    hamlj posted a topic in General Nursing

    hamlj replied to hamlj's topic in General Nursing

  10. Placenta issues - desperate for help

    hamlj replied to worriedmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi I'm not an o/b nurse (that's my long term goal) but I did loose two babies...so I understand your concern. It is very possible that the placenta will move up. I'd say for now you can rest assured...

    hamlj replied to hamlj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi I've looked into both scenarios too. I have my degree in ECE, but have wanted to go back for nursing for quite some time. I figured all along I'd get my BSN, but after much thought...I'm going to...

  14. Nervous About CNA Classes

    hamlj replied to Princess_WannaBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree 100%. I just finished my cna class last night, and I passed the state exam this morning. I've been taking pre-req's for the RN program the past few semesters...and this was a piece of cake...

  15. What are the best shifts if you have kids?

    hamlj posted a topic in General Nursing

    I guess my title said it best. If you have kids in school, is it better to work nights, and sleep when there in school? Or, is it easier to work 7-3, and get before school care? If so, then what do...

  16. What are the best shifts if you have kids?

    hamlj replied to hamlj's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the input. I'll be working as a CNA, and in January will be taking more classes towards my RN, so I wanted to see what worked out the best while juggling kids. I think nights/weekends will...

  17. Something all OB nurses should know.

    hamlj replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You are so right. My grandmother delivered a stillborn baby in her 6th month in 1950. She was telling me the story when I was in highschool after I asked her why she only had three kids (dumb question...

  18. Something all OB nurses should know.

    hamlj replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OH, that's a huge pet peeve of mine too. With my 14 week loss, they kept saying "product of conception" in reference to the chromosomal testing we had done. Then they told me it was a boy, so it went...

  19. Something all OB nurses should know.

    hamlj replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow, what touching stories. In my opinion... if you work in L&D, and have been through a loss, maybe just a statement like "I have been there, and I understand, so if you want to talk let me...

  22. LNA's Salary...Hospital or LTC???

    hamlj replied to NHmommy's topic in General Nursing

    I just heard tonight that pay is in the $9-12 dollar range for new graduates. Personally, I wouldn't choose a job for what pays the best, or what place will re-imburse you. Go with the place you think...

  23. LNA School in Dover or Manchester?

    hamlj replied to Angela1336's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this whole heartedly. I'm going to LNA Health Careers in Manchester and I've had no problem. I wouldn't even say it's been dull (well, except for the first night). Dorrie Smith is the...
