Many of the hospitals in my area have a branch of home visiting nurses.  The patients doctor needs to order this--like a prescription.  The nurses will visit maybe 2-3 times a week.  This branch of nursing care also have bath girls to go out and give the patients bathes.  They receive orders from the patient"s doctor and report the patient condition to the patient's doctor.  This is used mostly by the elderly, but not always.

mothers are pretty tough people, especially when its to do with their children, no matter what age, talk to you mother about it and also get the professional help you need at your own GP or hospital.

Please address this issue with the parents.  find out how much interaction she gets with her parents and the newborn.  This could be a key in why her behavior is bossy and might indicate the parents attitude about the newborn.\n\nTry teaching the child how you do your work and incorporate her into the routines.  This might sound weird but she maight be trying to see where she fits in in the family and she might be trying to justify her existence and usefulness to the family.\n\nI have more but will need more information on the home life to be more complete in my answer.

ASA generally is not recommended during pregnancy by most obstetricians neither is ibuprofen, but if your doctor has recommended it then maybe the benefits of taking it outway the risks. talk to him or her about it.

What one person finds embarrassing another person might not, so those questions that you consider not to be embarrassing   may be very embarrassing for the asker.  So they post a question here rather than visit their GP.\n\nSometimes being friendly with your GP is a stumbling block when it comes to asking personal questions and some people would prefer to speak to a locum doctor whom they have never met before.\n\n\nEDIT I think I have completely the wrong end of the stick here. Thinking about my reply. I think that some of the medical questions asked on here are deliberately gross so as to shock us and not even worthy of a reply. \n\nAnd as for your comments about your favourite questions about pregnancy and women who have just given birth. You have no idea my friend no idea what you are going on about....and it's just sheer ignorance for you to make comment.\n\n\nHi there again if you don't mind me saying, if you expect the right type of answers would it be fair to say that you need to tell us the whole story before you post your question? That way you will get answers that are worth the paper they are typed on.\n\nGood news about the wee one though. Congratulations.\n\nNo 10 points for me then!

Iam licensed as a Registered Nurse in an Emergency Room, but we do our own ABGs, nebulizer treatments, Peak flows, intubations, etc... because the hospital is getting cheap and trying to do away with the RTs. Big mistake in my opinion. We love our RTs!

Yes.  She would just have to make sure she had a good doctor to help her to make sure she stays healthy and the baby stays healthy.  Good Luck.

because nurses are in demand in other countries and it's easier for them to go to another country. \n\nthat's what my mom wants for me.. it's against my will but i might do it `coz nobody wants to be stuck in here. seriously..

Competitiveness for one.  And two,  The nurses are in a tight spot.  They have an obligation to the patients.  They also have to stay under the doctors and respect the rules and regulations of the hospital administration.  Even within hospitals there is political crap to get through.  With that in mind the nurse has to get through all that.  I would be grouchy too.

I'm not sure why she'd do this, but without judgement, she probably can't cope and has probably been feeling this way for a long time. People don't recognise that some women can have post natal for a very long time too, not just in infancy stage. Don't blame, if she does call it's good, and don't reprimand her either for leaving. She may be too confused to answer any question's, and if she wants to come back then allow her to talk. I'm sure there are other maritible problems as well. Maybe you two need to talk without the kids, in a neutral place about things and then go from there, if she's willing, and you haven't lost contact with her. Just remember she may feel she's doing this to so she won't hurt you and the children from her own negative behaviour.

The neonatal nurse practitioner is not JUST an RN, there is additional studies required, most likely at least a masters degree. The nurse practitioner most likely spends more time with the actual patient and therefore knows more about the patient's current condition. The neonatologist will make more money, but will also be paying more malpractice insurance and will have responsibility over the patient's wellbeing, will visit the patient most likely one time a day.

Never heard of anything like this in my practice before.  If you haven't already, see your OB.  If he/she doesn't know what it is then see a spine specialist.  Good luck.

It is their belief that after birth a woman is to stay in bed and not lift a finger, a family member needs to be their to do everything for her as I am sure that the NHS would not be able to provide someone to do this. \nIf you gave birth in another country whose belief system is different to yours, would you abide by their rules or follow your own beliefs. I would bet money on you doing your own thing.\n\n(ie, you were somewhere they believed the mother is not to touch the baby for so many days, I am sure you would go with what you believed and hugged your baby immediately.)

There are hundreds of different types of nurses just as there are lots of different specialities of doctors.  There are nurses on surgical wards, medical wards, orthopaedic wards, intensive care units, renal wards and units, operating theatres, A&E depts.  There are GP practice nurses, district nurses, nurse practitioners, nurse consultants, research nurses, rehab. nurses, out-patient nurses, health promotion nurses,nursing home nurses, hospice nurses and many many more.  Nurses are professionals who, as part of a team care for patients to promote recovery or make as comfortable as possible where recovery is not acheivable.  They make important decisions on the treatment of individuals and it's about time that they were recognised by the Government and the corrupt NHS managers (who haven't a clue what patients need)  for their important role!
