I am about to start a BSN program. I am a second-careerer with 3 kids. As I get closer to beginning, I get excited but also second-guess my choice. I feel pretty confident that I will like the work, but I understand that working nights is pretty much...

I have a question for you all. I am due to start a BSN program in the fall, and I am wondering how all of you felt about feeling like a novice again. I know for me, I am feeling a little nervous about this. I have always had a few mature students in ...

I have been accepted to nursing school in the fall. This is a career change (although I haven't worked in quite awhile. My question is this. I have a great life-style. I am able to stay home with my three kids and we travel alot. Money isn't an issue...

I am starting a nursing program in the fall and it has been a couple of years since I have taken A&P. Does anyone know anything about the ADAM software, and how good it would be as a way to refresh my memory on some of the basics? Thank you.

My last baby was born on Christmas. I was the only patient there. I left on the 27th and things started to up again.

I am not a nurse yet, but it seems that the placenta's function is to provide nutrition while in the womb as well as passing waste right? Out side the womb, the baby gets nutrition from breastfeeding or bottle (but obviously nature intended breastfee...

I am thinking about dropping a course, but would get a W. How bad does that look for graduate school applications? Does anyone know?

In the last month or so of my last pregnancy, if I got an hour of sleep a night I would be surprised. So when my baby was born, I was already exhausted and completely sleep deprived. The second night there, the nursery nurse didn't bring my baby in f...

I am currently in the same position as you, except that I have completed nearly all of the prereqs. I would say that the prereq classes should be no problem for you. I have a BA in English. I am going to get a second bachelors although I entertained ...

Is it possible to avoid working nights throughout one's career? I can hanlde weekends and holidays if I must, but working nights would kill me. Is it difficult to find good jobs that are day shift?

I know this may seem like a strange question, but has working as a nurse negatively affected your sex life? Since you are caring for people physically and also seeing alot of sick people, do you get home and feel like you don't want anyone near you? ...

You must read "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down." (nonfiction) I don't remember the name of the author. It is about a community in California that has a large Hmong population. There is a young Hmong girl with severe epileply. None of her fam...

I had a doula for my first child's birth. She was very good at helping me through a terrible labor. However, I did not get pain med and am not sure if this is because of the nature of my labor or if they were not offered because she was there. So, if...

Which do you all think is a better volunteer opportunity to check out nursing: (I am interested in working in OB). Working on the Maternity floor transporting patients, making beds, helping the nurses stock supplies. Working with the children helping...

I had a baby a few days ago and apparently after his head was delivered his shoulders got stuck. His heart rate went down to about 50 and he was stuck for about 2 minutes before he got out. My husband was completely freaked out by this (I had no idea...

I know this is a pretty old post but I had to reply because my friends and I were just recently talking about this. I am curious to know how many of you have read the book. I have a few friends who have used this method, as have I, and we all loved i...

I have posted in two other places but thought I would ask here too. Does anyone have a good resource discussing the causes of premature birth, physical conditions as well as behaviorial causes as well? Thank you very much.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a source that discusses the causes of premature birth, including medical conditions as well as behaviorial causes as well? Thank you. I am going to post this in ob-gyn and NICU also. Totally off topic, b...

I am currently sort of getting a second BS in nursing. I believe that at most schools you just need the prereqs and then the nursing courses. They don't make you do all of the GE classes. Although where I am they are requiring that I take 3 upper div...

I posted this in the student section but am hoping to get better responses here. I am considering attending a master's entry program for people who have a degree in a different field. You spend the first half getting the RN and then the second half g...
