    Newborn cribs

    LibraSunCNM replied to Kldrn9963's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Where I worked as a Mother/Baby nurse, we had some steel, some wood. Where I work now they have only wood. For me the biggest issue is how much heavier the wood bassinets are! So bulky. Enough...

    Stanford Rape

    LibraSunCNM replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Wait, didn't you guys hear? Men are biologically pre-wired to rape, they have to watch out for each other so they don't "misstep." But really, if women would just dress like the Amish, rape wouldn't...

    Stanford Rape

    LibraSunCNM replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    And as other posters have stated before me, if this is true, what then is your explanation for the high rate of rape in countries where women cover up almost completely? I think you have your head in...

    Paths to CNM - Streamlined Options?

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

    There are several schools that offer this option of going straight through, but they tend to be extremely expensive. Columbia and Vanderbilt come to mind as initial examples. All of the midwifery...

    Stanford Rape

    LibraSunCNM replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I respectfully just can't agree with your interpretation of that post. I found it disgusting. Nowhere was there any mention of what can be done to prevent rapists from raping. Instead, the...

    Stanford Rape

    LibraSunCNM replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Are you serious? This is your solution? Tell women and girls to cover up and wait until marriage to have sex? How can you be that

    Stanford Rape

    LibraSunCNM replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this completely. While it may not be especially productive to focus disgust on his parents, they do not deserve a free pass and they way they've worded their denials of their son's...

    Sleep Rooms

    LibraSunCNM replied to AlleycatLady's topic in General Nursing

    I never worked anywhere as a floor nurse where I didn't regularly get my break, day or night shift. As such, it would have been nice to have a real bed to lie down in if I wanted to, as opposed to a...

    What type of soap do you use?

    LibraSunCNM replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Dove Sensitive Skin! Have used nothing but that for almost 10 years. Never anything with perfume, never any antibacterial stuff. For lotion I might use something nice with a scent for my hands, but...

    Natural Caesareans...anyone seen this?

    LibraSunCNM replied to quazar's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The thought of being able to see my abdomen open right in front of me... No thanks! Skin-to-skin right after the baby's out would be sufficiently "natural" for

    Being called in to work extra.. ALL. THE. TIME!

    LibraSunCNM replied to 20plusyearRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why??? They don't have a problem running their employees ragged in order to avoid hiring more staff, so why feel guilty about

    LibraSunCNM replied to cayenne06's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    That's a tough one, cayenne. I think you'd really have to bite the bullet, leave Planned Parenthood and take a year or so to get experience doing deliveries. I just don't know of anyone who has...

    Children of teachers/employees

    LibraSunCNM replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    Same for me! My mom taught 4th grade at my elementary school and I was very well-behaved in general, but also because there would have been no mercy if it got back to her that I was acting up. I...

    Pitiful statistic

    Pitiful statistic

    LibraSunCNM replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If we're talking about primary C/S, as the OP did when she referred to Hackensack Medical Center, studies have shown that elective primary C/S account for a very small portion of C/S rates overall,...

    Pitiful statistic

    LibraSunCNM replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes. And Hackensack is rated the "#1 Hospital in NJ." Until hospitals or individual providers are taken to task for their practice, nothing will

    Outpatient Vs Inpatient Circumcisions

    LibraSunCNM replied to kthelan2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, all of our circs are done inpatient. I don't know of any outpatient settings in this area that do circs, although I've heard of it happening elsewhere in the country. Even if a baby isn't...

    "Can you stay late?" Hours and overtime.

    LibraSunCNM replied to Spookysushi's topic in General Nursing

    Keep sticking to your guns and turning them down. While I can't say for sure that your stance alone will cause them to hire more staff, I do know that if you cave to their demands, they DEFINITELY...

    IV fluids after C/S, am I wrong???

    LibraSunCNM replied to knufflebunny's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you're thinking critically and practicing completely sensibly. Unfortunately, a lot of nurses in some institutions are really stuck in their "because that's the way we've always done it"...

    Aspiring CNM with a lotta questions!

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

    I'm not sure if you've found the website for the American College of Nurse-Midwives (the professional organization for U.S. CNMs/CMs), but they have a wealth of info, as well as a job posting site. I...

    Aspiring CNM with a lotta questions!

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

    Yes CNMs can work both in L&D as well as outpatient settings, whereas WHNPs only work in the outpatient setting. "Clinical" wouldn't be exactly the right word, that just means any setting where...

    The film: Vaxxed.

    LibraSunCNM replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I've also only heard of the Angelika screening it thus far, the Tribeca Film Festival pulled it from their lineup. Love the Angelika, it has the best popcorn ever! But I think I'll skip "Vaxxed,"...

    Aspiring CNM with a lotta questions!

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

    I decided to become a CNM when I was a junior in high school, same as yourself. I had been interested in birth and babies for a really long time, and in middle school/early high school thought I...
