    JeanettePNP replied to gerryNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    My midwife has privileges at St. Vincent's and she says it's one of the most natural-birth friendly hospitals

  2. Best school to take Pre Reqs???

    JeanettePNP replied to jandramauri's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm taking prereqs at Medgar Evers. The schedule is good especially if you work; they offer lots of night and weekend classes. The level is not very hard, which may or may not be a benefit for you....

  4. shootings and mental health

    JeanettePNP replied to snowfreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I think there needs to be a police unit especially trained to deal with mental health crises, so if a mentally ill person needs to be restrained for the safety of himself or others, this can be done...

  5. Nurses: Failure rate of courses perplexing - Jackson Clarion Ledger

    JeanettePNP replied to Nursing News's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to say that it does not surprise me that many students fail out of nursing courses. I am currently taking pre-reqs in a community college. The one course that I'm taking now is Chemistry....

  6. Interesting places where women have given birth

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I heard on the news this morning that the Triboro Bridge was shut down because of a woman giving birth on the bridge. Made me wonder--what are some of the most interesting places you've heard of or...

  7. Home birth vs. hospital

    JeanettePNP replied to rnmi2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The problem is that many of the mechanisms that allow a mother to have a comfortable, relatively painless labor without drugs are simply not available in the hospital. It's important to achieve full...

  8. As nurses, Do We "OverHelp?" Can we Change?

    JeanettePNP replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    You wanted to discuss overhelping and I wanted to address your point about googling. Anyone else who'd like to add their thoughts about overhelping is welcome to do so. I'm sorry my intrusion in...

  9. As nurses, Do We "OverHelp?" Can we Change?

    JeanettePNP replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I do understand your point, and my point is that if you'd rather not answer simple questions that could be answered by googling, you don't have to. Maybe to the person asking it, it wasn't all...

  10. As nurses, Do We "OverHelp?" Can we Change?

    JeanettePNP replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to respond to the part about googling. I don't consider it "overhelping" to answer someone's question instead of sending them to google. I find it annoying and condescending when someone...

  11. 21 weeker going home!!!

    JeanettePNP replied to 2curlygirls's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I thought the period is when last month's egg that *didn't* make it is flushed out of the system... Are you saying that the new egg starts maturing from the beginning of the period? I gotta brush up...

  12. I LOVE triaging.....

    JeanettePNP replied to ParrotHeadRN's topic in Emergency

    Can three-year-olds puke at will? I've known kids to stick their fingers down their guts for fun but never met a three-year-old who could puke at the suggestion

  13. website -- doctor-rating --problems

    JeanettePNP replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    This doctor sounds oversensitive to me. If she's confident in her skills and abilities, why should she be "devastated" that out of all her former patients, eight left negative ratings on a website?...

    JeanettePNP replied to pyseymo's topic in Cardiac

    I am sorry for your loss. I know that no time is ever the right time to lose a loved one, but given his health history this may have just been his time. Wishing you and your family much

    JeanettePNP replied to rnmi2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Who is "most of you"? Who is being lumped into random categories

  17. Home birth vs. hospital

    JeanettePNP replied to rnmi2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I get this in reverse.... I care nothing about the safety of my baby and only care about my own comfort and birth experience because I choose to have my baby naturally at home. Some people will just...

    JeanettePNP replied to rnmi2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Although you won't be back to read the responses, I'll respond anyway, for the benefit of other readers of this thread. The point of this thread was not to diss L&D nurses. Indeed, most (almost...

  20. Chemistry 2006/ 2007 Club***

    JeanettePNP replied to dreamBIG's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually not, the class that I'm taking is unfortunately a very rudimentary one that is barely above high school chemistry. But I bought myself a more advanced textbook and I'm wondering what the...

  22. Home birth vs. hospital

    JeanettePNP replied to rnmi2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The problem is that during labor is not a time when you want to be fending off persistent nurses who want to push procedures on you because "that's the way it's done." With my first birth I wasn't...

  23. canker sores

    JeanettePNP replied to sister--*'s topic in General Nursing

    Simplest and most effective remedy is wet tea bags. Regular tea, dipped in hot water, applied to sores. I once had canker sores really bad in the area of my wisdom teeth. Went to the dentist and he...

  24. Watch a webcast of an entire semester of A&P, Chemistry, or Biology from UC Berkeley.

    JeanettePNP replied to blueyesue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It may be true that it's a top ranked school, and it may very well also be true that students at Cal Berkeley are brighter than the average college student. I just don't see the point of the...

    JeanettePNP replied to blueyesue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anyone else find the smug attitude gets old after a while? "You're students in U-Cal Berkeley. That means you're smart. Very smart. And everyone in this room is just as smart or smarter than you...
