   greenivy replied to jincyjoseph's topic in Student Assist

   Hi, How are you preparing now? I am taking pathophysiology online (would not recommend that!!! it's really tough). I started by reading chapters and writing my own summaries but that took tons of time. Now I read the chapter summaries and write 3 ...

   I graduated from college in 1990 with a gpa of 2.26 (majoring in beer/boys...) I had to beg to the higher powers to let me graduate. Now, I have completed all of my prereq's with the exceptions of pathophysiology and pharmacology and I have a 4.0 ...

   greenivy replied to court519's topic in Ob/Gyn

   When my labor progressed very rapidly at about 10:00pm (long after my midwife went home) the nurse on duty checked me and I was dilated to 10cm. I did feel the urge to "bear down" and push and while someone else was on the phone calling the midwife,...

7. who really uses PDA software for nursing school?

   greenivy replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Students

   what kind of pda's do you use and how do you get the software? Do you download off of a regular computer? I'm a nursing student (starting in May) so I don't know what our clinical hospital will have to offer, if anything. I'm really intrigued that...

8. What type of pain med in labor used?

   greenivy replied to Daynamyte's topic in Ob/Gyn

9. Neonatal Relocation Stress

   greenivy replied to odessakl's topic in NICU

   Is there a thing about 35 weekers? I have heard that from a pre-nursing o/b tech (who didn't know as much technically but had seen much) but didn't think much of it till I had my own 35 week baby. I did have my baby at "altitude" (3500+ft) which co...

10. Question for YOU!

    greenivy replied to StevenRN's topic in Pediatric

    Hi! I'm wondering why there aren't more replies yet?? Is it that difficult to come up with an answer? I'm a nursing student (starting in May) and I get the usual dubious looks ( you want to go to school for WHAT???) and my number one goal is to ...

11. What type of pain med in labor used?

    greenivy replied to Daynamyte's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you!!!!!!!! I am concerned that my pro natural birth stance is going to bite me in the a$$ when I start nursing clinicals (in May). I've had two babies naturally and believe in what the female body is capable of. I was soooo adamant about not...
