After the pregnancy a GP will usually see a new mother six weeks after birth to check physical and emotional health, including recovery from birth and checks on a baby’s health. Health Visitor Health Visitors are trained nurses who support and educate families from pregnancy through to the Childs fifth birthday. The Health Visitor is key for the first few weeks after the birth. They make sure the health of both mother and baby are good and offer support and guidance where needed.

I chose nursing as my career and education path many years ago as a child. The core job duties and education have remained the same for the most part and always will. The daily job description for a registered nurse according to occ.outlookhandbook is to provide and coordinate patient care educate patients and the public about various health concerns, to provide advice and emotional support to patients and their family. According to labor and delivery nurse Julie Mills Smith a registered nurses job description is “direct patient care, charting, charting and more charting. You become a healing helper, a friend, a confidant, a support system and in some cases a source of physical hope.

The patient is a 35-year old woman in her first pregnancy. She was very committed to a natural delivery for her daughter. The fetus’s sex had been identified on ultrasound examination and provided to the patient at her request. At 36 weeks gestation, the patient was diagnosed by ultrasound examination by her primary obstetrician to have complete Placenta Previa. The primary obstetrician referred the patient to Dr. de Beau for evaluation.

The whole song is about falling in love with an unborn baby that ends up dying four months before birth. The song is divided into four verses along with the chorus and bridges. This song really does come from the heart. Ed wrote this having his friend in mind. “You're just a Small Bump unborn, Four months you're brought to life, You might be left with my hair, but you'll have your Mother's eyes, I'll hold your body in my hands be as gentle as I can, and now your scan on my unmade plans, Small bump four months then brought to life” (Sheeran) is the first verse.

If in doubt, it is beneficial to get an opinion from another provider. For the patient with well women exam, the patient was uptodate with the pap, so I did not do any pap. However, I ordered flu vaccine, refilled OCP, discussed safe sex practices, encouraged drinking water, exercising regularly and healthy diet. For the patient with pink eye, the patient had purulent discharge from both eyes and it was itchy and crusty in the morning. I ordered tobramycin for 1 week for his both eyes and encouraged to wash hand frequently.

I have many goals I want to achieve throughout my life. However, the biggest goal I have set for me to accomplish is to become a pediatric nurse. I have been dreaming of this career since I was about eight years old, mainly because of my best friend. She was diagnosed with level four Cerebral Palsy at birth. The first thing that pulled me towards nursing was the way she would cheer up whenever I encouraged her.

According to a study produced by the FDA “82% of pregnant women reported that they intended to breastfeed their babies. … A year later, … these women were asked about how long they … had breastfed, 60% said that they did not breastfeed as long as they wanted (Grummer-Strawn).” So in hopes of increasing the number of mothers who are successful at breastfeeding let us take look at common maternity care practices and try aligning maternity medical care with the needs of a breastfeeding mother so that those with a desire to breastfeed might feel more encouraged to continue doing so. To achieve a higher percentage of successful bouts of breastfeeding it is vital to inform individuals, pregnant and not pregnant, of the health benefits of breastfeeding to both mother and child.

The reason I chose to become a nurse was due to my strong desire to help those in need. The profession of nursing, itself, is guided by human dignity, altruism, trust, and compassion (Shahriari, Mohammadi, Abbaszadeh, & Bahrami, 2013). I realized that the underlying values of nursing are parallel to my own personal philosophies, and therefore played a role in my decision to becoming a nurse. However, the overlap in values was not the only factor in my decision. Four years ago, my mother became pregnant with her third child and I was her support system throughout her entire pregnancy.

As I said, not everyone goes to college but my sister decided to go because she wanted a better future for her and her son. In March of 2010, my sister Paige found out she was pregnant. Because of this she had to take a year off. When my nephew was born Paige attended Miller Motte Technical College and studied to be a nurse’s assistant. She found this was the right place for her because she loves helping people within the community.
