Today was emotionally and physically exhausting. I kept plenty busy in L & D today. Before I knew it, it was time for post-conference. I didn't even catch lunch. In only 6 hours I got to be there (and help out in many ways!) on two deliveries.
One baby, I was just a foot away when she entered the world and I watched as she let out just the most adorable cry. It was very special. Way better than what you see on "A Baby Story" and all those other shows. When I looked up and the daddy and the grandmother their faces were priceless. Yes, I about lost a tear, but it was all good.
The other one I watched being delivered and I watched as she never opened her eyes and never took a breath. Her mother never heard her cry. This is something I'll get used to, I know, but it's just so sad. Fortunately, my clinical instructor said that it's great when people can feel for their patients so much. So my prayers are with them tonight. I've been where they are now and I feel their pain all too well.

Childbirth Workshop - Mother/Baby Assignment
Childbirth Workshop
September 24, 2008
The Childbirth Education Workshop definitely proved to be incredibly valuable to my education, and hopefully my lifelong career working as a nurse in labor and delivery. It will definitely prove invaluable when it comes time to assist a woman and support her during such a special time in her and her family’s life.
Although I have two children, I didn’t get any preparation through a childbirth class. Constant preterm labor with my first son kept me from attending every childbirth class I hoped to attend. When labor finally occurred at term, it was nothing but extreme pain and “counting the centimeters” until I qualified for an epidural. I was completely unprepared. After complications and reaching only 5 centimeters in two days an emergency cesarean section was performed. My second son was born at 35 weeks by cesarean section as well after a horrible experience with preeclampsia.
I described my personal experiences because although absolutely nothing went "according to plan" I still view the whole maternity experience in a very positive way. Why? Because there was always that one special nurse each time who had a real passion for her work and was full of wonderful information. Today in the workshop I also acquired some fantastic knowledge and hopefully someday I can make another woman’s experience positive no matter how non-traditional it becomes.
I was introduced to how the process of labor and delivery occur and how the nurse assists the mother, and entire family, to make it the best experience possible. I was especially interested in how the workshop focused on the mother's inner strength and how the nurse can educate and support her so that she can walk away with a positive experience. Pain can be managed and controlled, but the mother must first overcome fear of the unknown with knowledge. That's the first step.
Learning a history of the various childbirth practices was also fun to learn. It’s so interesting to see how far we have come, even in the last 10 years! Supplementing with the videos was also very informative. It showed the best methods of supporting the laboring mother, helping her not feel so alone in the experience, and showing ways to also teach the support person what they can do to help so they feel like they are a part of the process. Giving us the opportunity to experience a brief, yet effective demonstration of relaxation showed us how it felt for us. We, now, have more ideas of ways to assist the laboring mother.
Before today, I felt that I didn’t have great hands-on knowledge about helping a laboring woman. Now, because of the workshop, I feel like I have insight on what occurs during the “traditional” delivery of a baby. I’m ready, more than ever, to go out and help mothers and their families, in the same positive ways that nurses always helped me and it’s so exciting!

Week 1: Psych Clinical
Ok well it goes like this. I have to be up at 4:00 am for clinical. I have a 3 year old who had a cold the other day so I gave him a pediatric dose of pediatric cold medicine. You know on the label where it says "May cause marked drowsiness" and then later on it says "May cause excitability"? Which one do you think Colin is the night before my first clinical? You guessed it. I got to sleep around 1 or 2 am. I woke up so tired every cell in my body was aching and screaming.
Well I made it to the hospital an hour away. Mind you I don't know what to expect. Still a little shaky from my brother's suicide.
During group therapy I find my patient. Fortunately the social worker has each of the patients introduce themselves and where they are from. She is very well-groomed. Her clothes are clean and she looks to be very "normal".
As soon as group therapy is over I go over to my patient and introduce myself. She was full of smiles and very friendly to me. Right away she told me stories of her childhood that were rather remarkable. I was instantly interested in this woman. I love the elderly anyways and feel they have so much to teach us if we just listen, but she was so knowledgeable about so much. Art therapy was about to begin and she didn't care to join in. I was unable to convince her to stay, but told her if she didn't mind I would like to talk to her some more later on.
I attended art therapy with the 5 other girls in my clinical group. The patients were coloring leaves for the approaching fall season. We were invited to join in but we just stood there and watched. Finally, being like I am, I jumped in front of my classmates and instructor and said "Come on! Let's go color!" LOL Wouldn't you know but my classmates jumped at the opportunity? HAHA... they just needed someone to take the lead. Yeah, leave it up to me.
So we all colored the blank leaves that was on the sheets of paper. Everyone was doing such a great job of making real colorful leaves. And then I got ahold of every hot pink, electric blue, shocking green, and vibrant yellow crayon I could find and colored the most manic leaf you could ever imagine LOL! Ho-ly heck. I think they considered hospitalizing ME instead! But it was so fun.
Later on I went in to visit my patient as promised. We share so many of the same interests and she is beyond intelligent! But then again, being smart doesn't make you immune to depression. My impression of her is that she has spent her lifetime experiencing so much and has this treasure chest of knowledge to share, but no one to share it with.
I really hope that she is able to find out what will help her feel better. But if she's there next week I will be on cloud nine. I feel I was "led" to her for a reason. Both for my benefit and hers. Just like my first patient ever my first semester of nursing in Cardiac Telemetry touched me spiritually, this psych patient left a lasting impression on me. There's something very special about certain patients. You care about all of them, but there's a few that just really get you.

