  2. Venting and Sub-par Programs

    OP, You don't say how long you have been in the program. Are you less or more than half way through the curriculum? Someone earlier posted that you should look up your school's NCLEX rate and that is good advice, but there is something you should kno...
  3. Thanks. . .appreciate the response. . .
  4. What does this have to do with our discussion about C/S???
  5. Oh, my, such neanderthals. The risk of severe respiratory complications after C/S are 5 times higher for the newborn, and elective primary C/S is known to increase the risk of placenta acreta necessitating a C/S-hysterectomy (rate is 1:1000). These t...
  6. Keylimesqeez. . .the circumstances for your birth were totally different. Malposition. . .you couldn't have foreseen or controlled. I am so sorry that you didn't have the birth you anticipated. This information is directed at caregivers who elective...
  7. Finally. . .no more support for admissions and induction for "Tired of Being Pregnant" with a dubious due date because there was no menstrual history upon which to base the EDD and the ultrasound was performed after 24 weeks.

  11. Scrubs

    OK, some of you who are so blase' about uniforms need to read this from the Wall Street Journal. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123137245971962641.html It doesn't matter if they are on their way to work. I wouldn't want someone caring for me who had...
  12. 75 questions and failed. HELP PLEASE!

    The NCLEX is not a test of knowledge. It IS test to find if the test taker can make a safe decision for care based upon the information presented in the question. It is not a test of memorized content, but IS a test of how the content learned in nurs...
  13. The attire debate - what should nurses wear?

    That's interesting! I was an Air Force Reservist and was activated for Desert Storm to back-fill (replace state-side folks who were immediately activited to go to the "front"). We were ordered to wear camoflage to show solidarity with those of our br...
  14. You will get your first nursing "job" based upon your nursing education, not your MBA, although it might be useful after you have some experience because the MBA skills would be helpful as a manager, supervisor or CNO (chief nursing officer).
  15. i did not say it was aprn preparation, what i said was it was an advanced practice level of education. copied from the aacn website: the cnl is an advanced generalist clinician with education at the master's degree level. graduate education is necess...
