My husband has always wanted to have a job where he felt like he was making a difference. He has recently made the decision to go back to school and become a Paramedic. I couldn't be more proud.
He completed the Basic EMT portion and today is his first day of clinicals! And, as an L&D nurse, I love that his first clinical is in labor and delivery. He is doing a 12 hour shift at a county hospital. I can't wait to hear how his day went. Way to go, Mr. H2! Just watch out for the fluids ;) Amniotic baths are completely disgusting!

Texas Special Session
Governor Rick Perry is not allowing mob rule when it comes to the abortion legislation, which I whole heartedly support. As an L&D nurse I see fetal demises (naturally occurring) and it never ceases to amaze me how formed these babies are. I believe in life at conception (which many people argue), but no one can argue the tiny human 20 week gestation body. If they do then they deserve the title of 'murderer'. I have seen babies born alive, trying to live. How these women can stand and selfishly say that they are standing for women's rights is beyond me.
To the women that support abortion - You know what ladies - get over yourself. Grow up. You think you are old enough to have sex then pick your big girl panties back up off the floor and take responsibilities for your actions.
Do I believe that there are some horrible cases of rape and incest that occur? Yes. I have had a teenage patient that was raped and got pregnant. That young girl made the decision to keep her baby because she knew it wasn't the baby's fault. I have also had several patients recently who were working on their fifth or sixth pregnancy, but only had one living because the others were abortions. One of them even told me that she deserved to get an epidural this time because she managed to not have another baby since her first one. She got pregnant and then aborted the next three. Way to go. What a model of motherhood. The need for abortion due to rape and incest argument is very few and far between, but the abortion as a form of birth control is way too common.
The left is going crazy over Wendy Davis, the abortion loving, filibustering Congresswomen from Texas, but I believe this picture circulating around Twitter says it best:
I proudly STAND4LIFE!

New Computer Charting Go Live
I've worked the past three nights that we have done our 'go live' for our new computer charting system. I'm not really a drinker, but I just want to partake in some mind numbing refreshments for my night off tonight. My brain is a bowl of pudding oozing out of my ears. I'm pretty sure the program was designed by someone with ADD. Nothing seems like it is in a logical place for L&D charting and every time I tried to chart something there seemed to be a glitch. OMG. But it is what it is and this is the new way. The first night our central monitors went out at the nurse's station and the power went out in the patient rooms...so yeah. In a week I hope that the bug infestation is worked out and our educator can get us a bit more streamlined. For tonight, I am just glad not to have 5 to 10 extra computer IT type people hovering around while I am trying to provide patient care! I wish my coworkers good luck!

Powerchart Maternity Class
Okay, today was the second day of the power chart maternity class. I am pretty sure my brain melted out of my ears. There are probably some really good things about this charting system, but right now it really just gave me a headache, nausea and chest pain. At least I was already at the hospital. Anyways, the last day of the class is tomorrow. Our department's 'Go Live' date is not until the end of May. That gives me just enough time to forget everything.
Tomorrow is an all day practice day. Hopefully my patient, Strawberry Shortcake, will have an uneventful delivery and a completely legal chart.
