    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Wicked Wahine's topic in General Nursing

    Don't move to RI. The economy is one of the worst in the country, cost of living is out of control, and job availability is at an all time low. There isnt much opportunity for new grads, either. Oh,...

  6. Drinking while breastfeeding?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    A few drinks now and then is great, and I agree with you that it does not make one a drunkard. A few drinks when you have an infant depending on you as its sole source of nutrition, however, is...

  12. What do you think about a nurse breastfeeding infant at nurse's station during break?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I never said breastfeeding was tacky. I know how great it is for a baby, versus a storebought formula. I do feel, however, that doing this in public in front of your co-workers....at a RN...

  13. What do you think about a nurse breastfeeding infant at nurse's station during break?

  14. Hi everyone... I go to CCRI

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to EkInRI's topic in General Nursing

    I really think with a 4.0 you wouldn't have a problem getting into RIC, regardless of the number of credits. You may just have to apply as a freshman, but that really doesn't matter. The tuition is...

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to LogCabinMom's topic in General Nursing

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to EkInRI's topic in General Nursing
