3. 4 years of school & 75 measly questions?

   becca.utns posted a topic in NCLEX

   I just took the NCLEX and it shut off at 75 questions. I wanted so bad to answer more to prove that I was not an idiot. Mainly they were priority and psych questions. I know everyone thinks they did bad when they finish, but I really think I did bad ...

4. What comments do you hear from OB's about birth plans?

   becca.utns replied to becca.utns's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks for the reply! I didn't think many OB's had this attitude, maybe it was because the location of the hospital I had my clinical. It was in a poor part of town and many of the moms were teens. Maybe the OB's didn't see too many birth plans. Obvi...

5. What comments do you hear from OB's about birth plans?

   becca.utns posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I was just wondering... When I was in my L&D rotation in school the OB's I worked with would be very condescending with any woman who gave them a birth plan. Usually it was behind the mom's back. Why do OB's do this? I could understand it if mom ...

   becca.utns posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi, I was just wondering... I keep reading about waiting for the cord to stop pulsating before it is clamped & cut and how this is a good thing. I never saw this being done in my rotation (I didn't think it was a big deal) and haven't found a rea...

7. No slamming me please!!!

   becca.utns replied to jkaee's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Congratulations on your pregnancy! I just wanted to add that I smoked a pack a day for 5 years and could not quit. I tried the patch and the gum, neither worked for me. I would actually chew two pieces of Nicorette and was still dying for a cigare...

8. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

   becca.utns replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

   When I had to do this I remember thinking, "OMG, like I don't know how to give someone a bath, is this necessary?" But now after graduating, I think it is actually a good idea! You really learn how important it is to shut the door and draw the curta...

   Lady Jezebel, if you go to http://www.hypnobirthing.com there is a discussion board and that question has been asked several times with many different helpful replies. I had that question also and basically there are many people who have just read th...

    becca.utns replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    This has nothing to do with what you are saying :zzzzz , but how you are saying it. I am not a student nurse anymore (thank god!!!!), however you are not making student nurses look very good. I'm not only talking about your attitude but your SPELLIN...

13. Is anyone else terrified of the cadavers?

    becca.utns replied to luckymichelle's topic in General Students

    Wow, I think my Anatomy Lab would have been much more beneficial if we were able to learn with cadavers. After all I am not going to be taking care of a cows eye, a fetal pig, and a cat in a few months. But then again we had a few 'losers' in lab (I...

    Thanks for your opinions and experience!!! :) I think I have a little too much time on my hands having just graduated and sittin' around waiting for my beautiful baby to arrive! During my L&D rotation in school I never saw an epis. being done ...

15. Episiotomy vs. Spontaneous laceration?

    becca.utns posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    All of the research I have read says that episiotomies are done frequently but moms do better without having one. I have also read research that shows moms who have episiotomies have greater incidence of 3rd & 4th degree lacerations, whereas moms...
