  1. Attn: Frontier Graduates..

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I didn't see your post as being helpful, I saw it as being judgmental and you were assuming I didn't know they were discontinuing the program...and FYI, as of TODAY they are still offering it. I...

  2. Asking for a change of grade

    BabyLady replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So you want to ask your professor to change a grade that you haven't even got yet? Before you get upset, why don't you wait to see what he gives you. That makes more sense. Way

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Well, again, not why I

  4. wow!!! Bad popup and STILL passing......

    BabyLady replied to passredskins1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    edit.....

  5. Job offers while still in school

    BabyLady replied to jam752's topic in General Nursing

    Employers do not have access to your score on the NCLEX, all they know is if you passed or not. Class rank, was not shared with any of us at my school. I put my GPA on my resume, but I have no idea...

  6. Math Question

    BabyLady replied to Brekka's topic in General Students

    I agree 190% that this is the answer and it is accurate. The question is not difficult, it is well-written and is very typical what you will encounter. I cannot believe the instructors did not know...

  7. wow!!! Bad popup and STILL passing......

    BabyLady replied to passredskins1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would believe this, if it happened to you instead of being reported by someone else. But I don't think your friend did something right because that defies all logic. I'll be honest...the BON does...

  8. Is it illegal for a private duty caregiver hired by a family to administer insulin ?

    BabyLady replied to JasmineMarie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    An agreement between the family and the caregiver, written or not, cannot be used to circumvent the scope of practice set by the Board of

  9. Is it illegal for a private duty caregiver hired by a family to administer insulin ?

    BabyLady replied to JasmineMarie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ...I agree that you need to call your BON, because here is what they are going to tell you: It doesn't matter what they hired you to do, it is the fact you are getting paid as a caregiver and CNA's...

  10. Giving kids botox vs. refusing lifesaving medical treatment...

    BabyLady replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen three cases of where parents refused care since I have been in the NICU, in all three cases they were very, very treatable cases and treatment would result in a normal life for the infant....

  11. Attn: Frontier Graduates..

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    In all due respect, why...is not my question. My question was posted to anyone who has done it...I have my own reasons for asking. I have no interest in a CNM/FNP because chances are if you are...

  12. Frontier vs Emory University

    BabyLady replied to SuperMujer2373's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    This is my two cents: I have no idea why anyone gets the FNP/CNM Dual degree and this is why. Most people go into this line of work because they are interested in women's health. With an FNP, you...

  13. Cocaine in breastmilk?

    BabyLady replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    By even recommending it, that is not based on evidence. Seriously...someone in your unit needs up-to-date information on breastfeeding and it's compatabilities and I would highly encourage staff...

  14. Cocaine in breastmilk?

    BabyLady replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    They let nurses make those decisions in your unit? In my unit the Neonatologist gets to make those decisions, not nurses. ...by the way, its funny that you think that THC is somehow "more" safe than...

  15. Cocaine in breastmilk?

    BabyLady replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    That is not good, because methadone is not contraindicated. Remember, evidence based...and the practice of your nursery is not based on evidence. Methadone is considered COMPATABLE with breastfeeding...

  16. Cocaine in breastmilk?

    BabyLady replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I would wager it was something else that caused that, if you were told the story accurately by your sister. It is not a matter of "doctors don't know how much a baby is getting"...moms are on some...

  17. Cocaine in breastmilk?

    BabyLady replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The last time I had a Neo say that a Mom could breastfeed when she was on 11 different drugs, three of them opiates, I stopped asking. All of them were secreted in breast milk to some degree. All of...

  18. neonatal IV sticks

    BabyLady replied to smbluthing's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    In our unit, we are not permittted to use antecubital and saphenous sticks because those are reserved for PICC lines. Only NNP's and respiratory stick arterials...radial or otherwise. So start with...

  19. people seem uninformed....

    BabyLady replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. Then again, do ANY of us really know what another profession does, in depth? Police officers and teachers have the same complaints, along with any other profession I can think of. To me, it is...

  20. Med-surg or NICU first?

    BabyLady replied to Neonatal WannaB's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Go straight into the NICU..trust me, Med-Surg will not help

  21. Low sodium blood levels

    BabyLady replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    This sounds like homework....we are happy to help, as long as you show effort that you have tried to answer this problem yourself. This is a question so basic, that to be honest, it is clear you...

  22. Is it illegal for a private duty caregiver hired by a family to administer insulin ?

    BabyLady replied to JasmineMarie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    i disagree that you have to understand the patho in order to administer insulin...because children as young as 6 and 7 can be taught to manage their own insulin...they sure as heck don't understand...

  23. Is there any problem being a pre-med nursing student...?

    BabyLady replied to TJ_vladin's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct...I have a friend that had a major in Sociology and got into medical school, but I am pretty sure you have to have the upper-level science pre-requisites in order to apply. Here is a...

  24. Is there any problem being a pre-med nursing student...?

    BabyLady replied to TJ_vladin's topic in General Nursing

    Keep in mind: Medical School: 4 years undergraduate degree. 4 years medical school. 3 years of residency. Fellowship...unless you plan on being a General Practice physician...then that can add another...

  25. Is there any problem being a pre-med nursing student...?

    BabyLady replied to TJ_vladin's topic in General Nursing

    Chemistry and Biology will serve them far better than nursing school will, thus, why those are the majors they take the
