  3. I GIVE UP~

    yelnikmcwawa replied to afranklin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My micro class was NOTHING like you described. It was fun, educational, and my instructor made the information very easy to learn. Do you have any options to retake it with a different instructor or...

    yelnikmcwawa replied to MICHEVOG's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Everytime we asked my grandmother out for dinner, she would say "No thanks. I'll eat mac 'n' cheese at home and be just as full as you". LOL Obviously to us, my grandmother was being silly and...

  5. Pathophysiology? Should I take it??

    yelnikmcwawa replied to imapsychrn's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's not true about NAU's patho requirement. I am starting their accelerated BSN program in May, and am currently taking patho at Phoenix College. My advisor stated that all of the pre-reqs can be...

  6. Nurse Practitioner vs. Physician Assistant

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Amadea1254's topic in General Students

    I disagree that the independent practice ability is a moot point! My husband co-owns a psych practice with an NP, and she is her own boss and oversees other clinicians. Her ability to practice...

    yelnikmcwawa replied to teacher08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. they teach us to be advocatees for patients but,,,

    yelnikmcwawa replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    I wasn't saying that her pain report was false...I was stating that if she had a natural delivery and pain at an 8 three days PP, then she needed to be seen by a physician to assess why. And...

  10. they teach us to be advocatees for patients but,,,

    yelnikmcwawa replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    Why was her pain level an 8??? Did she have a section or deliver naturally? At 3 days PP and ready to discharge, her pain should not have been at an 8 with a natural delivery. And if that was the...

  11. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    yelnikmcwawa replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, I don't look down on formula feeders. I just get irked when I hear people say things like "well, we did yada, yada, yada and we're all fine". Only because that is not the point of the...

  12. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    yelnikmcwawa replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    yelnikmcwawa replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    yelnikmcwawa replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    this is not the point! the whole "breast is best" notion is not about looking at whether each individual child is bonded or not, healthy or not, smart or not, yada yada, yada. what the research shows...

  15. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    yelnikmcwawa replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Give me a break! Yeah...formula feeders get the short stick:banghead:. I breast fed for 22 months and the whole time I got stared at in public if, heaven forbid, my son needed to eat. And by god, I...

    yelnikmcwawa replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Haha! I have never done it either, but I think that you should see buttons under my name, next to "Registered User". The little button with a piece of paper and pencil are for PMing. My son is tugging...
