2. Daughter Refuses to Eat Meals

   Anna_Aus replied to Chevelle's topic in Pediatric

   My daughter is 22 months and we also have this problem. I never look forward to dinner time as I put the plate down in front of her and she digs her hands in, looks up at me and says "ohhh YUCK mummy" but now that she is old enough to understand th...

3. Nurses that give bottles to breastfeeding babies.

   Anna_Aus replied to at your cervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I don't think I agree with that "rooming in" policy where you dont get a choice! I had an emergency caesarian and for the first few days it was very difficult to get in and out of bed. My partner was working while I was in hospital so he could take ...

4. Missed a dose of antibiotics - what now?

   Anna_Aus replied to Anna_Aus's topic in Pediatric

   Well, we got through about 6 wks staying healthy and now she has another ear infection. Just wanted to get some opinions again.... the Dr has put her on antibiotics again and said to come back in 6 days because he thinks we'll have to do more than o...

5. Mammogram versus ultrasound

   Anna_Aus replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in Oncology

   My mum had a mammogram five years ago and they gave her the all clear. She asked for an ultrasound which found the cancer and she had a mastectomy (sp?) a week later. Five years on she is perfectly healthy :) On this topic, if you have breast cancer...

6. Missed a dose of antibiotics - what now?

   Anna_Aus replied to Anna_Aus's topic in Pediatric

   Thanks for your help - I ended up giving it to her when she woke up during the night with some milk and toast. I'm really starting to wonder what is wrong with her though. Today she has been miserable all day, screaming for hrs at a time. My dad ca...

7. Missed a dose of antibiotics - what now?

   Anna_Aus replied to Anna_Aus's topic in General Nursing

   I ended up putting her to bed because she was SO grumpy I couldn't bare it any longer. I figured if last night was anything to go by we'll be up most of the night anyway so I can give it to her when she wakes up. It's amoxil...I'm actually kinda disa...

8. Missed a dose of antibiotics - what now?

   Anna_Aus replied to Anna_Aus's topic in Pediatric

   Thanks for your help, but I really can't keep her up much longer. I've had enough trouble keeping her amused long enough to have dinner. She slept one hour today, and about 5hrs in the last 24hrs. It's driving me absolutely crazy but I guess it's ju...

9. Missed a dose of antibiotics - what now?

   Anna_Aus posted a topic in General Nursing

   I posted this in the paediatric forum but I dont think theres many people on there at the moment so thought I'd give it a shot here. Hi, I've just got a quick question. My daughter is 20 months old and on antibiotics three times a day, but this morni...

10. Missed a dose of antibiotics - what now?

    Anna_Aus posted a topic in Pediatric

    Hi, I've just got a quick question. My daughter is 20 months old and on antibiotics three times a day, but this morning I completely forgot to give it to her. I've been in a zombie like state all day after only getting 3hrs sleep. She had first dose...

11. 13 pound infant...thank goodness it was c-section!

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

    My daughter was 9lb 5oz two weeks early. I was measuring around 4 wks ahead from 30wks pregnant. No diabetes...just from a family of big babies, and yes I'm already worried about the size of my future babies!!! My younger sister was 12lb 8oz and no...

12. How many classmates are in your class?

    Anna_Aus replied to PCGrad06's topic in General Students

    Ok, I'm a bit confused...I think the classes you are talking about must be different to ours. To begin with we had 350+ enrolled, I can't remember exact numbers. The lecture hall where we have our Anatomy & Physiology lecture holds just over 300 ...

13. Thinking ahead - Jobs!

    Anna_Aus replied to Anna_Aus's topic in International

    Thanks for your help so far! I'm definately hoping to get a decent prac in paediatrics at some stage in this course..so I guess I'll just have to cross fingers! I'm at QUT...I guess I'll try to talk to someone there and see what info they can give me...

14. Thinking ahead - Jobs!

    Anna_Aus posted a topic in International

    Hi, I'm wondering if any fellow Queenslanders can give me any info about jobs after graduating...and anyone from NSW feel free too because I might just move back to Sydney..who knows! I'm doing Undergrad Nursing at the moment, but I'm wondering about...

15. Mothers - Is nursing school realistic for me?

    Anna_Aus replied to Natalieboo's topic in General Students

    I think if you have the motivation and support it is possible. I'm 21 with an 18 month old daughter and have started full time Nursing at Uni this year. I'm in Australia, so I'm not sure what your program would be like over there. This semester I've ...
