  1. PLEASE HELP... starting the night shift

    Where there's a will, there's a way! I'm 38 years old and started working night shift a year ago when I got my first nursing job. I had a three month old at home at the time who we just didn't want to put into daycare. I worked the weekends and cam...
  2. Pregnant while in nursing school.

    I agree. It can definitely be done. I was pregnant through the last two semesters of my ASN and I took my boards three weeks before giving birth. I had an extremely easy pregnancy; I managed to go to school, work full-time and be pregnant. It's ...
  3. My Grandbaby's Head is Misshapen...

    Congratulations! My baby was born with a perfectly round head that flattened out nicely from all the back sleeping! The pediatrician sent us for some mild physical therapy (his case is not bad), but also said that the head shape can change up to...
  4. Positional plagiocephaly and massage

    Hi All - Thanks to everyone who responded - the information was helpful. We saw the PT on Wednesday and she's going to do a combination of neck massage and exercise to strengthen the neck and shoulder muscles evenly (she says there is an almost impe...
  5. Positional plagiocephaly and massage

    Siri - Thanks so much for your reponse...I looked at the links you provided. My son is 6 monts old and he actually has what I would say is brachycephaly - a very mild case. The doc states that his sutures are still open and the anterior fontanelle ...
  6. Positional plagiocephaly and massage

    Hi All - My son was diagnosed yesterday with a borderline case of positional plagiocephaly and the doctor ordered physical therapy as treatment. I'm wondering if any of you have seen this ordered and what the actual treatment is? I understand that...
  7. New Grad postions in the greater boston area

    I graduated in May, passed my boards in June. I applied for a position in mid-August with BIDMC in Boston (down near Fenway) - I had a baby in July, so I decided to wait to apply anywhere. I interviewed and was offered a position within a week of c...
  8. Working while in school

    ...for sure. I worked between 40 and 50 hours a week at a day job, went to school (taking at least 10 credits a semester) and was even pregnant for the last semester and a half. Of course, I had no life and my husband spent a lot of time complaining ...
  9. Thanks everyone for your answers! As you can see by my title line, I survived the exam, but it was pretty challenging. The room we were in was near 85 degrees and I'm 6 months pregnant, so I was REALLY uncomfortable. Despite the conditions, I blew...
  10. Hi Everyone - I'm leaving work in a few minutes to take the HESI exit exam. I don't know much about it, just that we have to take it and it's not required that we pass to graduate. If you take the HESI, is it required for graduation at your school? ...
  11. Can I have my first baby in my final semester at LCC?

    I am in the last semester of an ADN program and I'll be 32 weeks along with my first baby at graduation. In addition, I work a full-time job as a project manager. I'm managing to survive, but it's NOT easy. I didn't plan it this way, it kinda "happen...
  12. Allheart orders?

    You're not alone - I've placed multiple orders with them and received everything within days. Not a single problem yet! I have to admit, I'll be a little more cautious now...
  13. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    Actually, he's still legally married to Terri. Florida does not recognize common law marriage. According to the following website (and a couple of others) http://usmarriagelaws.com/search/alternative_lifestyles/common_law_marriages/index.shtml, the...
  14. APA format help needed

    Another great site to check out is www.referencepointsoftware.com. I got their APA formatting software for $25 and it couldn't have made my life any easier. If you can answer the questions, you'll get a perfectly formatted paper. Also, you can re-d...
