Karen Mercereau, RN, RN Patient Advocates, PLLC:"For over 7 years, we at RN Patient Advocates have worked independently with patients to assist them in finding the best healthcare and treatment outcomes possible. Do you have a medical crisis? Wonder what doctors might best help you? Have a mystery illness that no one can diagnose? Have several doctors who don’t speak to each other? Wonder what all of your medications actually do for you? Experienced clinical RNs are a treasure trove of information and, working as independent RN Patient Advocates, can stand by your side through your illness: asking the healthcare questions you don’t know how to ask, teaching you what is really going on in your body, researching and teaching you the full range of treatment options, guiding you through the maze of the healthcare system so it can best serve you."

Babycenter.com, Choosing a certified nurse-midwife:"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."

Brilliant Communication or Chicken Scratch? How to Read a Doctor's Prescription, Ask Your Pharmacist!:"Q. What does all that doctor's scribble on my prescription mean? Is there a trick to help me read prescriptions? A. Just like the English speak English, French speak French and the Vietnamese speak Vietnamese, doctors, nurses and pharmacists speak the language of medicine. It takes years of training to understand what might be spoken amongst health care professionals in your local hospital or the dense pages of information written in your own medical chart. Your prescription is an extension of this medical terminology. It contains key information and directions regarding your medication including the name, the dose, how to take it, when to take it, how frequently it should be ingested, and when the medication should be stopped, if it is to be taken for a definite duration."

Nightshift, Working Nights, Shift Work:"Working nights is a challenge for most nursing staff especially when one has to work for 4-5 nights in a row. Some nights are easy and some nights are chaotic. The nursing activities at night are slightly different in some areas such as in Mother-Baby Unit because most new mothers are healthy and they need more rest period. However, think about the trauma that comes in the emergency room every night and face non- stop excitement, drama, and stress. Or in the intensive care unit where one has to deal with codes after codes or ventilator intermittently beeping one patient after the other. All these situations can cause physical and emotional stress especially when working on the night shift."

I have always wanted to be a nurse, ever since I was in 2nd grade. I knew there was a staffing shortage and that it would be hardwork. However I never thought 4 months after achieving my dream and starting my career I would already hate it. SInce I have started my job 9 nurses, on my floor alone, have quit. We constantly work short staffed and nurses are always calling in. I should also mention I work midnights. I love being a nurse and I am very disappointed at the way i feel. I don't want to leave nursing or the health profession but I don't know what to do. Everyday I go to work I am nervous and constantly feel that my license is in jepordy."

Bee, Wasp Stings, Insect Bites, Direct Patient Care Resources:"Although many different types of insects in the United States are able to inflict a poisonous bite or sting (meaning they are venomous), the insects most likely to cause medical problems are bees (including the domestic honey bee, its Africanized "killer bee" race, and the bumble bee), wasps (including paper wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets), and ants (including the fire ant). These insects are all in the Hymenoptera order, and thus stings from them are occasionally called Hymenoptera stings."

Does It Make Sense To Study Nursing Online? Degreefinders.com:"Studying nursing online is an effective way to earn nursing certification for those students that need flexibility in terms of study time. Students can interact on a personal level with instructors through emails and telecommunications without the distractions that occur in the classroom. Online study can be completed in less time than classroom study or a student can work at a slower pace. Online nursing programs have the same information as classroom programs, so students can complete theory courses, as well as clinical courses online and receive nursing certification without time restrictions and can save some money in the process."

Wikipedia.org, Bronchodilators :"A bronchodilator is a substance that dilates the bronchi and bronchioles, increasing airflow. Bronchodilators may be endogenous (originating naturally within the body), or they may be medications administered for the treatment of breathing difficulties. Bronchial asthma is the most common application of these drugs. They are also intended to help improve the breathing capacity of patients with emphysema, pneumonia and bronchitis. Bronchodilators belong to a group of pharmaceutics called ß2 mimetics, which act on ß2 receptors in bronchial smooth muscle and bronchial mucous membranes. Bronchodilators, in particular non-prescription ones, are often misused as stimulants. A common side-effect of these medications is desensitization, which may produce refractory bronchospasm. Bronchodilators are either short-acting or long-acting. Short-acting medications provide quick or "rescue" relief from acute bronchoconstriction. Long-acting bronchodilators help to control and prevent symptoms. The three types of prescription bronchodilating drugs are ß2-agonists (short- and long-acting), anticholinergics (short-acting), and theophylline (long-acting)."