Ancient Egyptian Funeral Artifacts - Anthropology Assignment
Ancient Egyptian Funeral Artifacts
Michael C Carlos Museum Field Trip
Emory University
The Michael C Carlos Museum is located on the campus of Emory University in Atlanta. After a decent walk through construction zones in the hot and humid weather my husband and I located the museum. This was my first visit to the museum and the Emory Campus. I was rather impressed by the area. It was very clean and the buildings seemed to have a historic character. This was true of the museum as well. We entered the building and immediately were next to the book store. We passed up on this anxious to look at the artifacts and found ourselves at the information desk. I informed the attendant that I was there for an assignment and wanted to know what the rules were regarding photography. It was the typical “No Flash” policy. I made my donation, received a map of the museum, and thanked her for her friendliness.
Right away I took a look around and was rather impressed by the design of the interior of the museum. It was very clean, air conditioned, with non-distracting wall color and lighting. This was important so that attention was focused on the artifacts on display. The lighting on the individual artifacts was fantastic and allowed for complete observation of many different aspects of each item. Descriptive museum placards of each of the displays was posted next to them with a lot of information pertaining to that object, such as the legends surrounding the object, the location where the item was found, the material used, what time period it was from, and the person or organization that loaned or donated the item.
One of the first collections I observed was related to the ancient Greeks. This is one area that I have an intense interest. The epics of mythical characters and gods keep you wanting more. Their stories were of a different time and a different place but still had a special significance to today.
Besides the items from the Greeks, I was especially anxious to find the exhibits displaying ancient Egyptian artifacts. That has always been an interest of mine. I found them in the room just beyond the Greek artifacts, which were extraordinary in themselves. My deepest interest was to learn more about the ancient Egyptians and their practices of funeral and burials. Although there were many items that I found to be incredibly interesting, there were five that caught my interest the most.
The first item was labeled “Coffin and Mummy of a Priestly Official”. It was found in Egypt and was found to be from “Dynasty 21” circa 1075-945 BC. It was made of wood stained or painted with pigment. The human remains of this ancient “Priestly Official” were wrapped in a sort of ivory colored linen that was remarkably well preserved.
Near the “Priestly Official” coffin I found the fascinating and awe-inspiring ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. My husband and I read next to the display of the colorful sheet that there were a total of 189 books of papyrus rolls. It contained very picturesque drawings of everything someone would need to know about the afterlife, or their belief in the myth of the afterlife. The Book of the Dead translates to “The Book of Coming Forth by Day”. It was placed in the coffin or burial chamber of the deceased. The reasoning was that the deceased would need to read it to journey into the underworld. It would teach them clues and directions to help them along. The gods would also be able to provide protection to this person.
In an adjacent room I came across the “Mummy Trappings”. The ancient Egyptians adorned their mummies with networks of beads, often called trappings. Images of gods and goddesses were many times sewn into the trappings and came in various sizes. Both males and females have been found with these decorated trappings. In as early as the Old Kingdom, beadwork garments have been used in burials. One in particular that I found particularly interesting was the “Wedjat Eye Amulet” that was found in Egypt and dates to the Late Period (664-323 BC) This particular item looks like a beaded mask of a face and was rather remarkable.
Further down in this room that resembled a hallway I came across more burial items. One that especially caught my eye was the “Funerary Figurines” (shabtis). These were items that were included with the deceased that were representative of laborers. In the afterlife the figures were supposed to “come to life” for the deceased, so to speak. Whenever the gods would command the deceased to do work, the laborers would do the work. These figures could be made from many different items such as faience, clay, metal, or wood. During the Third Intermediate Period, there were shabtis for each day of the year. In addition, there were a total of 36 others included to work as “overseers” to manage the workers.
The last item that I would like to mention that sparked a curiosity in me was the “Animal Mummies and Cults” display. Humans were not the only ones being preserved in ancient Egypt. It appears that they also preserved their household pets and other animals as well as offerings. Animal cults referred to a dedication of a particular animal being viewed as the “physical embodiment of a deity”. The best example is the Apis Bull. An entire lavish complex is dedicated to the Apis Bull.
What my observations of the displays showed was that death and the afterlife were very important to the ancient Egyptians. The rituals were specific and a lot of work went into preparing the deceased for the afterlife. In addition, their intense beliefs in various gods and goddesses played a huge part in these rituals. This is a huge contrast to the common modern Americans. Death is generally something that isn’t dealt with until it occurs, the planning is done relatively quickly, and then the loved ones are either buried or cremated. The ancient Egyptians placed a strong emphasis on preparing during life.
What is most interesting to me is the belief that items placed with the deceased would be accessible to them in the afterlife. Where did the ancient Egyptians obtain their knowledge of the afterlife? Were they subject to trance-like states where they were able to see into the afterlife, complete with its gods, goddesses, and iconic images? Is this why specific animals hold a sort of mystical importance with the ancients? How much of the folklore is still alive in Egypt today?
The individuals after death would interact with the various gods and goddesses and needed to be prepared. This would be the equivalent to the modern-day Christian belief that when someone dies they go on to meet “Jesus” or “God”. But it differs in that instruction needs to be given in physical form to prepare for the obstacles encountered in death.
I was incredibly satisfied with my visit to the Michael C Carlos Museum. I look forward to bringing my own children there on many more occasions and to teach them everything I have learned.

