  1. I feel lost

    RN mom of 2 replied to mycatmax's topic in General Nursing

    "Nursing is not for the timid, or the brave!" I love that.... Thanks for sharing! :) Most nurses agree it takes a good year to feel comfortable. It's a process. In the medical field you learn by...

  2. Which road to take?

    RN mom of 2 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hi NICU nurses! I have been away from nursing for six years and have very little hospital experience. I am interested in the NICU and found a hospital near me that is starting a residency program (I...

    RN mom of 2 replied to RN mom of 2's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hey, thanks for the heads up! I hadn't even considered that possibility, but it makes sense. I'm glad I posted about this, and I appreciate the advice.

  6. RN Refresher Books

    RN mom of 2 replied to RN mom of 2's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Kristy! Thank you for your reply! I wish you the best. I have been home with my kids for the last 6 years, which has been wonderful, but I'm worried if I wait too long it will be hard to get back...

  7. RN Refresher Books

    RN mom of 2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I've been away from nursing for about six years, and I need some books to refresh my memory before I start working again. What do you guys recommend? I'd especially like a good skills book. Thanks...

  8. Hit all time low

    RN mom of 2 replied to JentheRN05's topic in General Nursing

    "And my final little tidbit: Don't be ashamed. You didn't ask for this or do it to yourself. Its no ones fault." Yes. Amen! I admire you all for your honesty. It can't be an easy road to take. God...

  9. Hit all time low

    RN mom of 2 replied to JentheRN05's topic in General Nursing

    I think is great that you are honest about all of this and especially honest with yourself. Someone once said, people are diagnosed bipolar when they are ready to hear that diagnosis. It sounds like...

  10. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Timothy, I spent some time researching those organizations to find out where their funding comes from. It appears to be from different sources, including drug companies. To be honest, I don't have a...

  11. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can you provide the link that states this? It doesn't mean there aren't other people involved in the funding, just because the above organizations are the ones reporting the findings of the studies...

  12. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "But I have worked in LTC for 14 Years and I have seen a lot of men that are not circumcised and I will tell you they have a lot of problems, infections.. and this is my own study.. " When you say,...

  13. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    RN mom of 2 replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    That's true, but the area you wash is the part that protects the lady parts, so it's basically the same thing. It may not be technically correct, but I think people know what you are referring to. I...

  14. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    RN mom of 2 replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    LMAO!!!!!! I don't get all the silly names. I have always used the term member when talking to my son. Maybe it's the nurse in me? I sure get a laugh reading some of these! Forgot to add: My friend's...

  15. If you won the lottery, would you still do your job?

    RN mom of 2 replied to SK-222's topic in General Nursing

    LOL!! I think people who love their jobs would keep working, because they are doing it for more than a paycheck. I'm currently a SAHM, so I'd be thrilled if I

  16. I'm New....and I'm Scared

    RN mom of 2 replied to ShowMeRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously, you may end up loving it! The main thing is to find a niche that you love. I know people who love nursing and others who don't like it. People get upset, because there are a lot of unfair...

  17. Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    RN mom of 2 replied to misstaz25's topic in General Nursing

    Smoking is an addiction people! I smoked for years and quit almost 5 years ago. Stress causes people to want to smoke, and the nursing program is stressful! I can't believe she's telling her not to...

  18. Lack of hair growth in children

    RN mom of 2 replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in General Nursing

    It might be Alopecia. I think it may be genetic. I knew a girl and two of her sisters had it, and they wore wigs. They were very pretty women, and you'd never know they didn't have hair. Here is a...

  19. Vent: On Jumping to Conclusions

    RN mom of 2 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's seriously messed up! Something similar happened to me in school. I was helping my pt in her room, and her roommate's mom buzzed the front desk to get a soda. Well, the clerk thought I was the...

  20. How bad would it be to get pregnant while in nursing school?

    RN mom of 2 replied to Soup Turtle's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would be exhausting! You might feel pretty good in the second trimester, but as far as the first and third....I'm not so sure. After two pregnancies following nursing school, and knowing...

  21. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have my theories why this is the case, but I'm choosing to bow out, as well. I don't think we can offer any more information, or sites to look at than we already have. For those interested, there is...

  22. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just want to thank everyone for their input into this discussion. I have found it very interesting and thought provoking. During my own research to decide whether or not to circ my son, I spent a...

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

  24. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i understand what you mean about having your bp go up! i can't even bring myself to watch them...one time was enough for me. for those who have never seen one, please watch it. i think it's so...

  25. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, I agree that the end result is the main issue. Since circs are still accepted and routinely performed, I feel it should be done as humanely as possible. Sadly, no one knows for sure what the pain...
