My Name is Meredith, I am an RNC, which stands for Registered Nurse Certified. ( Not Certifiable : ) ) I currently work in Obstetrics-Labor and Delivery, Triage, SCN-Special Care Nursery and PP-Postpartum for 10 years now. Before that I worked in a Step down from SICU-Surgical Intensive Care Unit, Cardiac and Vascular surgeries mostly with telemetry ( Cardiac Monitoring ) for 4 years. Previous to that I worked for 1 year on a General Medical Surgery floor, with EVERYTHING under the sun ! At the beginning of my career I worked at a nursing home and a school for multipley handicapped children for about 2 1/2 years.
I’ve wanted to be a nurse for as long as I can remember, although I couldn’t give you any specifics as to why. My father has a picture of me in my Aunt’s nurse’s cap when I was about 8 or 9 years old. Maybe that influenced my desire to be a nurse. All through high school I took college prep. I went to nursing school right out of high school and graduated with my Associates Degree in Nursing when I was 20.
Although I’ve worked in many fields, I consider OB my specialty. I am now an RNC in Maternal Newborn Nursing. Thats a HUGE exam after much studying. I also teach Childbirth Education classes and help with leading a new Postpartum Depression Support group, titled ” A brighter tomorrow.” I felt especially led to help with this, as I suffered through PPD after my sons birth and there was no such thing as a support group for it then.
I also was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, IDC- Invasive Ductal Incarcinoma, had surgery and followed by Chemotherapy and Radiation. That was a treat !
I hope to be a help to all women in any way I can through this blog, god bless.
