| Former nurse aid becomes obstetrics manager Mon, 19 May 2008 10:08:04 -0500 Amber Herman believes support is an important part of reaching goals. When she was a nursing student working as a nurse aid in The Medical Center’s nursery in the early 1990s, it was support from her family and coworkers that helped her make it through that tough time. “It could be a challenge sometimes, but you learn to make sacrifices,” she said. “It takes a lot of flexibility and sacrifices to make it work.” Now, the registered nurse is giving that support back to the staff. Nearly 18 years after she started working at the hospital, Herman is now obstetrics clinical manager. She began the position three weeks ago. “I assist and support staff in taking care of patients and make sure they have everything they need for the patients,” she said. “I will work with patients in an indirect way. It’s more assisting nurses and nurse aids and other ancillary staff to meet the expectations of the patients. I’m more behind the scenes.” The Bowling Green native had an interest in the health care field from a young age. “I liked taking care of people,” she said. “I tend to be a mother.” As she grew older, however, she thought she would to do something different. “I had also been interested in business in high school,” she said. “I went back to the idea of being a nurse in college.” Because she knew she wanted to work with children, she thought she’d be a pediatric nurse, but that changed. “I had a friend working in labor and delivery who was asked if she had contacts in the nursing field who were interested in working there,” she said. Herman went to Western Kentucky University, where she graduated with an associate’s degree in nursing in 1991. By this time, she was already a nurse aid at The Medical Center, where she started in 1990. “They were just getting the student nursing program up and started, so I was still working as a nurse aid,” she said. Herman’s duties included taking babies’ vital signs, bathing, feeding, diaper changes and patient education - many of the duties that are now assigned to registered nurses, she said. “It allows them to have more assessment time with the babies to make sure they’re transitioning well,” she said. Herman was a nurse aid for 18 months. She began working in the neonatal intensive care unit in 1992 and received a bachelor’s degree in nursing in 1994. She plans to begin studying for a master’s degree in nursing administration soon. “I plan on continuing my education and encouraging others to continue their education as well,” she said. While she won’t have as much hands-on interaction with the patients, Herman knows she will hear from staff and the patients themselves about their experiences. “It’s a different kind of satisfaction,” she said. Herman appreciates the ways her staff and family help her while she learns how to do her new job. “It’s a great place to work. I have received so much support and encouragement from everyone,” she said. “They’re making this a smooth transition for me.” |
| Clinic holds IBS study Mon, 19 May 2008 10:08:04 -0500 It’s a problem no one wants to talk about. The abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation could happen at almost any time, possibly causing embarrassment to many who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome. “It’s a condition of chronic abdominal pain associated with altered bowel habits in the absence of any organic disease such as structural abnormalities like ulcers or inflammation. It’s more of a problem with the way the bowel functions,” said Dr. Donald Rauh, a gastroenterologist at Graves-Gilbert Clinic. “The symptoms often wax and wane. Some people require medications to control it everyday. It can range from a minor inconvenience to incapacitating symptoms.” Some physicians at the clinic are conducting a clinical trial for the safety and effectiveness of a new oral investigative medication to treat diarrhea-prominent irritable bowel syndrome. Participants must be between the ages of 18 and 75 and have been diagnosed with this condition. They will receive study-related care, medication and lab tests at no charge. “Dr. Rauh and other Graves-Gilbert Clinic physicians have been involved with clinical research for several years now,” said Carole Wood, clinical research coordinator and registered nurse at Graves-Gilbert Clinic. “Due to their extended and in-depth involvement with drug and device studies, sponsors regularly contact the physicians with opportunities to participate in various subspecialty and general medical trials.” IBS is more common than most people think, Rauh said. “We see people every day with this problem,” he said. “It affects men and women but predominates in women two to one. We see it in the young and the elderly.” Most studies say 10 percent to 15 percent of the population has some symptoms, Rauh said. “Of people affected, not everybody seeks help. About 10 to 15 percent of people with symptoms seek evaluation and help,” he said. “Twenty-five to 40 percent of referrals go to gastroenterologists.” IBS - which is usually associated with and relieved by a change in bowel habits and often associated with things such as eating and stress - remains a mysterious disorder, Rauh said. “We don’t have a specific cause, although some studies suggest a hormonal influence,” he said. “IBS doesn’t have a specific blood test or laboratory study or x-ray study that diagnosis it. You have to rule out other causes of presenting symptoms before you make that diagnosis. You make it on the basis of a patient’s history and physical findings.” Because IBS has been studied extensively in the past 10 to 15 years, many patients can be helped whether the disorder is diarrhea or constipation predominant, Rauh said. Treatments can include changes in diet, fiber and medication. “There are some medications that treat some of the hormonal influences,” he said. “Treatment is evolving. New medications are being investigated all the time.” — For more information about the study, contact Wood at 780-0591. |
