Nurses For Newborns Foundation

Nurses for Newborns Foundation exists to provide a safety net for families most at-risk in order to prevent infant mortality, child abuse and neglect by providing in-home nursing visits which promote healthcare, education, and positive parenting skills.

Nurses for Newborns Foundation provides services to babies who are born with medical problems, born to teen moms or born to mothers with disabilities/mental health concerns, or who are born into families who do not have money for even basic necessities.

In addition to medical care, we assist families whenever possible with donated materials needed for safe care, such as diapers, formula, baby food, clothing, bedding, and cribs. We welcome hundreds of volunteers each year who help us manage the logistics of this work.

Sharon Ragone, RN, Mothers of invention, To improve patient care, nurses devise innovative products, Nurseweek:"For the sixth time in one day, Sharon Ragone, RN, a neonatal intensive care unit nurse, checks the bilirubin masks on premature babies at St. Mary's Hospital in Apple Valley. The masks easily slip. If she neglects to check them, ultraviolet light used to treat the babies' jaundice could damage their delicate eyes. On her way home that night, Ragone picks up a few supplies in the emergency room. The next day, she fits the babies with her creation, which she dubs the Bili-Bonnet. Hours pass. Every time she checks, the bonnets are snugly in place."

Guidelines for the Responsible Utilization of Neonatal Intensive Care, Wisconsin Association for Perinatal Care:"The goals of Neonatal Intensive Care vary depending upon the status of the infant. In some cases, the goal is similar to adult intensive care; that is, to return the infant to its normal state of health. For infants born with a special condition or defect, the goal is to repair the problem and support them until they can be cared for at home. The majority of neonatal intensive care admissions are related to prematurity. The goal in these circumstances is to convalesce and support the infants until they have matured and can be cared for at home. Some infants are extremely premature, incurably ill or have defects or conditions where intensive care may only prolong the act of dying or result in survival with profound neurological or physical defects."

Infantile Spasms Advocacy Network, Patricia A. Coonan, R.N., C.E.N., L.N.C.:"Infantile Spasms (sometimes called West Syndrome) is a condition that begins in infancy. Babies with this condition show abnormal, jerking body movements, also called spasms; hence the name, Infantile Spasms. The cause of Infantile Spasms is not always known. However, the most common known cause of Infantile Spasms is a lack of oxygen to the baby during delivery. In some cases the brain damage caused by this lack of oxygen could have been prevented if doctors had taken proper steps during delivery to insure the baby was receiving enough oxygen. As a result, many children who have Infantile Spasms are victims of medical malpractice."

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."

Circumcision, Circumcised Babies, Pediatrics, Children, Kids

Circumcision, Circumcised Babies, Pediatrics, Children, Kids:"At birth, boys have skin that covers the end of the penis, called the foreskin. Circumcision surgically removes the foreskin, exposing the tip of the penis. Circumcision is usually performed by a doctor in the first few days of life. An infant must be stable and healthy to safely be circumcised. Scientific studies show some medical benefits of circumcision. However, these benefits are not sufficient for the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to recommend that all infant boys be circumcised. Because circumcision is not essential to a child's health, parents should choose what is best for their child by looking at the benefits and risks. Circumcision may be more risky if done later in life, so parents should decide before or soon after their son is born if they want it done."
