    mitchsmom replied to mitchsmom's topic in General Nursing

    this is exactly what it turned out to be, they couldn't get it threaded all the

    mitchsmom replied to TLC RN's topic in General Nursing

    Like I wrote before, mine slip (as they are supposed to) but I LOVE them. I am in Florida and I hardly ever wear closed toe shoes, but I have to for my nursing program. So at least I don't feel...

    mitchsmom replied to Khadijah2's topic in General Nursing

  4. Can you translate this for a student?

    mitchsmom replied to mitchsmom's topic in General Nursing

    All sounds good to me... I have limited info b/c it's my patient for tomorrow and my instructor just gave me basic info, drugs, etc. It is hard to read my instructor's writing. I know pt has an IV...

    mitchsmom replied to TLC RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I think I read when I got mine that they are supposed to slip on the heel. Mine do. I think they also say to order a size up if you're not

  7. Frontier Midwifery School

    mitchsmom replied to Khadijah2's topic in General Nursing

    Those of you considering CNM may be interested in this (maybe Frontier wasn't on here b/c they didn't have the MSN part then... not sure... I think the colleges in the US News thing have to submit...

  8. What did someone do that you knew to get fired or kicked out of school?

    mitchsmom replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    He11 no! At least not in my school. This makeup talk is totally blowing my mind. None of my instructors even wear much makeup, any that do have a fairly "natural" look going... which I was taught...

  9. Anyone Required To Take ERI?

    mitchsmom replied to RainDreamer's topic in General Students

    Ditto. 2 or 3 is the most we have in one semester I think though. (This semester they will have pharm, psych, and medsurg I think... I already did psych and was surprised how well I did on it on the...

    mitchsmom replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the whole thing was pretty weak anyway... dh and I turned it off in favor of more exciting

  11. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    mitchsmom replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I think so, I certainly am not an authority on the Bible even though I brought that up :) But even if people come together in marraige, respect for elders still seems pretty high on the priority...

  12. Abused by instructor---what to do?

    mitchsmom replied to timewood's topic in General Nursing

    Some good ideas! I was going to ask if it was anything that the media may be interested in.. if somehow the school got the idea that lawyers/ media/ accrediting bodies could possibly get interested,...

  13. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    mitchsmom replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Fergus, interesting to think about the parents vs. the spouses rights. I am not a religious person but I would think that the Bible ranks parents above spouses... it made it into the ten...

  14. Pain Meds and Breastfeeding

    mitchsmom replied to celle507's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As Klone said, we can get hours for being a breastfeeding group counselor, that's what I've done. I have a BA degree so that means I need 2500 hours total. I've gotten 2000 of those hours in the...

  15. ? for those of you who have a research class...

    mitchsmom posted a topic in General Students

    is it hard as he!!? The one at our school is really hard and it's so frustrating to me... I get good grades and it's ticking me off that I'm probably not going to get the grade I want in this stupid...

  16. Pain Meds and Breastfeeding

    mitchsmom replied to celle507's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Dr. Riordan's class confers 45 LCERPS plus I went to the ILCA convention in 2002, and to the FL LLL convention this year, etc... so I had some already from those events. BTW, I got my nursing program...

  17. Pain Meds and Breastfeeding

    mitchsmom replied to celle507's topic in Ob/Gyn

    NB. I am liking Health-e-Learning alot - nice format, good info, much easier than ordering and sending via snail mail. You do it and they email your certificate for the LCERPS right away :) I am...

  18. Pain Meds and Breastfeeding

    mitchsmom replied to celle507's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks! Oy, that's one reason I'm taking it this summer... so it doesn't coincide with the NCLEX... plus it's been a goal of mine since I became a counselor anyway so I knew I'd try to do it asap. I...

  19. When circ's go bad...

    mitchsmom replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can't comment on the OP's question, I've only seen one circ performed (before nursing school, I was observing a birth w/ an OB friend of mine and she zipped in to do a circ before she had to catch the...

    mitchsmom replied to celle507's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My application for the IBCLC exam will hopefully be in the mail in the next couple of weeks... you're making me

  21. What type of pain med in labor used?

    mitchsmom replied to Daynamyte's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You L&D nurses probably already know this, but a little on Demerol/Pethidine that I just happened to read today: "Meperidine (Pethidine/Demerol) is metabolized to the active metabolite...

  22. Clinical paperwork - will I get any sleep tonight?

    mitchsmom replied to RNNoMore's topic in General Students

    I think that's ridiculous, especially if you can't cut and paste and use references. Our care plans get longer and longer as we go through the program but the sections that we turn in the morning of...

  23. How many weeks left in your semester?

    mitchsmom replied to Nikki730's topic in General Students

    I have 6 more weeks of lecture/clinicals then finals week. BUT we only have one week off before a 10 week summer semester starts. Then about a month off before the 14 week Fall

    mitchsmom posted a topic in General Nursing

    edit: i didn't talk to the dentist last night, so if anyone else knows or has an opinion about this i would still like to hear it!! :) my son got a fake tooth (a bridge) and it protrudes about 2mm...

    mitchsmom replied to mitchsmom's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks very much for the feedback, I talked with the dentist and they have offered to redo it (I didn't even have to make a case for it again, I think they realize that it didn't come out as good as...
