I'm needing some advice here. I just graduated in May, just got a job and have orientation next week. I just took a pregnancy test because I was late and it is WAY positive (it almost jumped out at me). I'm completely freaking out for a ton of rea...

Random update but I thought I would post that I am still pregnant at 25w4d. The IUD remains in place, by u/s it appears embedded in the placenta. Looks like a very happy, healthy baby boy in there too :) My job is going well, I am loving labor and...

Well, my risk for miscarriage is higher right now. I emailed my OB professor (CNM) from school and filled her in on what's going on and she said it goes from 10% to 15%. I am at risk for developing an infection, which we all know with any infection...

Had the ultrasound yesterday.... definitely pregnant. 6w3d

Just another update: HCG Quantitative levels- Friday 7/1: 7,342 Tuesday 7/5: 13,728 Dr. personally called me today (does that ever happen?? Maybe just a first for me). Said it is "favorable" but didn't want to make any "promises". I told him not t...

Well here is an update: I went to the dr. They did a vaginal exam, ultrasound, and blood work. He attempted to remove the IUD but it is too far up inside of me. The ultrasound showed a sac, conveniently sitting next to the IUD. He can't tell if it ...

Thanks everyone! I will go ahead and post an update this afternoon, after my appointment.

Well, I should clarify that I think the OB-GYN that put it in did not put it in correctly, as my strings are not hanging out. It's been an issue for a couple of years, and for all I know it has embedded in my uterine lining and that is why it didn't...

No, it's not that it's bad to deliver there. It is one of the top places to deliver in our area. I wouldn't have picked that place to work if it wasnt. In fact, I delivered my other two girls at the county hospital (by a CNM) in our old city we li...

Very appropriate, lol! And not to worry... I won't deliver where I work, it's the county hospital and a 27 mile drive for me!

I'm starting my career in Labor and Delivery.

@Rainn- I called immediately, I'm going in tomorrow because of the high risk of ectopic pregnancy. To all of you- Thanks for the replies. I appreciate hearing this. If this is a legit pregnancy (i.e. not ectopic) it would make #3 for my husband ...

I just got a job here in TX as well at one of the county hospitals in L&D. What county are you in?

I just wanted to share my experience. I just graduated in May and officially accepted a position as a nurse intern at one of the major hospitals in Houston in labor and delivery. It was very VERY competitive and they only took 3 into L&D. Fir...

@Pamela, where does he work, my sister does anesthesia also. @TheGuy, I haven't talked to anyone, just emailed the recruiterrb email

@Pamela, thanks for the info... bummer it already passed. Even if it was for seasoned nurses I probably would have gone just to make face... bummer :/ @Trill, yes I applied there, in addition to every hospital in the Houston area. It is so disappo...

ps- none of the hospitals have been replying to me either :/

Was it today though? If not, when is it scheduled for?

Do you all know when/where the HCHD job fair is?

@wbrogers, No IV starts are really done, these are not acute psych patients requiring IVs and such. What program are you in? FYI, they only higher Bachelor and higher degrees.

I am currently trying to find out the monthly stipend for the BSN internship at Menninger as well. I am loving it there as a student during clinicals, and would love to work there. However, like the above poster, I have 2 little kiddos and my hubby...

My previous post wasn't meant to sound negative. It's a great program! I actually ended withdrawing in my 3rd semester because I got pregnant with my 2nd over the summer. It was getting a bit tough for me. Anywho, my previous post was more to jus...

Hi there, this was a random find! I was googling blinn ADN to find out some stuff and found this thread. Anyways, I'm starting my 3rd semester at Blinn in the ADN program. Welcome!!! First semester was tough for me, I had a 4.0 going into the progra...
