Here's mine tho not work related... My son was my grandfathers first great grandchild. I was due August the 20th and my grandfather lived in another town. He drove down on Friday the 18th and arrived that night at my mothers house. My mom said "wh...

I am not *yet* a part of the health care team but I have had 3 labors, hospital with ob, homebirth with certified professional midwife (with clinical training in a hospital, also IV certified) and lastly hospital birth with CNMs. Some experiences we...

I am on the waiting list for an RN program and it will be some time before my name hits the top so I decided to get certified as a nurse aid. This past week was my first week of classes. Our books are geared toward working with residents in nursing...

Hi, Dont know when you guys started this thread, I have been away from the boards for a bit. I live in the Jackson area and have been working towards becoming a nurse for a while now and I just got waitlisted for the Hinds RN program so I just start...

CONGRATS GIRL!!! Good Job !!

Hey Manna, remember me from little while back? We talked about the radiology program :) Didnt end up in the radiology program after all, still trying to carve out a place for myself in nursing school. Anyhow, my prob is I failed the math on the NE...

OH my gosh! Thats incredibly shocking. I had a friend who said that her epidural did not take on one side when she had a c section but they took care of her when they realized she was feeling it. I had heart surgery and the anesthisiologist came to s...

I'm not a nurse yet...but you mentioned having kids and I have to say that when I breastfed for the first time, it seemed as if the baby had not actually left my body. You could just see her from the outside instead hehe. I didnt want to be touched...

I will share my kind nurse story with you all :) I had a very severe case of MVP, causing all sorts of probs for years. In February I had heart surgery to repair the valve. I had many kind nurses around me throughout this experience and there are ...

I am not a nurse and right now I feel as if I will never be one. I have been taking nursing pre req classes here and there for the past 4 years while taking care of my small children. I have been preparing for a bachelors degree program all this ti...

I just want to hug all of you guys. Thanks so much for your support. I really needed to hear all the stuff youve posted. You people have so much heart and compassion--- sniff sniff. I will keep trying. (((hugs))) Lissagirl

At my CC you must have all pre reqs finished and you MUST pass the NET. I failed the math unfortunatly. Truthfully if you pass the NET thats your ticket. They send you a number and it puts you in line for admission. Its very difficult here too, th...

I am taking chem 1 and 2 this summer and I suck at chem, anyone know of any useful sites that help chemicallly challenged people understand it any better? I am so chemystified!

I have been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse, I am 26 years old. I have had a murmer all my life and irregular heartbeat from time to time. I was planning on going to nursing school this fall but now I am faced with what to me seems like a fairly...

Well said Babs

I am 26 and entering nursing, I feel that the pay is "reasonable". It could be better especially in my state but cost of living is also cheap here. I have several friends who work in healthcare but not as nurses. Mostly as office managers in docs off...

My aunt was L&D nurse (now in home health). She couldnt break for smokes much so she just chewed the nicotine gum, she quit smoking but still chews the gum.

Maybe Mario meant that many very intelligent and lovely women end up in relationships with men who are not their equal intellectually and emotionally. By zeros maybe he meant losers... My sis is a great gal but with a very horrible man, I should say ...

woops got some extra faces after that last post!

WOW.... I am just gonna jump right in, just gotta give my 2 cents worth. I am trying to resist ladies and I just cant. I am not a health care provider in any way (disclaimer hehe:eek: ) I am a student, a consumer and a birth enthusiast, it is from th...