WebMD, Asthma Guide, Bronchodilators: Relieving Asthma Symptoms:"One type of medication is used by almost all people with asthma: a bronchodilator. Short-acting bronchodilators are used only as needed as asthma "rescue" medications, while long-acting bronchodilators are used every day to control asthma. Bronchodilators open up the bronchial tubes so that more air can move through. Bronchodilators also help clear mucus from the lungs. As the airways open, the mucus moves more freely and can be coughed out (expelled) more easily."

Purdue Pharma What are Bronchodilators? :"Bronchodilators are drugs used in treatment of COPD (chronic obstructive airway disease) and reversible obstructive airway diseases such as asthma. Purdue Pharma currently has two bronchodilator products: Uniphyl and PhylloContin. Once-daily Uniphyl tablets are a sustained release formulation of theophylline used to treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Theophylline eases the cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and troubled breathing associated with these conditions by relaxing and opening the bronchial tubes allowing increased amounts of air to flow into the lungs. PhylloContin tablets contain aminophylline, which is used to treat symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It relaxes and opens air passages in the lungs, making it easier to breathe."

Healthline, Precautions, Bronchodilators:"Bronchodilators come with patient instructions. Be sure to carefully read them before using the medicine. If there is any confusion about how to use the medicine, check with the physician or pharmacist. Always use these medicines exactly as directed. Taking larger than recommended doses or using the medicine too often can lead to serious side effects and even death. If symptoms do not improve or if they get worse after using a bronchodilator, call a physician right away. Although some bronchodilators are available without a physician's prescription, these medicines should not be used unless a physician has diagnosed the patient's condition as asthma."

Bronchodilators for bronchiolitis, Gadomski AM, Bhasale AL, Cochrane Reviews:"Bronchodilators produce short-term improvements in infants with bronchiolitis but more research is needed Bronchiolitis is an acute, highly infectious lower respiratory tract (chest) infection that is common in infants. It causes the small airways in the lungs to become inflamed, blocking the free passage of air so that the infant becomes breathless, wheezy and short of oxygen. Bronchodilators are drugs often used as aerosols to widen the air passages by relaxing the bronchial muscle. They are effective in helping infants and adults with asthma. However unlike asthmatics, infants with bronchiolitis are usually wheezing for the first time and wheezing for a different reason, that is to say, because their airways are obstructed as opposed to bronchoconstricted. Therefore, infants with bronchiolitis may be less likely to respond to bronchodilators."

The loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks is called early pregnancy loss. Often, the loss is a miscarriage (sometimes called spontaneous abortion by doctors). A rare form of pregnancy loss is molar pregnancy. The loss of a pregnancy—no matter how early—involves more than the loss of a fetus. For many women, miscarriage also results in feelings of loss and grief.

Miscarriage, American Pregnancy Association:"Spontaneous abortion (SAB), or miscarriage, is the term used for a pregnancy that ends on it's own, within the first 20 weeks of gestation. The medical name spontaneous abortion (SAB) gives many women a negative feeling, so throughout this article we will refer to any type of spontaneous abortion or pregnancy loss under 20 weeks as miscarriage. Miscarriage is the most common type of pregnancy loss, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Studies reveal that anywhere from 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Chemical pregnancies may account for 50-75% of all miscarriages. This occurs when a pregnancy is lost shortly after implantation, resulting in bleeding that occurs around the time of her expected period. The woman may not realize that she conceived when she experiences a chemical pregnancy."

Miscarriage, MedlinePlus:"A miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a fetus before the 20th week of pregnancy. (Pregnancy losses after the 20th week are called preterm deliveries.) A miscarriage may also be called a "spontaneous abortion." This refers to naturally occurring events, not elective or therapeutic abortion procedures, which a woman may choose to have done. Other terms for the early loss of pregnancy include: Missed abortion (a loss of pregnancy where the products of conception do not exit the body) Incomplete abortion (not all of the products of conception exit the body) Complete abortion (all of the products of conception exit the body) Threatened abortion (symptoms indicate a miscarriage is possible) Inevitable abortion (the symptoms cannot be stopped, and a miscarriage will happen) Infected abortion."

