There is an easier way to do these. 18 - 3 1/3 = 14 2/3 Borrow one from the 18 and put it in the fraction column as 3/3. Remember one can be expressed in fraction form as any number/same number...

I had the nurse tell me that my baby was a biohazard, as she was trying to get me to agree with letting her bathe the baby. Yeah, well since he was inside of me, guess that makes him my biohazard! ...

What if mom says no, she will bathe the baby? I had a nurse with my 3rd baby tell me that I couldn't bathe my baby (I gave the other two their 1st baths) because that is when she did her assessment....

Population in Circumcision AIDS prevalence thousands Country rate(%) per 100,000 (1990) ...

What bothers me is that another nurse had to find you a gown and face shield. I bet that causes some resentement, as you should have gotten them yourself. Otherwise, I think as long as you are...

I think for babies that being uncirced is more hygenic. I have two little boys and nothing ever got under the foreskin. They have never had a UTI. And I never retract it. They can do it when they...

I feel your pain. When my husband got laid off in 2001, I was 8 months pregnant. Luckily, the company paid the insurance for 2 months. We also had a very low mortgage payment. However, like many...

I am not sure how long ago that was but luckily they can't do that now. You must have a chance to appear in court and a court order has to be issued to feeze assets. Except maybe for Mr. Taxman and...

Employers can refuse to hire you because of bad credit but not bankruptcy. Under the Bankruptcy Act it is illegal for non-governmental employers to discriminate on the basis of bankruptcy. ...

I don't think she actually laughed. Just wanted too.

I did tell the teacher when I dropped my daughter off at school. She is going to talk to the parents, while keeping my daughter's name out of it. She is also going to ask the school nurse to come...

My 1st grader came home yesterday and told me a classmate almost passed out and she had to help her. When I asked her what happened she said the little girl was choking herself!!! These are 6 and 7...

Imitrex can be pretty nasty, imho. I had a shot of it once and felt like my head was on fire. You know like when your hand falls asleep and then "wakes" back up. The pain was worse than the...

I think it is unfair to present the option to the mom while the student (male or female) is in the room. Let the mom decide without feeling any pressure. I did have a student (female) when I had my...

Wow, I hadn't either. I am always joking that I want a caffiene IV. Gosh I could really become a frequent flier with that available. About 2 or 3 times a year, I have been getting migraines so...

I doubt if anyone will hire him without RN experience, so he may just be in for a rude awakening. If you look at ads for NP's they want a number of years working as an RN. From what I heard...

If you want to come home to your son every night, the military isn't for you. The military will always put their needs first. Like the others said, there is always the possibility that you will get...

Actually, it isn't mandatory. That is a myth. Parents can sign waivers for school, although unvaccinated children will not be allowed to attend during a breakout in which they are not vaccinated...

I will never use a new, "untried" vaccine on my children. I have always believed that vaccines start too early and therefore delay them until my kids are between 6-9 months. Mind you I was a...

I don't think it is only because of the mw. One of the thing about countries that follow a midwife model of care is that prenatal care is cheap and easier to access. So using more midwives equates...

Actually MW births usually carry less risk for mother and child in a low-risk pg and birth, and when MD backup is available for high-risk situations that could develop. I did a paper on it when I...

I guess the post just rubbed me the wrong way, especially that no one but a MD should give advice to pg women. What about RN's and CNM's? Most women who opt to have low intervention and no pain...

Asking about pain is one thing. But when a mom has said "Don't offer me pain meds, I will ask" then no one should be asking if the pt wants pain meds every hour. I am not talking about discussing...

By trying to force women to see it "your" way you are using the same tactics as those you describe as nature nazis. It is possible to have a birth without pain meds (if a woman so chooses) or other...

thanks for the great article.
