Kevin MD posted about a nursing student who was expelled for blogging about a child birth she witnessed. I encourage you to read his post, as I am too lazy to summarize it:
http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2009/10/nursing-student-expelled-blogging.html
After going through several links, I finally found the original blog post:
http://www.pageonekentucky.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/yoder1.pdf
There are certainly some things in Yoder's (the nursing student's) post that can be considered mildly objectionable. However, I don't see why everyone is getting so excited about her description of the newborn child. All the blogs discussing Yoder quote these lines:
“a wrinkly, bluish creature, all Picasso-like and weird, ugly as hell, covered in god knows what, screeching and waving its tentacles in the air,”
However, no one quotes the line immediately following:
"15 minutes later it turned into a cute pink itty bitty little baby girl"
I'm glad Nina Yoder won her lawsuit against the University of Louisville.

totally unrelated to this post, but I came upon your website when i googled boards and fail. i'm about to retake child psych boards this coming weekend, which totally sucks. i'm just wondering if you finally passed your psych boards?
anon:
yes, I passed in 2007.
good luck with your child psych boards. Hopefully you'll pass this time, but if you don't google "Beat the Boards"
Hi,
This is the assistant editor for Hospital.com which is a medical publication offering hospital news, information and reviews. We also cover a wide variety of medical topics, some of these articles being relevant to nursing schools and issues around their prospective students (scholarships, grants, etc). We are in the process of giving the nursing industry a dedicated section from our site and are currently seeking online resources which can be offered to our readers of this section. If possible I would like Hospital.com to be included within your blog roll, offering our information as a resource to your readers and essentially building a relationship between our sites. Please let me know if this addition can be made, Thanks!
Please email me back with your URL in subject line to take a step ahead and to avoid spam.
Thank you