Miscarriage, Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:"Miscarriage or spontaneous abortion is the natural or spontaneous end of a pregnancy at a stage where the embryo or the fetus is incapable of surviving, generally defined in humans at a gestation of prior to 20 weeks. Miscarriage is the most common complication of early pregnancy.[1] The medical term "spontaneous abortion" is used in reference to miscarriages because the medical term "abortion" refers to any terminated pregnancy, deliberately induced or spontaneous, although in common parlance it refers specifically to active termination of pregnancy."

New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute. HIV Guidelines. :"Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus. You may hear that someone is "HIV infected", "has HIV infection", or "has HIV disease." These are all terms that mean the person has HIV in his or her body and can pass the virus to other people. HIV attacks the body's immune system. The immune system protects the body from infections and disease, but has no clear way to protect it from HIV. Over time, most people infected with HIV become less able to fight off the germs that we are all exposed to every day. Many of these germs do not usually make a healthy person sick, but they can cause life-threatening infections and cancers in a person whose immune system has been weakened by HIV. People infected with HIV may have no symptoms for 10 or more years. They may not know they are infected. An HIV test is the only way to find out if you have HIV.

Nursyz:"Hospitals and all the variety of workplaces nurses may apply for work claim the same thing: their facility or agency is the best out there in terms of compensation, atmosphere, benefits, etc. But as it often turns out, the thrill of getting hired stops at the orientation process. From then on, it becomes apparent there is a big disparity between management claims and the reality on the floor. Everyday, nurses have to contend with unsafe staffing ratios, unfair labor practices, indifferent superiors, to name only a few. It is a matter of survival and possesing the ability to "take it all in" in order to stay on the job."

The Hummingbird Man by Nancy Haygood, Hospice Poems, Stories of Death and Dignity:"He shows me tomatoes – red cherries, neatly hoed,
He naps in the sun, soaks up heat, sky aglow.
"Meet my new pup," proudly, "she's for squirreling."
His pain burns deep, he hides it, buried, gnawing."

What Is A Father? Inspirational Poems, Touching Stories:"A father is a person who is forced to endure childbirth without an anesthetic. He growls when he feels good and laughs very loud when he is scared half-to-death. A father never feels entirely worthy of the worship in a child's eyes. He is never quite the hero his daughter thinks . . . Never quite the man his son believes him to be. And this worries him sometimes. (So he works too hard to try to smooth the rough places in the road of those of his own who will follow him.)"

Labor Of Love, Supporting The Development Of Preterm Infants, Nurseweek:"Physiologically unprepared for life outside the womb, preterm infants have traditionally undergone intense, intrusive, and medically focused care. But what happens when preemies get care that focuses on developmental support? The NICU at California Hospital Medical Center has provided an answer: dramatically improved outcomes."

BabyZone's Premature Baby Page, Dr. Nathan:"The purpose of this site is to educate and support parents, other family members and friends of prematurely born infants. Having a baby born prematurely usually frightens parents. Depending on the degree of prematurity, your newborn baby may be at risk of serious illness and even death. These pages provide information, not medical advice. Your doctor and your baby's doctor are the best sources for medical advice."

Helping Parents Cope With A High-Risk Birth: Terror, Grief, Impotence, And Anger, Michael T. Hynan, Ph.D. :"Today I will talk about each of the emotions of terror, grief, impotence, and anger as they occur in high- risk parents. You will learn about my family and how we experienced these unfortunate feelings during my son's birth. And you will also hear the stories of many high- risk parents, who have shared their emotional struggles with me. I hope to be able to put some substance and feelings into abstract works like grief and impotence, to express the feelings that many times we high- risk parents hold back- - because we are afraid people and especially the medical staff will think we are crazy and that we can't handle our crises."

A to Z, Nursing Topics: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, K L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z As nurses, you are certainly aware that stress is one of the major medical problems of our times. Studies show that nurses are the single sickest group of workers in the workforce. Ouch! This is appalling. When I worked nights in the PCU, I noticed that there were many more obese nurses working nights than days. What have you observed? In my experience, I have noticed that without exception, obese nurses apply to work nights. They want to work nights. These dedicated, long term night shift nurses also are on multiple meds and often discuss how many meds they are on, compare them, etc. What strikes me is that they speak about it in such a way as if it’s the most natural thing in the world. Please understand, I am writing this out of compassion for my fellow nurses, not as a critique. I am telling the truth, and yes, sometimes the truth hurts. We all know by now that working nights increases your risk for disease.
