  5. Mother of Sorrows: Rachel's Story

    crankyasanoldma replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That was touching. I've often felt we need to pay more attention to our most vulnerable and valuable populations- the young and the elderly. I don't deal with either in my line of work, but I'm a...

  8. Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    crankyasanoldma replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

  9. Having trouble getting pregnant...getting worried....

    crankyasanoldma replied to jkaee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    crankyasanoldma replied to eng_nurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have an IUD and am generally very happy with it. It it 6 years old and will have to be removed at 10 years. I do have a heavier menstrual cycle because of it, but am otherwise pleased. I wanted a...

    crankyasanoldma replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

  13. Religion's Place in Nursing

    crankyasanoldma replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

  15. Planned Parenthood and nursing

    crankyasanoldma replied to rhiannonwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your mom's fears because of the politics involved, but PPH would be a great learning experience and a great place to work. Surely your mother knows of the many valuable services PPH...

    I've heard that if a woman who is menstruating, and is not the baby's mother, holds the newborn, it will cause the newborn to have colic. I've also heard that allowing a newborn to breath very cold...

    crankyasanoldma replied to someonehere's topic in General Nursing

    Your situation is not one I see in my line of work, but anecdotally, my brother had about 1000 stitches following a serious car wreck and had stitches pop out for years. He still gets one occasially...
