   mommy2g1b replied to Crouton2004's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Heartland Community College offers it online, and it's in IL (down in Normal). www.heartland.edu

2. Elective Primary C/S

   mommy2g1b replied to Gem97's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I agree with you Gompers. I have had 2 c-sections and 2 vaginal deliveries (with only small amounts of nubain). I will take the pain of a natural labor over the pain and nastiness of an incision infection that takes weeks to heal (not to mention the ...

3. c/section scar

   mommy2g1b replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

   There are rumors that she had a tummy tuck done at the same time. Not sure I believe that though. Her scar does look big, but her baby is only just over a month old I believe, so maybe that's why. I don't remember mine looking like that either.

4. To all parent students: Are your kids making things hard or are they little angels?

   mommy2g1b replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   He sounds a lot like my daughter. She's 10, but we have been dealing with this for years. She's extremely smart, she just can't buckle down and do the homework. Have you had him evaluated for ADHD? How does he do in school? Can he stay on task there?...

5. Deprovera side effects

   mommy2g1b replied to nurstudnt546's topic in General Nursing

   I was on Depo for just over a year. It was great at the beginning...no periods...wohoo! Then the anger started. Not just little mood swings, but RAGE inside of me. I wanted to scream at people, and my patience for my children was just non-existent. S...

6. Nursing School Admission requirements are they fair?

   mommy2g1b replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in General Students

   The school I am doing my pre-reqs in (and hopefully eventually their nursing program) uses a point system instead. You get so many points for your GPA, so many for having your CNA or LPN, so many for certain classes you have taken, etc. Personally, I...

7. Looking for opinions

   mommy2g1b posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have wanted to go to nursing school for awhile now, and I am currently doing all of my pre-req's for the programs at my Community College. However, I have a problem. I have 3 herniated discs in my back (L3-4, L4-5 and L5-S1). My Dr suggested that I...

8. Elective Primary C/S

   mommy2g1b replied to Gem97's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I disagree. I think that the reason that many women are getting sectioned is because the believe that the Dr knows best, and will follow whatever he says, and they don't ever question the Dr, and many don't even know that they can refuse things. i o...

9. Does your facility do VBAC's?

   mommy2g1b replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I think it's sad that so many hospitals don't allow VBAC. I guess I was lucky when my last was born...no one even suggested another section, even though I had already had 2 (I had section, vaginal, section, vaginal).

10. Eleven pound baby!

    mommy2g1b replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I chatted with a woman several years ago that had an 11lb 2oz boy naturally. She stood all of 5'1". She said it really wasn't a huge deal for her. She was *maybe* a size 2....I told her I couldn't imagine a woman her size giving birth to such a big b...
