aren't the norm. Most people really do want the best for their children and feel that they are making the...
