Gina is my manager at a Traditional Chinese Medicine school. She found out she was pregnant when she took a pregnancy test the day or so after she was due, which was at the end of January 2014. She had the ultrasound around 8 weeks into her pregnancy, and confirmed she was pregnant. Gina and her husband were very excited and joyful about it because they love babies so much, and would like to have their own child. She didn’t have any of the pregnancy symptoms before 8 weeks, but after 8 weeks, she started having morning sickness, and her breast felt sore.
(Feldman, 2001 p. 54) Arabella was full term, fully developed, and ready for birth, her mother’s body released the protein CRH which started the process of birth. Her labor seemed like it was an eternity, but was only 8 hours of contractions and hour and a half of labor, before Arabella was through the birth canal and into the Mid-wife’s hands. Following Arabella was the placenta and umbilical cord, which was still attached to Arabella. (Feldman, 2011, p.61-62). Arabella Dawn Barker’s mother welcomed her into the world on October 13, 2012.
Entering the Midwifery profession requires 3 hard working years at University to receive your degree. Being a midwife is not all about delivering babies but providing care and support for the women and their families during the antenatal and postnatal periods, and promoting a good knowledge of health. There are many positives side to being a midwife. Meeting new people and seeing them go through their journey to building their own little family. Helping the Mother and the Father through all of the antenatal and giving them any support they may need through the most exciting but scary time of their lives and being there when their new little family member is brought into the world.
As a benefit of working at our hospital, we can use our cardiac rehab gym for our own use. As I would do my daily workout, this sweet little gray haired lady befriend me and as we got to know each other, I discovered she had just in the last six months had a triple by-pass, still has a mild congestive heart failure and was in the midst of leukemia/lymphoma diagnosis. I was amazed that she was doing as well as she was. She explained to me that it gave her hope and made her feel better getting out and exercising daily. One day, she stopped coming.
Have you ever wondered who is responsible for being the caregiver for the babies while in the hospital? Neonatal nurses have the responsibility of providing the care for babies when they are first born. Neonatal nursing has many education requirements, an outstanding job outlook, as well as great benefits. Neonatal nurses care for newborns for the first 28 days of the babies’ lives, the children’s most vulnerable stage. Nurses specialized in this field are required to focus not just on healthy infants, but also on ill or premature babies.
It was my first placement on a rehabilitation and palliative care ward. I was working a late so before me and my mentor finished we had to handover the patient information to the nurses just coming on shift. In particular we had been caring for a patient with diabetes, we went through all of the

She was there the next morning; well after many test, scares and challenges, six month later we were taking her home.
She got up every morning before work and walked 3 miles just because the doctor said it would be good for her. Whatever kept her going I'm not sure but I’m pretty sure that after being diagnosed with more than 3 cancers a lot of people would have given up, but not her, she never gave up…on anything! Every day, even when she felt sick, weak and beat down she still got up and continued on with her life just like
For example when a nurse sees that its patients exercise and watch his or her diet in order to lower its blood pressure or cholesterol the nurse should reward them by making a positive comment to them. In addition a good nurse should take their time to review its patient’s health history and their present history in regular bases. A good nurse will take some extra time to research about some health condition that its patient is going though. And a good nurse will keep in touch with its patient’s family and inform them about the patient’s health in regular bases if it’s ok with the patient. Finally a good nurse will respect its patient’s situation and have patience while he or she is in process of recovering.
Today, I’m going to talk about my personal experience and also how donating blood can save lives. When I was pregnant with my first child, everything was fine in the early trimesters. All my routine obstetrician appointments went well and my doctor’s would tell me that my pregnancy was progressing well.
