  5. PA-C's on L&D

    sbic56 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ITA. I have met some pretty lousy NP's, RN's, OB's, what have you, but that says nothing for the majority. If PA's are experienced in L&D, they would be every bit as capable as any other person...

    sbic56 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

  10. When and Why Did You Decide A Career in Nursing Was for You?

    sbic56 replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    As a single mom working as a CNA, I admired an LPN who seemed to be so good and comfortable in her position. Plus, I knew I couldn't raise 2 boys on a CNA wage. I'd say my decision was based on part...

  11. Nursing Shortage? Not really!!!!

    sbic56 replied to tiliimnrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I imagine the shortage has eased up some with this lousy economy. It isn't that our wages are that great, but at least our jobs can't be outsourced to India or Guatamala. The nursing shortage has...

    sbic56 replied to indulgentmom's topic in General Nursing

  19. ADD and nursing/schooling???

    sbic56 replied to Cryssi's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have insurance? If so, I think the best place for you to begin is to get a PCP and start there. He can refer you to a psychiatrist after you tell him your concerns. Perhaps the local mental...

    sbic56 replied to CPB's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the very informative article, Tweety! I think most of us can agree on it's content. It is the diet extremes that are so controversial, such as the Atkins induction phase and ultra low fat...
