1. Why do some nurses do this? And why are they allowed to?

   eng_nurse replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

8. Working night shift and eating-how do you do it?

   eng_nurse replied to eng_nurse's topic in General Nursing

   That is terrible. Did you have to quit nights or did your body finally adjust? Or did you have to keep drinking supplements? All of these posts are helpful. I am one that doesn't snack generally and I try not to eat after 8 PM, but I guess that wi...

   eng_nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   To all the night shift nurses, this may sound like a dum question, but what are your eating habits when you work night shift? I have been told by several people that working night shift tends to put on the lbs. Currently, as a nursing student in an...

15. How safe are IUD's?

    eng_nurse replied to eng_nurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yikes! 6 weeks of antibiotics. A friend of mine told me she saw a 28-yr. old girl die from sepsis related to an IUD. That is really scary and getting pregnant when you think you have an adequate birth control method would be quite a shocker too.
