  1. Essential Oils in the ICU

    Marymoomoo replied to beanrn1202's topic in MICU, SICU

    Marymoomoo replied to GaPeach'07's topic in Alabama Nursing

    @TRJSU I'm a prenursing major. This is an older post, but I have some questions and maybe you could help me out. How would you rate your current experience? Are clinicals nearby? How many hours are...

  4. breast feeding course

    Marymoomoo replied to kateNICU's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    IBLCE offers the only International certification in lactation. I would encourage you to look into the pathways. Surely one will work for the program you're taking.

  5. NICU nurse becoming a Lactation Consultant?

    Marymoomoo replied to Mindylane's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Couldn't agree more with the statements here. If you don't need an intermediate certificate, then I, too, would encourage taking the Health e-Learning Breast Ed series. You can get all your hours in...

  6. How to become a Lactation Consultant?

    Marymoomoo replied to ndobrydnik's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You already have a degree in nursing, correct? In that case, the degree programs would not help you much. What you need is: 1) Lactation Specific Education Hours These can be easily earned online....

  11. A nurse who doesn't breastfeed

    Marymoomoo replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm an IBCLC, and to be honest, I find it a little offensive to be categorized among people who think/act like formula is "poison". That's not a feature of all lactation consultants. I'm not trying to...

  12. Infant Thermoregulation

    Marymoomoo replied to NewMotherBabyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    Marymoomoo replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Have you read the actual paper? It's not a study. It's a review. They go waaaay back to the 70's when there was no kind of indicator of how much breastfeeding was going on and for how long. That's...

  15. Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    Marymoomoo replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You're correct. This hasn't happened. WIC does not cover the full amount of formula needed in a month, and I'm not sure that it ever has. When their vouches run out, WIC participants have to find a...

  17. Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    Marymoomoo replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm certain that consent form doesn't say anything akin to formula is poison and you are a bad mother for giving it. Parents deserve the right to informed consent. How can they have informed consent...

    Marymoomoo replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Most cultures around the world do what Baby-Friendly does! Don't sell the families you serve short by assuming since they're not "white, middle class" that the new hospital environment won't work for...

  19. Supplementing ?

    Marymoomoo replied to RN520's topic in Ob/Gyn