New Mommy
No I'm not pregnant LOL But we told my mom she's going to be a grandmother again and I think she passed out for a minute!! HAHA...
My Firemouth laid eggs today when we were gone. I could tell something was up cause she has this little helmet decoration and she seemed to be cleaning it quite a bit and rubbing up against it. She was also real crazy and aggressive. I read to turn the heat up so I bumped it up to 84 from 80. I checked before I left today and no eggs but she was still cleaning. Before I came home tonight I bought a small flower pot to put in there. Cichlids like laying eggs in those. When I came home I checked on her and there's TONS of eggs in the helmet! Her and her mate were flaring their fighting fins at me. They didn't want me near the aquarium LOL And God forbid another fish came near. They attacked! I've never seen them like this. So I moved the filter over away from the helmet and tomorrow I'm going to Petsmart to get an aquarium divider so the other cichlids don't attack.
Has anyone else had a Firemouth lay eggs? This is my first time seeing it! I'm so excited. What do I need to know?

Biggest Pet Peeves
1) Slow drivers in the left lane on the interstate with a long line of cars behind them and no one to their right. Get over and kindly let others through!
2) Aggressive drivers that rush to cut off the slow driver and almost cause an accident.
3) People that won't allow you to hold your own opinion. Especially politically. I won't always agree with you politically, but I respect your right to feel differently than me.
4) Pedophiles. Grown men that go after children & young teens.
5) Rapists.
6) Murderers. Ok, this is beyond pet peeve, it's borderline "If you ever hurt my kids I won't wait for your "right to a fair trial" and all that nonsense. I'll just kill ya. And it WILL be cruel and unusual.
7) Those mothers at the school that want to be in everyone's business and call up parents to spread rumors. All while driving their kids to 400 different things and not actually spending time with their kids. I'm not referring to mother's that have their kids involved in activities. I'm referring to the ones who can't stop talking about other people and their kids.
8) People who spend their life making babies and not working a job. Living off the government with no end in sight. Hey, they get raises for making more babies! Wish any job I get would do that.
9) Religious people who think they are far superior to everyone else. In that I mean the ones who say you're not a "REAL" Christian because you don't capitalize "God", don't go to their church, don't read the bible (sorry, Bible) enough, and don't give enough in church. They dismiss anything bad they do because they're Christians and therefore cannot be bad people. I'm a Christian and you DON'T have to be the same as me for me to treat you with respect.
10) Snobby people. Is there ANY reason why you can't say hi or even slightly smile when someone says "Hi" to you? I see that alot in the hospital.
11) People who don't pay you when they win your auction on ebay. If it's going to be several days before you pay me, at least let me know! Don't leave me guessing, especially when you have 5 negative feedbacks for non-payment! I want to be sure I'm judging you fairly.
12) Stomachaches and bladder infections. Hmmm maybe that's why I'm writing such a negative blog LOL
14) The number 13. Don't like it.
15) Bills.
16) Vonage.
17) Calling for tech support and getting someone in a foreign country. I love foreigners, but when I need someone to walk me step by step through something troubleshooting, I don't need someone I have to keep asking "Huh?" "Excuse me?"
18) Women who feel they have to act sleazy in order to get attention. Come on please! You're better than that! Use your brain to get attention.
19) Spoiled brats. It's one thing to have lots of money. But when you treat people like crap and don't appreciate people, you deserve to suffer. LOL
20) Being tired as heck. And not feeling good. I'm going to bed.
2) Aggressive drivers that rush to cut off the slow driver and almost cause an accident.
