Common Questions and Answers about Flexibility in nursing practice

flexibility

Avatar m tn If you can understand that with increasing age the flexibility decreases and you can regain that with much practice and concentration. You need to strengthen your feet with proper exercise and control over a period of time, we are sure you can do better than what you are doing now and under a good trainer. Take care!

Avatar f tn when I was in clinical for my nursing school I accidentally poked myself with a insulin needle that was not used on another person but had been previously used on a practice injection pad. I washed and rinsed the area and disposed of the needle right away.
Avatar f tn Lucey- a nursing bra offers support as well, as breasts full of milk are fuller and heavier. They are not like typical bras. There's usually enough flexibility in the fabric to accommodate a nursing pad as well. A nursing pad helps absorb any leaking milk from your breasts so you don't soak and stain your tops, much like a pad for your periods. And also, it does fold down to make breastfeeding easier.
Avatar f tn A friend of mine has a very bad wound on her lower leg. She is in a nursing home where they just decided to treat her wound in a bathtub with A-33 cleaner added to the water. Is this a usual (and/or) acceptable practice for wound care treatment? I thought you were suppose to go to great lenghts to keep A-33 off of your skin.

Avatar f tn Haven't had a baby in 6+years and can't remember for the life of me what I was glad I had and was sry I forgot?? I know usually your only in a day or two but being I have cancer/high risk I want to be prepared in case I can't come home right away.
Avatar f tn Most midwives that work in a hospital are CNM (certified nurse midwife) which have a degree in nursing specifically. But there are midwives out there that are not nurses and don't have a degree in nursing and have their own practice. I have a licensed midwife which she specifies in homebirths/birthing centers but mainly homebirth. An OB specifies in surgery not natural births.
Avatar m tn I have flexibility issues in almost all of my joints (Knees, elbow, wrist, ankle). Coincidentally, all the joints in the right side of my body are worse. I cannot squat as the back of my feet cannot touch my butt, my hand cannot touch my shoulder, cannot do pushup as wrist will hurt a lot. I have done xrays but doctor said my xrays are fine. Went through physiotherapy but joints flexibility does not improve no matter how much i stretched.
Avatar f tn Hi there.. ofcourse you can enrol..! I'm a nurse & I am a hepa carrier. Just got a job, too..The nurse who checked my blood tests results even told me that I can work as a nurse, but, if you're an operating nurse you should change your specialty because you will be dealing with invasive procedures and you will have work restrictions, might as well practice nursing where you will not make the patients at risk..
1301089 tn?1290666571 AHHH! Now I get it. when you do Yoga, you open your mind to the Devil *nod*. Serial killers must be uber flexible. The sarcasm is quite literally dripping from my words. My keyboard is soaked, in fact. Seriously? I do yoga to help my flexibility and avoid going "postal" when my toddler drives me insane. I see some Hand of the Divine in anything that keeps me from screeching at my kids!
Avatar f tn A few things. Hopefully, the doc that diagnosed you relaizes that 3 years svr makes you basically equal to any person who has never had HCV. Except for the almost inconsequential antibodies that you probably have. Second, having had HCV and having treated it successfully is in no way a 'bad part'. Many of us who came by HCV in less-than-perfect behaviors don't practice those behaviors any more, if you get my drift. There is no reason to go into this with any qualms at all.
Avatar f tn I work in a nursing home constantly on my feet taking care of people. It definitely can get hard on the back sometimes. I tried a belly band for support but it was too uncomfortable.
2020005 tn?1628125976 All the other sites/forums that have explained a movement like this were told it was practice breathing, so I just need a little reassurance, thanks in advance!
Avatar n tn My 80 year old mother had TKR surgery last week. She says when she stands or sits for any length of time, her foot hurts and she must lay down to relieve the pain. The doctor said this is typical because of blood rushing to the foot and recommended putting the support sock on. Has anyone else experienced this? Everyone is impressed with her flexibility and she's doing her exercises regularly but this pain has really gotten her concerned and regrets getting the surgery.
Avatar n tn I've delivered with a midwife and with doctors- I personally prefer the midwife. You do need to seek one out- sometimes they are in a practice with doctors, other times you have to find them outside the practice. What's most important is that you are comfortable with whomever you choose- you can have a bad midwife, just as easily as a bad doctor, so make sure that you are on the same page with whomever your health care provider of choice is.
Avatar f tn As the presidential campaign unfolds, the differences in approaches to Medicare by President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney have taken center stage. But what is getting far less scrutiny: Romney's plans for Medicaid. He would convert the health care program for the poor, disabled and elderly into a block grant to the states and sharply reduce funding over time.
Avatar f tn ve never wanted to do it because I want to go back to work as soon as possible, but he days no my first child was breast fed and is healthy as a dog ( his ex-girls kid) and he wants me to breast feed, everyone in my family and my parents were bottle fed, what am I to do??? I just need opinions so I can think over it myself...

Avatar m tn There was no need for any chemo or radiation since the tumor was well encapsulated. He engaged in all follow up tests and recent routine tests were all normal except his abdominal CT Scan showed some swelling in his bladder lining. All urine tests were normal - no signs of blood or infection...no sense of urgency to urinate or anything else unusual.
Avatar f tn They are called braxton hicks. Chances are you have had them but haven't noticed as early in pregnancy they tend to be painless and infrequent. Later in pregnancy you will feel them. They will feel like a cramp or rly bad muscle spasm like a charlie horse in ur uterus. A change in position and a cool glass of water will make them go away.
Avatar f tn I too have heard that you are not supposed to blow into a woman's vagina. Oddly enough, I heard this from my boyfriend who said he learned it in school. I did a little researching online and this is what I found. "very rare occurrence. When air is blown or forced directly into a vagina — without allowing any air to escape — an air embolism (the abnormal presence of air in the cardiovascular system) could form, which can be fatal.
Avatar f tn Im 35 weeks and i havent had any practice contractions/ pains is this normal ??? Everything i read says you should start having them at 34 weeks + ....
Avatar f tn Because you can see your pulse. And babies don't breathe in the womb. They practice breathing but not until the very end.
1355431 tn?1369975306 so today at my 37 week ultrasound we got to see my baby boy practice breathing. It was so amazing to see. Just curious if you guys have seen this yet with your babies?
