The Love Of A Friend, Inspirational Poems, Touching Stories

******************************************************

Because you love me, I have found
New joys that were not mine before;
New stars have lightened up my sky
With glories growing more and more.

Because you love me I can rise
To the height of fame and realms of power;
Because you love me I may learn
The highest use of every hour.

Because you love me I can choose
To look through your dear eyes and see
Beyond the beauty of the Now
Far onward to Eternity.

Because you love me I can wait
With perfect patience well possessed;
Because you love me all my life
Is circled with unquestioned rest;
Yes, even Life and even Death
Is all unquestioned and all blest.

Life's Tug of War, Inspirational Poems, Touching Stories
http://www.inspirationalnursing.com/tug
******************************************************

Life can seem ungrateful and not always kind
Life can pull at your heartstrings and play with your mind

Life can be blissful and happy and free
Life can put beauty in the things that you see

Life can place challenges right at your feet
Life can make good of the hardships that we meet

Life can overwhelm you and make your head spin
Life can reward those determined to win

Life can be hurtful and not always fair
Life can surround you with people who care

Life clearly does offer its ups and its downs
Life's days can bring you both smiles and frowns

Life teaches us to take the good with the bad
Life is a mixture of happy and sad

So.....

Take the life that you have and give it your best
Think positive, be happy let God do the rest

Take the challenges that life has laid at your feet
Take pride and be thankful for each one you meet

To yourself give forgiveness if you stumble and fall
Take each day that is dealt you and give it your all

Take the love that you're given and return it with care
Have faith that when needed it will always be there

Take time to find the beauty in the things that you see
Take life's simple pleasures let them set your heart free

The idea here is simply to even the score
As you are met and faced with Life's Tug Of War

Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program, MeritCare Health System:"What is SANE? SANE stands for sexual assault nurse examiner. SANEs are registered nurses who have received specialized training to examine victims of sexual assault. How does the SANE program work? When victims of sexual assault first arrive at MeritCare's Emergency Center (EC), a triage nurse will check vital signs and ask some simple questions about the person's immediate needs. If there are urgent injuries, one of MeritCare's Emergency Center doctors will examine and treat those injuries. The on-call SANE will be contacted and will respond in a short amount of time. SANEs care for sexual assault victims that are ages 13 and older. Younger children will be referred to a pediatrician."

Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program - Ontario Network of Sexual Assault Care and Treatment Centres (Canada):"The Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner program began in October 1995 with the training of 25 nurses from across Ontario. As of March 2000, over 300 nurses have completed the 40 hour training program. The SANE program developed out of experience learned in the United States for the provision of care for sexual assault survivors. A provincial training program has been developed which enables the nurse to provide the emergency care to the victim/survivor independent of a physician unless medical care is warranted. The intent of the program is to increase the continuity of care for the client, decrease the length of time for the client in the service and to increase utilization of professionals. The cost of providing service to the client is also decreased as physician OHIP billings are reduced."

What do nurse-midwives do? allnursingschools.com:"Nurse-midwives are very involved in labor and delivery, sometimes never leaving the mother during the entire labor process. They are trained to recognize signs and symptoms that deviate from normal conditions and will consult with a physician who may become involved in the delivery if needed. Although qualified to administer drugs and to perform medical procedures, those interventions are not routine for nurse-midwives, and they are used only when the mother requests them. Most nurse-midwives deliver babies in hospitals and in homes. They also provide both prenatal and postpartum care for both mothers and newborns. In addition, nurse-midwives provide family planning and birth control counseling, and normal gynecological services such as: physical and breast exams, pap smears, and preventive health screening. In most states, nurse-midwives may prescribe medications."

Choosing a certified nurse-midwife, Babycenter.com:"You can choose a certified nurse-midwife to care for you during your pregnancy as long as you're in good health (meaning you have no serious chronic medical condition, such as high blood pressure, epilepsy, heart disease, or diabetes). At your first visit to a midwife, she'll take a comprehensive medical history, answer any questions you have, perform a physical exam, and have laboratory screenings done. She can make arrangements for any prenatal testing you want to have done that she doesn't do herself, such as ultrasound or amniocentesis. If it turns out that you have certain medical or obstetrical conditions — such as high blood pressure or triplets — that require the care of an obstetrician or a perinatalogist (a high-risk specialist), she'll refer you to one."

Is a Certified Nurse-Midwife Right for You? Discovery Health:"Have you considered asking a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) to assist in your labor? A certified nurse-midwife has been trained in two disciplines: midwifery and nursing. He or she carries a wonderful blend of reassuring support and medical expertise. Here are the answers to some common questions about midwives. What does a CNM do? A midwife's care extends beyond the birth experience to include prenatal care, such as counseling the mother about breastfeeding and infant care. He or she can also offer the mother postpartum care in the form of support and information regarding the physical and emotional changes the mother is experiencing."

Certified Nurse-Midwives, Kids Into Health Careers:"Certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) are RNs with advanced training in midwifery that allows them to care for expectant mothers and to provide a range of clinical services for women. They examine women during pregnancy; manage labor; deliver infants; and after birth, care for the newborn and mother. Other duties include preventive health care, counseling, prescribing medication (most States), conducting clinical research, and teaching. All 50 States have recognized nurse-midwifery as a legal profession. Certified nurse-midwives may choose private practice or be employed in hospitals, independent birthing centers, or clinics.

Midwives, KidsHealth.org:"Congratulations, you're pregnant! Let the decision-making begin. Choosing a health care provider to care for you and your baby during your pregnancy is one of the biggest decisions you'll be making. In the United States, women's choices have traditionally been limited to an obstetrician or a knowledgeable family doctor. For some women with low-risk, uncomplicated pregnancies, midwives offer an excellent alternative. In Europe, midwives assist at more than 70% of normal vaginal births. Though midwives delivered only 7% of American babies in 1997, that percentage has been increasing since 1975. But most Americans aren't sure what they do, how they're trained, or if they're even available. Is a midwife a viable option for you?"

****************************************************

MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Certified Nurse Midwife profession (CNM):"Nurse-midwifery in the United States dates back to 1925. At that time, Mary Breckenridge developed the Frontier Nursing Service in Kentucky. The program used public health registered nurses, who had received additional nurse-midwifery education in England, to staff nursing centers in the Appalachian mountains. The centers offered family health care services in addition to childbearing and delivery care to residents within the region. The first nurse-midwifery education program in the U.S. was founded in 1932 at the Maternity Center Association of New York City. The program enrolled public health nurses and awarded a certificate in nurse-midwifery to its graduates. Today, all nurse-midwifery programs are within institutions of higher education. Approximately 70% of nurse-midwives graduate at the Master's degree level. These programs must be accredited by the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) in order for graduates to be eligible to take the National Certification Examination."

What is a Midwife? - WomensHealthChannel:"A midwife attends childbirth, provides support during labor and delivery, and supervises the general care of women and children directly after birth. The term midwife, meaning "with a woman," was first recorded in 1300. However, accounts dating to the second century confirm the role of midwives in the birthing process. Contemporary midwives provide care to women during normal pregnancies and deliveries and call on obstetricians or other physicians if complications develop. Midwifery is a professionally regulated field."

******************************************************

A lawyer was on his deathbed in his bedroom, and he called to his wife.

She rushed in and said, "What is it, honey?"

He told her to run and get the bible as soon as possible. Being a religious woman, she thought this was a good idea. She ran and got it, prepared to read him his favorite verse or something of the sort.

He snatched it from her and began quickly scanning pages, his eyes darting right and left.

The wife was curious, so she asked, "What are you doing, honey?"

"I'm looking for loopholes!" he shouted.
