   dylansmama replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I also had these "requests" for my birth, but expect the unexpected!! I had a midwife, and a big 'plan' for natural, bla, bla, bla.... needless to say, it didn't work that way, and at the time YOU WILL NOT CARE! In my future pregnancies, I will have ...

3. Resident's right to refuse? Or NO right to refuse?!

   dylansmama replied to Chanzes MiMi's topic in General Students

   I don't do anything if the patient refuses...just document it. I would report the instructor. My rule of thumb is, if you don't feel comfortable with something...don't do it. I was in clinical in a nursing home, and witnessed things that the CNA's ...

7. What makes Nursing school so hard?

   dylansmama replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Students

   Everyone in my nursing program are 4.0 students. EVERYONE is struggling. It's not memorizing...it's concepts. It's extremely fast paced. The whole degree is unlike any other type of degree. If you're avoiding math, I would think twice about nursing.....

   dylansmama replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

   I got one last week....I'm in nursing school, and have an 18 month old son who just started daycare. He's getting one in a few weeks. I don't have the time or the money for either of us to be laid up with the flu.
