  1. Drinking while breastfeeding?

    Wicked Wahine replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    Also, if a mother is expected to not take any "risks" for the sake of her child, then she should never, ever get in a car. That would be more beneficial for the health and well being for her child...

  2. Drinking while breastfeeding?

    Wicked Wahine replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    Oh for pete's sake. Just because a woman becomes a mother doesn't mean that she's suddenly mother theresa and expecting that kind of behavior from her isn't fair. Wanting to have a few drinks now...

  3. Drinking while breastfeeding?

    Wicked Wahine replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    You don't need to pump and dump after drinking alcohol. You just need to give it time to fully metabolize and then it will no longer be in the milk. So when you are no longer feeling any effects...

  4. I was slapped by a doctor!

    Wicked Wahine replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    Of course that isn't normal! Definitely, DEFINITELY report

  5. Drinking while breastfeeding?

    Wicked Wahine replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with that line of reasoning is that by forbidding nursing mothers from indulging in the pleasures of life (which for some people is having a few drinks now and then), you run the risk of...

  6. Drinking while breastfeeding?

    Wicked Wahine replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you have to pump and dump though. My understanding is that when the alcohol is fully metabolized, it's also no longer in the breastmilk. I only add this because there are times when...

  7. Good schools in Tucson anyone ?

    Wicked Wahine replied to Shar81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There's actually a magnet Montessori school named Drachman that's near the UofA. You can also check out greatschools.net, which is a great resource. Good luck! Arizona ranks very low in national...

  8. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    Wicked Wahine replied to dfs1961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks for the info, LittleWing. I am super excited about being able to move once I graduate. New England is so beautiful and 4 seasons... well, that will definitely be new to me, that's for sure!...

  9. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    Wicked Wahine replied to dfs1961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    We probably would never actually live in Boston, rather the suburbs. And I really do love northern california, but I'm just not sure it would work for us, especially since we don't have any family...

  10. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    Wicked Wahine replied to dfs1961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm not crazy about Ca, actually. The housing costs are still absolutely insane and we don't have any family there. All of my in-laws are in Mass and I know my husband misses them, so we're pretty...

  11. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    Wicked Wahine replied to dfs1961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Ok, so it sounds like RI hospitals are still actively hiring new grads? I mean, that may be an option for me if we need to move out there immediately after I graduate. Something to definitely think...

  12. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    Wicked Wahine replied to dfs1961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    What's the situation like in RI for new

  13. Relocation to Tucson

    Wicked Wahine replied to SinOmonGrl63's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm still just a nursing student, but from what I've seen and heard, I don't think you'll have a hard time finding a position right away. From the grapevine, it seems like the average new grad pay...

  14. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    Wicked Wahine replied to dfs1961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    What a total mess. I've been reading all I can about this situation going on in Mass right now because there is a strong possibility that my husband (Mass born and raised) and I will be moving out...

  15. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    Wicked Wahine replied to dfs1961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    What's the situation like for hospitals outside of Boston? Are new grads finding the same problems finding positions in these hospitals as well or is this mainly a Boston only

  16. Nurse and Starting a Family

    Wicked Wahine replied to lmekuria's topic in General Nursing

    Oh that is such baloney. No matter what you're doing in your life, children (especially the first one!) require major changes in routine and lifestyle. Everyone figures it out as they go along and...

  17. Starting NS this Fall at Pima, anyone else?

    Wicked Wahine posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    FINALLY! The wait has just taken forever but I'm finally starting NS this Fall at Pima CC. Any other newbie Pima nursing students

  18. new grads in boston hospitals??

    Wicked Wahine replied to quincy24's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I have a question. When we're talking about one year's experience, is that including orientation time or is it just a year's experience on the floor once you get your

  19. Scrub dresses...what are they for?

    Wicked Wahine replied to Ehope's topic in General Students

    Do men have to wear white hose as

  20. Scrub dresses...what are they for?

    Wicked Wahine replied to Ehope's topic in General Students

    What in the world? I mean, unless you suddenly had a clinical assignment that zapped you back to 1982, then honestly I can't see how you would ever be confronted with a situation requiring a scrub...

  21. "A BP of 70/30 is normal"

    Wicked Wahine replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    Whoah, that sounds like a bad, bad day! I also can't get over the patient threatening to throw you out the window. I'm still just a student nurse and I can't imagine just letting a threat like that...

  22. Pima CC

    Wicked Wahine replied to RoxyRed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Huh. Well, yet another example to take everything told to you by an advisor with a huge grain of salt! Again, I would strongly suggest talking to a nursing program advisor for specific information,...

  23. Question... and please don't fight!

    Wicked Wahine replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why it's considered a bad thing to want to be paid well? Or to go into a profession because you want to make the money that those professionals get paid? I think it's hugely naive...

  24. Relocating to Arizona

    Wicked Wahine replied to LynneCharter44's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This is the first I've heard of the 9 months on/3 months off thing. How does that

  25. Has the nursing school wait discouraged anyone?

    Wicked Wahine replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The wait really can be discouraging. Just remind yourself that you'll be X age regardless of whether you're in nursing school (or still waiting) so you may as well just keep plugging away at it! Good...
