MerBear, God bless your heart. You don't have to work yourself like this. You don't need to prove anything to anyone, and that includes yourself. Your identity is not your job. Life is too short to be feeling this way. You're not in harmony with the real you. You sound like you're trying to fit yourself into the wrong shape box. I hear you say- oh I'm not hit his and this I don't have that and that skill- and perhaps these are accurate observations though I get the feeling that they are skewed by the stress you feel. But what about who you REALLY are, the skills you DO have? What makes you HAPPY? When do you feel good? This is some journaling or self vloging that needs to serious take place for your or I fear what lies ahead for you, It sounds like you haven't found a good fit of specialty for you yet. Have you considered a different unit or even getting out of the hospital setting altogether that can accommodate the REAL you? That has OTHER amazing skills and talents? You need to listen to your body, or it's going to seriously crap out on you, and it sounds like the organ being most affected in your heart and mind. Don't be afraid to change gears. It might take a couple Lilly pads to finally hop on the right one. Nursing is a big pond. <3 peace <3

A system that pays for free whatever- will automatically incentivize the increase cost of whatever good or service it is. Our nation could have the money for public healthcare, and a million other great civil works, but not until we grab the cancer at ROOT. We must hold the people/ policies/principalities/ powers accountable who/ that are responsible for the problems! The userious banking cartel that strangles every piece of our society by the collection of interest on debt is the PROBLEM. all other attempts at solution play into the hands of those who stand to profit off of debt.

Something to consider: once the government pays out for education, they will pay the salaries too. Anyone here ever worked in public health? I have! Pay sucks and the whole system is run much worse (to the detriment of the patients) than private home health. There will be strings attached. How about passing legislation that says federal money will NOT be given to schools who charge more than a reasonable amount for education? It’s the universities that need to be spanked. Not the American Tax Payer!! How about make student loans illegal? What would that do the the cost of education? The problem is a practice called USERY. It’s literally slavery.

I attend births at a birth center in IN presently. We are SLAMMED. My brother in law is an ER doc in KY. Their census is so low that he is only scheduled for 3 shifts in 21 days.

I think, like all sphincters, they can open and close. Although, I believe my colleagues would mostly disagree. Other reasons could be positional, the angle of the exam, or the woman pulling away from the examiner’s hand (the lady parts is a vacuum after all), or swelling could also make it seem as though it closed. Maybe other reasons, too!

I had a mom once and sve was 2 and paper thin. About a half hour later OB looked at the monitor (her uc’s had picked up) and he rechecked her and said she was a 3-4 and was pissed off. He lectures me at the nurses station about accurate vag exam being crucial bc they have to trust me- blah blah. I showed him my fingers and said “this was it” (one finger tip atop another), and “I don’t know what else to tell you other than perhaps she changed her cervix”. Didn't work there very long. I was at a home birth once and The CNM’s SVE assessment was 8. Not in labor. Declined AROM. We left! it was gonna be her 8th baby or something. About a day and a half later she was uncomfortable but not active, so accepted AROM and had a baby. Not exactly the normal, but hoping to paint the picture that cervix are not textbook creatures!

Who cares how many lives you save if you yourself lose your soul? Lose the love of your child? How damaging this is to your son should absolutely matter to you. No wonder you feel unrelenting shame! Your DUTY is to your child. Your JOB as a nurse is something you can pick up and put down. You simply can’t do that with being a momma. You are going to burn out and the way you’re living is gonna mess up your immune system. Take your vacation time or an unpaid temporary leave.

This is a pandemic of chronic disease. Diabetes and COPD and other almost COMPLETELY preventable diseases. That should be what stands out to you.

Christ before you Christ behind you Christ in air of your lungs and Christ in the air of your patients lungs. Saint Luke, Pray for us! most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! turn your face to the lord and he will look back at you. Reach out to those around you, and talk to someone about what you’re going through. A Chaplin, or even your company’s employee assistance program. God grant you peace.

Please, pray to St Michael the Archangel, the protector of those from the plague. Please pray to our Lady for protection, but that most of all, the people will repent and return to God’s way.

Look at REMOTE work from Home covid 19 nurse on in deed dot com.

Talk to your nurse manager or director, and advocate for your patients’ safety! Y’all to her just like you’re talking to a doc, and use your sbar. ”I feel unsafe” “I am very concerned” can you go in overtime and complete ACLS? what support can they provide you with to help you right now? What are they gonna do? Fire you??? Stand up for your patients’ safety.

Hey folks, I've been out of the clinical setting for almost 3 years. I got hired on at a free standing birth center. I wanna be super prepared for my first day. Are there any good CEU courses anyone would recommend on things which I could be rusty? I just wanna shine. Of course I’ve RE-certed CPR and NRP. I was a L&D nurse and worked in home birth for a nurse midwife before leaving to do health coaching from home (which I still do). Appreciate any sage resources or advice oh may have. Deo Gratias.

I have never offered my services marketed as a monitrice. To offer those services, it would be best to practice under a CNM or OB. Doula in the hospital, never at home. I have worked in a 5000+ Birth per year setting as well as the clinic/ boutique home birth setting as a nurse. I have gained a lot of knowledge and wisdom. Also attended a quite a few doula births. No matter what you say, you can never legally remove the fact you are a nurse. So laboring starts home with a woman is a chance for malpractice because her baby really should have heart tones ESPECIALLY is she is a VBAC. if you can find an advanced healthcare provider that would give you standing orders to follow, a protocol, and access to herself ... I would HIGHLY recommend this over the doula role. Any day. I hope this is helpful! God bless you in your endeavor.
