    I chose to do my I-search paper on Ronald McDonald House Charities because I have a personal interest in this charity. My interest comes from the birth of my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law learned that their child would be born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. The doctor’s explained that one in twenty-seven hundred babies are born with this. CDH is where there is a hole in the diaphragm and as the baby develops its organs, such as stomach spleen, intestines, and liver move up into the chest cavity putting pressure on the lungs. This causes the lungs to be under developed. They were told that the baby would be hospitalized for about three months. They were told to contact the Ronald McDonald House to make arrangements for a room after the birth of the baby. They were putting on a waiting list and were asked to let the manager of the RMHC at the University of Virginia know when they were at their due date.…

    NICU Cuddlers

    Twenty-three to thirty-four weeks is a small amount of time in order to develop into a fully functioning human being. When these small patients are born into this world they are most likely rushed into the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where they address their short development time as well as any underlying medical problems, whether they be associated with their development or not. These patients are our smallest and most fragile, but also some of our loneliest. Many times nursing units within hospitals are understaffed and the nurses simply do not have time to spend just holding or speaking softly to an infant going through treatment. This is where "NICU Cuddlers" come into play. These volunteer groups are starting to crop up in hospitals around…

    Have you ever thought about how difficult it is for a baby to be born without low birth weight, prematurity, or birth defects? After visiting the March of Dimes website I learned that over 460,000 newborns in the United States alone are born prematurely. I am a parent of a premature infant and I know firsthand how hard it is to get find answers and get assistance for a disabled child. I gave birth to my son at only 23 weeks of gestation. He was severely underdeveloped and required many surgeries. With the assistance of supportive organizations and medical research, the lifesaving surgeries were performed immediately. Afterwards I researched to find out just what organizations helped to fund the research needed for the surgery my child had undergone. I found that the March of Dimes, Mother’s March and WalkAmerica were just three of the well-known organizations in the United States, and around the world, that funded such research. Each of these organizations main focus is putting an end to prematurity and each work to make their name known through their individual websites.…

    Babies are born into the world every second and women and men become fathers too. A new mom and dad’s worst nightmare would be for their precious bundle of joy to become unhealthy. In the book, Tending Lives, Diane C. was a pediatric nurse that made house calls to underprivileged families. Diane had a patient who was born early with a cleft palate and his family situation was completely chaotic. Diane spent the night with her patient with the house invaded with cockroaches. However, Diane stayed with her patient because as a nurse she had to stand up for the baby and speak his needs. Eventually Diane got that baby out and responded, “With kids there was so much hope. They were so resilient” (Heron 143). Children do not understand what is wrong or why their bo bo hurts. Nurses have to speak for the children and understand what is wrong with them. Pediatric nurses must have patients along with love and compassion for kids. The children must be understood and have to be taken care of, just like the elderly.…

My life purpose; becoming a nurse, was revealed to me while comforting children with distended abdomens due to malnutrition and contaminated water, as well as elders with crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis.
