7. 66 YO Woman Gives Birth

   Nurse Somebody replied to Nurse Somebody's topic in General Nursing

   I would dare say that any grandparent raising their grandchildren does it not out of out right desire to do so, but out of a sense of responsibility to the child that is neglected or abandoned by its parent. Not to say they don't love the child, and ...

8. More Strange Baby Names

   Nurse Somebody replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I went to college with a woman who started her family a little late in life. After she had the baby, she showed up on campus to introduce us all to "Candy Kane Lane". Yes, she had unfortunately decided her husband's last name was justification for ...

9. 66 YO Woman Gives Birth

   Nurse Somebody posted a topic in General Nursing

   Now folks, I am a firm believer in having babies, but I think that if you are old enough to retire, you might want to think about NOT starting a family. Why would you bring a child into the world that you most likely will not see graduate high schoo...

    Nurse Somebody replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I have always heard that if you get a odor of roses for no reason, you are being visited by the Virgin Mary. Don't know if I believe that one or not, but I haven't smelled roses like that before, either. Though I did smell my Mamaw's powder after s...

14. Hair

    Nurse Somebody posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am getting ready to find a nursing job, and would like some advice on hairstyles for work. I have long hair at present, and wear it either in a pony tail or in a twist, figuring it would help keep my shedded hair out of some one's food, bathwater,...

    :angryfire As far as I know, there was only one student in the last class who had to retake the nclex. However, I was part of a "special" class that was funded by the state, and I feel they really didn't make it as hard on us as it should have been. ...
