  1. Circ Rates by Region

    cmonkey replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had DS at home, so yep. But in my 70+ member moms group, I think there are only 4 uncut

  2. Circ Rates by Region

    cmonkey replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We're in the Midwest and working to lower it. Okay, one baby doesn't do a whole lot, but I have several local friends who also chose not

  3. During school, did you see anything gruesome

    cmonkey replied to ThePretender's topic in General Nursing

    I'd have paid good money for one of those when I had the dreaded Norwalk

  4. What the heck is a Netie pot?

    cmonkey replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    If they're the right age, a demonstration might be enough to make them *perish* to use it. At our house, it'd be something like, "OMG, Mom's got water coming out of her nose! Gimme

  5. What the heck is a Netie pot?

    cmonkey replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have hideous dustmite allergies and I've used a large syringe as a neti pot occasionally. It really does seem to make a difference. I feel less ... clogged up, and I see a big decrease in sneezing....

  6. Anyone trying for a 2nd degree?

    cmonkey replied to FutureRN1908's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a BA (English. Qualifies me for "Would you like fries with that?") and I'm going for my ADN. I expect to go on to the RN and possibly a master's, but I'll figure that out as I

  7. Guys i will be taking my net test at 9 am today! pray for me!!!

    cmonkey replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I signed up for the 5/5 session at my school. Eek! ...wait, you had to write an essay?

  8. EPIC Computer Program

    cmonkey replied to al7139's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I worked as an EPIC abstractor at my last job and thought the system was slicker than snot. The med contraindications function alone is the greatest

  10. can i take the CNA test without going to class?

    cmonkey replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about your state, but in MN you are REQUIRED to have X hours of classroom time as well as clinicals before you can take the test. I think it's mandated federally, so everyone must have...

  11. A new twist

    cmonkey posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    on the school dream: instead of showing up for a final when I never attended class, last night I dreamed that my teacher said, "I can't wait until Friday so I can fail you out of this program. Your...

  12. A&P II Winter/Spring '08

    cmonkey replied to daisyfleur70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally commiserate. And I offer bagels. I think all you can do is take it bit by bit, try to break it down into small parts so you don't feel overwhelmed by the quanity of work. You can totally do...

  13. LSC/Duluth

    cmonkey replied to MShell's topic in General Nursing

    Ooh, I'd love to meet up! I'm there M/W 4-9 for CNA class (ugh) but I generally have the whole of Wednesday to myself. Otherwise it's me plus at least one. I do spend several hours each Saturday at...

  14. LSC/Duluth

    cmonkey replied to MShell's topic in General Nursing

    If I can keep my 4.0 this semester, I'll feel pretty good about my odds, but I'm waiting to see. How many books? You still have to wear whites for clinicals? How many hours are you spending reading...

  15. age ?

    cmonkey replied to disneydiva21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you count the BA classes that transferred, probably early 20s. If you count last semester and this,

  16. I'm in, now....

    cmonkey replied to Ado Annie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd take student loans over cashing out my 401K. You're looking at as much (or as little) as 35% tax on that money. It's much cheaper to get a 7% federal loan, no? If you pursue the RN, you may find...

  17. Riddle me this

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I wouldn't call it wasted. I worked up a hat and most of a baby sweater the first three weeks! lol I actually like learning a lot in class, because it's nice to see what the teachers think the...

  18. Riddle me this

    cmonkey posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm ending my third week in the CNA class (required to apply for the LPN/RN program) and I have to say I'm developing a real appreciation for what CNAs do on a day-to-day basis. It got me wondering,...

  19. LSC/Duluth

    cmonkey replied to MShell's topic in General Nursing

    I think since they moved to the GPA-based acceptance, the list will be a different sort. I'm hoping that I can maintain my grades this last semester and rock the NET. If I do, I don't think I'll have...

  20. LSC/Duluth

    cmonkey replied to MShell's topic in General Nursing

    *bump* because I wonder if anyone else is at

  21. Riddle me this

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    ...like CNA

  22. Any info on Duluth for new grad?

    cmonkey replied to tootsie29's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I have a different pov since I went to high school in Chicago in the '80s, but there isn't an area in Duluth I wouldn't live in. Well, there are some I'd prefer not to live in, but only because...

  23. Riddle me this

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, not so much in CNA

  24. Riddle me this

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    One other question: is there much
