1. Nuva Ring questions

   OrigamiAirplane replied to texasnursingstudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

   The Nuvaring did not work for me at all. I hated it! I was on it for approx. 2 weeks and had about every side effect you could think of despite blood clots. For one thing I bled the whole time I was on it. I was extremely fatigued, had wierd emotiona...

4. New Grad in the ICU/Feeling overwhelmed

   OrigamiAirplane replied to OrigamiAirplane's topic in CRNA

   Thanks for your understanding TennRN2004. I am no longer at the job I described above. The last straw was when my manager coaxed me into working two 12 hr day shifts right after two 12 hr night shifts, one day in between to sleep. I reluctantly said ...

8. New Grad in the ICU/Feeling overwhelmed

   OrigamiAirplane posted a topic in CRNA

   I just started in the MRICU at the hospital I had clinicals in. I got the job and passed my boards. It feels good to check those off of a long list of things to do in preparation for CRNA school. I was so excited when I started, the enthusiasm has ...

    OrigamiAirplane replied to OrigamiAirplane's topic in CRNA
