1. Nursing vs the media

   mommyRN07 replied to mommyRN07's topic in General Nursing

   I just went and wrote letters to Grey's, House, and ER. I feel productive

2. Nursing vs the media

   mommyRN07 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I was just reading another thing about this, but it made me think of how disgustingly nurses are represented by our media. Example #1) House MD. Sort of entertaining, but oh my lord, most offensive...

3. How many got 5 or more all that apply

   mommyRN07 replied to sistersweet's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I had several all-that-apply, at least 8, and I passed with 75 questions. They are high-level questions, I personally feel they are the highest level (don't know if that's accurate) and I don't think...

4. Can an unborn baby have an allergy?

   mommyRN07 replied to nursing_student_34's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Interesting. I would've said no right off the bat. I guess it depends on which theory you go by, as I know pediatric immunologists who wholeheartedly deny that a child can develop true allergies...

5. Danskos?

   mommyRN07 replied to maggijo's topic in General Students

   I love my Danskos. The first week of wearing them was odd, and I got shin splints, which a lot of people have also said they got at first. Once I got used to wearing them, so very comfortable. If...

6. TB-PPD info/HELP please

   mommyRN07 replied to Houstonnurse's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

   This isn't a question, but I like to warn them that the wheel will appear, and also that if the area becomes red, that does not mean it's positive. I've had people totally freaked out just because...

7. Terminations vs Fetal Demises

   mommyRN07 replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

   The docs don't go? That's not very nice. I know they can't help the baby but that's kind of stinky for the mom, who is also a patient. I would feel abandoned if that were me. Of course, I always...

8. Online RN programs?

   mommyRN07 replied to newbie12345's topic in Online Distance Learning

   I'm sure there are several prerequisites you could get out of the way online. However, for an initial RN license, I have never heard of a program that doesn't require clinical hours. Doesn't mean...

9. Terminations vs Fetal Demises

   mommyRN07 replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

   If a mom is 21-22 weeks with PROM, they can try to do that, and sometimes they are able to prolong the pregnancy to a more viable point. However, there is the risk of infection, and at that point,...

10. Does This Send the Wrong Message?

    mommyRN07 replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Pregnant women are allowed to be a little oversensitive. And you're (obviously) allowed to state your opinion, whether you are being sensitive or not. You asked a question, and I gave my opinion....

11. Does This Send the Wrong Message?

    mommyRN07 replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My feeling is you are being too sensitive. Seriously, if someone looks at a ticker on a website and decides to use that information to try to induce their own pregnancy, I have no sympathy for them,...

12. Does This Send the Wrong Message?

    mommyRN07 replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It's a little political. However, when I was pregnant, I felt somewhat relieved to know that if for SOME reason I was to go into labor that day, there would be a possibility of survival. No one wants...

13. Am I too old to start a nursing career?

    mommyRN07 replied to toledogal's topic in Nursing Career

    Nursing school is difficult at any age. That said, age aint nothing but a number. I know 45 year olds who are in better shape than 20 year olds. I know 45 year olds who are on their death bed. If...

14. anyone here NOT take an NCLEX review class and still passed? how did you do it?

    mommyRN07 replied to Liz21's topic in General Nursing

    I did not take any review classes. I did tons of questions from NCLEX books. I tried to focus on the books that came with CD-ROMS. I passed 1st time, 75 questions, so obviously I was glad to not...

15. Why NP and not PA?

    mommyRN07 replied to GirloftheSun's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In the place where I work, the PAs must have their notes signed off by an MD. The NPs do not. That is the big difference I notice between having your own license and not. Honestly I don't think I'd...
