  1. Oh boy I am freaking out (HepB vax)

    marilynmom replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for sharing your experience here. I am sorry your having to deal with a rash like that looks to be related to the vaccine. I read the

  2. OU credit question

    marilynmom replied to soonertwin87's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    OU Nursing will not take the combined A&P classes anymore, they used to but they made it very clear in the orientation I went to they no longer do this. Just wanted to warn you. Dont' just...

  3. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutly.

  4. Oh boy I am freaking out (HepB vax)

    marilynmom replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what you mean? Can you explain a bit more? Thanks! I have been tested for HepB I believe but I can't remember the results. HepC no. HepB titers are not very reliable because of...

  5. Oh boy I am freaking out (HepB vax)

    marilynmom replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    Yes yes yes. This is the type of stuff I have been reading in the medical journals as well, so glad I am not feeling like a nut here! LOL Some people (Dr's and RN's!) just blow this stuff off and it...

  6. Oh boy I am freaking out (HepB vax)

    marilynmom replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks and I will search some more as well. I thought the selenium thing was really cool though!! But I would like to see more studies done to feel more confident about

  7. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    It would REALLY worry me if you could only get formula via a Dr prescription. A lot of people don't have insurance (like myself) and couldn't get or afford to go see a Dr. It just not going to work...

  8. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Ya I agree. First of all most women can NOT pump enough to exclusivly feed breastmilk, a breastpump is not as effective as the baby itself. I have seen this again and again. Some women are able to...

  9. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, I am not in favor of formula being by prescripton. I do think the warning labels are fine because there are documented risks with formula compared to breastmilk (I dont think anyone can...

  10. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    More research has been done since the 80's. There is antibody increase after the first year as well. There is a HUGE difference between breastmilk and formula. I don't think anyone is debating...

  11. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Give me a BREAK. As health professionals we are supposed to explain that laying baby in its crib/stroller with a bottle proped in its mouth DOES increase the risk for choking (especially with your...

  12. Oh boy I am freaking out (HepB vax)

    marilynmom replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    No randomized controlled clinical trials have EVER been done on ANY vaccine showing it's long term effects. I agree with what your saying but there are other studies that have been done in the...

  13. Oh boy I am freaking out (HepB vax)

    marilynmom replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    I *think* so. Anytime your body attacks itself, it's considered an autoimmune

  14. Oh boy I am freaking out (HepB vax)

    marilynmom replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear that. I know 4 people in my family who contracted HepC and all 4 are now fine thankfully. Good luck to you and your

  15. Oh boy I am freaking out (HepB vax)

    marilynmom replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    Indigo, where else did you find it elsewhere? I have been looking for other studies. I've already started taking selenium :) I guess I get worried off and on about this one vaccine because my...

  16. Oh boy I am freaking out (HepB vax)

    marilynmom replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. I just feel like sometimes no one really understands where I am coming from here. It can be scarey. Yes diabetes, type 1 and 2 has struck both my mother and father and almost all of their...

  17. any other students trying to lose weight?

    marilynmom replied to allthingsbright's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Wow, first of all congrats to those of you who have lost weight! And heck yes I need to lose a few pounds myself EVERYONE in my family has diabetes and my fasting blood sugar is in the...

  18. Oh boy I am freaking out (HepB vax)

    marilynmom replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    Yes but what about the risk factors? If you had family who had autoimmune disorders, and the vaccine was suspected of causing autoimmune diseases in those suseptable (like I am), you would still get...

  19. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I just meant I'm not going to support them.....like cheering them on, "whoo hoo formula is GREAT, there is nothing better than it!", type of support. That is all I meant. I was responding to another...

  20. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I think you made some good points. The message IS getting across, your right, since 70% of mothers are at least starting off with breastfeeding. We need to now learn and help figure out why they...

  21. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    No, it wasn't all because she couldn't breastfeed, but that was a part of it. Her child was also not healthy when he was born so it was a mix of many factors. I had a *very* traumatic birth with my...

  22. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Ya LLL can be like that, I actually used to do some work for them (not all groups are like this though) and they were absolutly **crazy** about it all--I think they actually did more harm than good at...

  23. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Girls I wanted to say I love you all! I really do. We may not all agree and some feel more passionatly about this subject that others (I know I do), but that is ok. We SHOULD talk about this stuff!...

  24. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    LOL I guess your crazy! But I guess I am crazier in that I breastfed my youngest until she was

  25. Breastfeed or else

    marilynmom replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Well I am not going to "support" those who choose not to breastfeed because they don't want to. IRL I support women emotionally who can not breastfeed--I already mentioned that I worked as a...
