The career that I would like to pursue is a Neonatal Nurse. A Neonatal nurse is a nurse for the newborns at the hospital. Neonatal nurse focuses on the care of newborn infants. Neonatal nursing is the provision of nursing care for newborn infants up to 28 days after birth. The neonatal nurses work for three different levels- first level; they take care of the healthy newborn babies, in the second level; they cater to the needs of the ill newborns or premature birth, third level; they work for the newborns with problems which cannot be treated or cured in the first two levels.
aThe career that I have chosen is to be a pediatric nurse. In order to be a pediatrician, you have to know how to be very patient with children. The child or children ages usually ranges from newborn infants until they become a certain age in their teenage years. I already know that some pediatrician are usually recommended by the parents of some children because whomever that pediatrician may be, probably have been known throughout the family. A child’s health care is the important concern of a pediatrician.
*Please note* *I am a 8th grade student and this paper has not yet been graded* Neonatal Nurse What is a neonatal nurse? A neonatal nurse is, ”a branch of medicine concerned with the care, development, and diseases of newborn infants” (Merriam). Many people may think that a neonatal nurse just cleans up a baby after birth, but they need to have a well-rounded education, be able to handle many duties, and also have to recognize the high number of advantages in their career. A neonatal nurse has a variety of obligations, from helping mothers take care of the baby, to helping premature babies be able to breathe on their own. Predicted by the United States Department of Labor, employment for all registered nurses will grow faster than the average through 2014!
There are seven stages throughout a life cycle which are: Birth Infancy (0-3) Childhood (3-12) Adolescence (12-17) Early adulthood (18-40) Late adulthood (40-65) Old age (65+) Stage 1 (Birth) After birth Chloe will have several checks and examinations in the first few hours of her life. The first is the Apgar, which the midwife will do at one minute, then again at five minutes, after birth. The midwife can do this test just by watching your baby's colour, breathing, behaviour, activity and posture. This will tell her whether the baby has any immediate problems that need medical support. Most babies are fine, or may just need to be watched for a while.
Neonatal Nurse Neonatal nurse is a nurse that works with newborn babies, Neonatal nurse works for three different levels. First level takes care of healthy newborns after childbirth, Second level they cater to the needs of the ill newborns or those who had a premature birth. Third level they work for the newborns with problems which can not be treated or cured in the earlier two levels. You can choose the level you wished to work in as a neonatal nurse. Neonatal nurses have to deal with cases wherein newborn babies have serious problems like respiratory disorders or low weight at birth.
Home vs Hospital Birth Women should have the option of planning their impending birth at home, a midwife led unit or in an obstetric unit (National Collaborating Centre for Women’s and Children’s Health, 1998, 2006). The obstetric unit is seen as the predominant setting where births take place and sadly due to the current shortage of midwives it is the place where the woman is less likely to experience one-to-one care or the constant care of a midwife unless the birth takes place in a midwife-led unit or birth centre (Hatem et al., 2008). Even though a large proportion of women giving birth in the UK are reported to be healthy and experience a ‘normal’ physiological labour and birth there is still a substantial possibility that a large proportion of births that occur inside obstetric units experience some type of medical intervention during the labour process (NHS Information Centre, 2009). In 2007, According to a cohort study conducting by the BMJ (2011) approximately eight per cent of births happened outside of an obstetric unit with 2.8% occurring with the home, approximately 3% in alongside midwifery units and slightly under 2% for free standing midwifery units. In 2007 the ‘Department of Health’ pledged to make homebirth a viable option by 2009 in England.
Emma has a 4 year old daughter and she is a single mum. She took a year’s break from her studies following the birth of her child. The two main issues that may affect Emma’s learning are; time management impacted by being a single mother and lack of experience in a forensic setting. When Emma commenced on the ward, we had our initial meeting within her first week and we identified her learning needs and issues that may affect her learning. Strategies for supporting her learning were also identified (see learning contract).
The infant is tucked inside a parent’s shirt or gown while maintaining connections to life sustaining medical equipment. (Kenner et al.2007) Kangaroo care is a specific type of nursing care nurses in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit utilise when caring for high risk infants. Prematurity and low birth weight often occurs together. According to Price et al. (2007) the less a baby weighs at birth, the greater the risks to life during delivery and immediately after.
Ethics of Paid Maternity Leave Introduction Why maternity leave is beneficial According to the Save the Children - State of the World Mothers 2012 report, “much of a child’s future – and in fact much of a nation’s future – is determined by the quality of nutrition in the first 1,000 days. The period from the start of a mother’s pregnancy through her child’s second birthday is a critical window when a child’s brain and body are developing rapidly and good nutrition is essential to lay the foundation for a healthy and productive future. If children do not get the right nutrients during this period, the damage is often irreversible”. Poor compliance with breastfeeding recommendations costs the world economy billions of dollars each year. In the United States alone, it is estimated that low rates of breastfeeding add $13 billion to medical costs and lead to 911 excess deaths every year (Save, 2012).
Llamas are very unique animals because they can only have one baby a year. Llamas go through a lenghty process before they can have a cria. The female llama must be the right age, telling if she is bred, and then the actual labor of the cria after 11 1/2 months of gestation. Gestation is the period the mother carries her baby until birth. Llamas are better off being bred at the age of 36 to 48 months old.
