Your Baby Is Not a Doll

The goal of this book is to help develop a new emotion, calm. This new emotion will develop from a newly founded awareness of subjects not previously known. Let's turn your 'I didn't think of that' into 'Yes, that has been taken care of'.

Shayla is a certified, registered nurse originally from Birmingham, Alabama. After completing her bachelor's degree in biology from Tennessee State University, Shayla slightly changed healthcare tracks and completed an accelerated nursing degree program at Samford University, earning her second Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. Shayla was quickly recognized among her peers as an exceptional nurse and was asked to train newly hired nurses. This experience opened Shayla's eyes to a great passion she didn't know existed: teaching. She acquired certifications in maternal-newborn nursing and lactation counseling. After a few years of bedside nursing, Shayla received her Master of Science in Nursing Education Degree from Walden University. Shayla's passion for teaching has helped shape novice and transitional nurses ready for practice in the world of maternal-newborn and obstetric nursing. She hopes to motivate and guide expectant parents on how to make informed decisions.
