I am Catching!

I am back home where I belong I am back caring for woman and catching babies and I love it truly love it ( even if I am only working as a student). The first few days were a little rough getting back in to the saddle as to speak but now I am feeling it truly feeling it. It hard working with someone looking over your shoulder but no matter all that matters is that I am back caring for women providing them with evidence based health care choice and Power. Its making my real job hard to do and pushing to the finish line with two classes left I can make i got to make it I got to do what I love for a living at it makes everything have a meaning for me. I know this is what I am meant to do and I love it.

Health Care Reform

Wow -I do not think I have met a single nurse that is for the reform which truthfully amazes me - but then again when I got to think about it where are they taking most of their points of reference - why from the Doctors who every man and woman to one are against the reform - why I hear you scream well it comes down to one thing and one thing alone money!

Why the hell are expensively trained doctors and surgeons bothering themselves with low risk normal birth as miss kitty once put it follow the money and the same is true about health reform its all about the money - physicians are concerned that they are going to lose money because of the new law! and may be they will whose knows but what is the greatest need doctors who may need to down size from there four million dollar house or that now 47 million people will be able to receive the basic human right of the ability to to get help when they are sick- doctor move over midwives offer safe reliable care to 70% of the population at half the cost unlucky the gravy train just derailed...............

Could Lost be on her way to being Found

I am well on the way towards the prize I can almost see that flame flickering at the end of that really dark tunnel! I have move towards things and along the way growth has taken place - I not sure what the future holds are any of us but here and now I am beginning to feel a sense of achievement. This achievement is not just with school - I am amazed and almost breathless when I watch my boys grow each different but held together at the core by our sense of family and love - I think like birth not enough attention is spent on the family at what it means and how that being part shapes who you are I do not think up until this minute in my life I realize how important marriage is- gosh you could say I am a slow learner! I feel like some fool looking for the meaning of life when all the time it was right in front of me sometimes we are so rapped up in the future what will happen when that we miss what really is import that is what is here right in front of you. Enough later x

Clinical Bound

I am back at Hyden Kentucky for clinical bound it is an other step closer to my goal. The week so far has been fine except I am missing my family so much , but this is another hoop I have to jump through to return to midwifery it has to be done.Hopefully but this time next year I will be looking back and wounder what all the fuss was about- well hopefully :)

Never say Never

so I am returning to OB - even though I said I would not what changed nothing really its just I miss birth, missed working 12 hour shifts and missed my family working 5 8 hour shifts just did not work for me - so on I move back to OB :)

School is going Ok I am getting tired and feel burnt out but I am so close nearly back where I belong catching babies .......... Family life is busy boys keep us going heading towards the holidays my thoughts go to our families 5000 miles away.

No Longer OB Nurse

So I no longer work in the traditional ob Field - truthfully I jumped before I was pushed - I miss the friends I made but that's it - it was the best move for me I feel free and the next time I walk on to a OB unit it will be as a CNM ( USA Style) ! My new job is working with correctional health with in the jail system I am loving it female jail plenty of women's health and OB - plenty of work to be done its good for me.
School is ok just something I have got to get done and for some unknown reason it is twice as harder the second time round but I am over half way end is in sight:)

Term Four/ Camp Nurse

So I am in the middle of my annual camp nurse stint - camp nursing is defiantly not for the faint of heart but its fun - and most of all my boys love to be at camp.

we are just doing the three weeks this year- Its all I could afford whilst being at school.

Talking of school I am heading towards my fourth term and I think my half way point- wow time has gone fast.

Its all change in my world I am leaving OB for correctional health which will be a huge change but one I am looking forward to. Ok back to the emergent band aid!
