Can anyone please explain the difference between Primary Care and Research medical schools? Also, in your opinion, which type of school would be best for an aspiring pediatric oncologist?

Filed in The Category Pediatric Nursing
I have worked medsurg/oncology/CCU and some Peds. I have an ADN will complete my BSN in May 2012. I want a different job, any recommendations on what line I should try? I have applied for clinical manager positions in two places with home health agencies. I have not done home care so after getting me to the interview they both said “oh” well would you like to do home care, which I do not. I seem to be getting answers like ,”your only 24 or you don’t have enough experience yet.” I have a small child and currently work nights! It is getting tough.
Suggestions?

my mom who is also my pediatrician, wants me to drug my baby to sleep?
Filed in The Category Pediatrician Recommendations
my baby is very colickly, its been really diffcult to the extent that i passed out a few times from extreme exhuastion when i first had her (i also had a c-section and left the hospital the next day) as nobody was around to help me, my mom is a big shot pediatrician who’s terribly busy and my husband was having problems at work so i was kinda on my own but anyway i managed and i’m managing much better now and most nights i sooth her and we get to sleep for like 6 hrs which is fine by me. anyway i live in egypt, so healthcare is not really upto a great standard but all my family are doctors and my mom is my ped. her recommendation for my baby’s colic is drugs. wether colic drops, gripe water, i dont mind these as they are mostly safe but they dont work so she started advising me to give her antihestaminics to make her sleep. she even bought me one that contains a major tranquilizer. she says it’s perfectly alright and they do it all the time with very diffcult babies and she wont get used to it or anything she’ll outgrow it by the fourth months and i should help her to rest and rest myself. i’m totally against drugging my baby and i dont do it, i use soothing techniques and i try very very hard and she’s getting better. anyway, does this mean my mom is a bad doctor? should i not trust her anymore? its very diffcult for me as she’s one of the best and most famous ped. here and i cant go anywhere else cuz she is bound to find out and it would be disastrous between us and she’s the only one i have even though she’s very busy and doesnt really help so much but she’s the only one who is actually there apart from my husband ofcourse..and i dont wanna be judgmental but i think thats how she dealt with my crying and my lack of sleep when i was a baby so she insists i do the same..what should i do??
sadie, i don’t get what is odd in my profile..she did stay with me the first two weeks because i was very much in need of any help, she had the flue, was terribly busy, only saw her at night when she came to tidy up abit then sleep and she tried her best not to give the flu to my baby but it just happened so i dont really blame her for it she was only tryin to be there for me when there wasnt anyone else..also i didnt say i cant “ask” other doctors, i did ask a collegues of my mom in passing when they call to congratulate…but not “officially” asking…

Do you know anything about children’s vision therapy?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Therapy
We brought my son to a pediatric eye doctor today for his first full eye exam. The reason was that he is having a hard time with letter recognition and focusing on paperwork. The results were that he has 20/20 vision, but his eyes are not tracking properly. They said that he would need 10-15 weeks of vision therapy. We of course want the best for our son, however they said that insurance will not cover the 145.00 a session cost and like most people these days we struggle as it is. I want to make sure that this is something that is really going to help him, and not just one of those money making scams. When we asked if the therapy would correct the problem, they couldn’t give us a definite answer. They said more than likely it would help but there were no guarantees. For us to fathom spending almost 2000.00 in ten weeks on something that may or may not even help the problem is a hard concept to grasp. Has anyone else tried vision therapy? Has it worked for you?
I know I am being overly skeptical about the money scamming idea, but these days it seems like you have to be.
What must I do to validate my foreign physical therapy degree in the USA to be able to work there?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Therapy
Hi all, I’ve been thinking about pursuing a future working in the United States as a physical therapist. I think Florida is where I’m more inclined to go as I used to live there and I’m more familiar with the state.
I’m a U.S.A citizen myself. However, I am currently studying Physical Therapy in Costa Rica. Over here the degree is a 4 year program, which graduates me as a “general physical therapist” with knowledge in most or all areas of PT including hospitals, clinicas, rehabilitation, sports, neurologic, massage, pediatric, etc.
I would like to know what I must do to validate my foreign physical therapy degree in order to be able to work in the United States. I ask this because I’m sure there must be some differences in the “PT study program” from country to country. Should it be quite hard, or easy to be able to do so?
Thank you very much.
are there any nurses/doctors that can help me with my story’s timeline? i have a few questions?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Nursing

1. An ER doctor just finished her residency. How old would she be?
2. A peds doctor is two years out of his residency. How old would he be?
3. If a girl had Aspergers, could she be able to recite the spelling of any word from re-reading the dictionary?
4. If a girl had Aspergers and got into an accident, could she fall into a coma and have to have her head shaved, but then wave up?

Do speech pathologists earn into the six figures?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Hospitals
Not in public schools but those who work in hospitals or other rehabilitation organizations…
What about pediatric speech pathologists?
Also, what opportunities for advancement are there in this field?
Ownpool- thanks for your answer.
Do you know if speech therapy coupled with aba training (applied behavioral analysis for autism) is a good way to go with this?
Doctors are confusing me about my 5 week old?
Filed in The Category Pediatrician Recommendations
My daughter is almost 6 weeks old. She was on Enfamil Lipil for her first week. She had constant bms, about 10 times a day. Then she was on soy and lactose free formula which gave her painful gas. So then she was on gentlease until last Friday. She is now on Alimentum. I had told her pediatricians that she was allergic to milk, but they would not listen. I also told them she has acid reflux but they again didn’t listen. Last Thursday, she was screaming bloody murder for over a hour and I couldn’t get hurt to calm down. It was her feeding time, but she refused the bottle and continued to scream. I took her to an after hours pediatriciacs center at the recommendation of my pediatrician. They told me she definately has a milk allergy, acid reflux, an ear infection & a sore throat. However, my pediatrician did not allow for her to prescribe the drops for the acid reflux as they wanted to. So I took her to her pediatrician the next day & they said she didn’t have an ear infection. But they
said she does have a milk allergy and to put her on alimentum. They wouldn’t prescribe the acid drops. So my husband and I decided to get another opinion. We took her to an allergist. He said she does have an ear infection and prescribed the acid drops. Now I just spoke to her pediatrician and they are trying to say she doesn’t have acid reflux. She has constipation. Which she definately does not have. She did not have a bm on Saturday, but that was the first time ever. And she did not go because she is adjusting to the formula. And they do not believe she has an ear infection.
