  1. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I grew up in a rural area and very often, the anesthesia was on-call. I often think about cases like that where emergency doesn't even begin to describe it, and by the time they get in their car to...

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Evefox1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  5. car seats

    BSNtobe2009 replied to babycatcher2B's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wonder about the "certified experts". I took the advice of the NICU and took the car seat to get an inspection, and I attached it to the letter of the instructions, and they didn't even touch it and...

  6. Is there REALLY a nursing shortage?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in General Nursing

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General World

    Ok, if he is native born, that was my main concern, if he was native Italian and you had your baby over there. Considering he has never been over there, I most definitely wouldn't do it. It's just...

    BSNtobe2009 replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in General Nursing

    I went on the nursing website of one state and they had 126 nurses in ONE MONTH to get their licenses either revoked or suspended. No wonder the hospitals are

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General World

    I have also heard the USA doesn't recognize dual citizenship past the age of 18 years, and they stopped that practice years ago. Not to be pessimistic, but there are legal reasons why I wouldn't do...

    BSNtobe2009 replied to MYRN2016's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I have never attended a college that would grant a 100% refund past the 1st full week of classes. $14K a semester? I about had a stroke when I read

  17. Time Management in school.

    BSNtobe2009 replied to moomoo111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel your pain, I'm moving in with my father and my 2 year old! I haven't lived at home since I was 18, and that was 19 years ago. Do you have alot of expenses? I would try going to school...

  20. How do I get my child to take medicine?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    I just think that is less traumatic than holding a child down and squirting medicines in their mouth and holding their noses and forcing them to swallow. Meds should never be a fight, and even though...

    BSNtobe2009 replied to ItsyBitsySpider's topic in Pediatric

  22. Curious about birth control

    BSNtobe2009 replied to eden's topic in Ob/Gyn

    BSNtobe2009 replied to nursedani08's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    BSNtobe2009 replied to busylady61's topic in General Nursing

    In a city like Orlando, just from years of reviewing salaries, it would surprise me if an LPN is making more than $36,000 a year to start. I used to live in a major city as well, and LPN's didn't even...
