4. Patient didn't know she was pregnant

   colleen10 replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I think a lot of the thoughts that you and your co-workers are valid ones. I once worked in an office with a woman who kept her pregnancy secret, didn't tell a soul, not even her boss. One day she just doesn't show up for work and didn't return for ...

   No, my hair and the rest of me is normal. No more hair loss than what I usually have with brushing and drying. My hair doesn't appear brittle or dry. No weird rashes and nothing wrong with my toe nails either. The rest of me is absolutely normal e...

11. Medical record problem--a wee bit long....

    colleen10 replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to say that this whole situation is rediculous and if I were you I would have found a new doctor as well. To pay so you can come in and they can fix THEIR mistake is outrageous. In fact, I'm so spiteful that I probably would cancel t...

    I think a lot of it depends on what type of nursing program you are in and how you can schedule your classes. I am in a 2 year ADN program. I finished all of my pre and co-reqs before going into the program. So, basically the only thing I am taking...
