  1. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    areawoman replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The Dr. Sears link I used above mentions the studies and (I think) where to find

  2. How long does a Cesarean section last?

    areawoman replied to rn4ever?'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've had two, and they both lasted less than an hour in the

  3. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    areawoman replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Agree. In fact, depending on how data is analyzed, current research shows that sleeping with your baby is actually safer than having them sleep alone in their cribs. At the very least, it doesn't show...

  4. Age Issues and The Modern Male Nurse

    areawoman replied to Rocky09's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have a good friend who graduated from an NP program last June at the ripe old age of 58! And I am currently in a grad-entry program and there are 6 in my cohort over the age of 45. Even if you're...

  5. DE-MSN...Advice needed please! Esp with GPA

    areawoman replied to magnoliablossoms's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Ya, I think they put a lot more weight on the pre-requisites. Plus, if you can get a 4.0, that could bring your overall GPA over 3.0

  6. DE-MSN...Advice needed please! Esp with GPA

    areawoman replied to magnoliablossoms's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Ever DE program I applied to required a minimum of 3.0 in the pre-requisite courses with no grade lower than B-, and they all require many more than the classes you've listed. You'll need...

  7. Need some help translating!

    areawoman posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student nurse in med/surg clinicals and I went to the hospital today to research my patient for tomorrow and I cannot for the life of me understand some of these abbreviations! "Patient is 72yo...

  8. So, what color are your school uniforms?

    areawoman replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    hahaha, no doubt that's

  9. How much is too much.

    areawoman replied to pushing_thru's topic in General Students

    I have lots of people from my nursing program friended on facebook. I figure keeping up with them will make for good networking in the future. We often contact each other with questions or to set up...

  10. So, what color are your school uniforms?

    areawoman replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We have to wear "true red" scrubs (top and bottom) to clinical and street clothes to class. I think it's to make it abundantly clear who the students are, because we sure stick out in a crowd. The...

  11. Need some help translating!

    areawoman replied to areawoman's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! Not knowing CAD was a major brain fart on my part, but I never would have gotten the other

  12. Need some help translating!

    areawoman replied to areawoman's topic in General Nursing

    Ya, asking another nurse is a good idea. Unfortunately, my instructor is the kind that wants us to discover things for ourselves and won't answer questions unless we've looked three different places...

  13. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    areawoman replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've had the same experience through close to 4 years of breastfeeding 2 children -- no one has ever said anything negative to me, although I have had a couple of positive comments along the lines of,...

  14. Applied to OHSU and Seattle University -- grad entry

    areawoman posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone applied to OHSU or Seattle University Grad Entry MSN programs and heard yet whether or not you got an interview? I was expecting to hear sometime in the past week and haven't. It's driving...

  15. Has anyone or does anyone feel this way?

    areawoman replied to Mmae's topic in General Students

    The first couple days of clinical, in my experience, are horrible. You're uncomfortable/embarassed with what's asked of you, you feel like the nurses, CNA's, and the patients are all judging you,...

  16. NPs in the ER?

    areawoman replied to NoobinIL's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Ohio State. It's a fantastic

  17. NPs in the ER?

    areawoman replied to NoobinIL's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I am in a grad-entry program right now and it's great! There are a lot of people with a medical background not in nursing (RT's/EMT's/Army medics/etc.), and it definitely gives them an edge when it...

  18. psych/mental health nurse practitioner salary

    areawoman replied to shelbee1084's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yep, she did a direct-entry program. She worked part-time as an RN after she took the NCLEX and before she finished the program, but it was less than 6

  19. Graduate Entry Transfer

    areawoman posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Has anyone successfully transferred from one graduate-entry program to another? My husband would like to move his business to a better climate (both literally and figuratively) and would rather not...

  20. psych/mental health nurse practitioner salary

    areawoman replied to shelbee1084's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a good friend who just graduated as a psych NP in Ohio last May and is making well over $100,000/year. She did have experience as a licensed counselor before the NP program, but she was not an...

  21. How healthy and fit are you?

    areawoman replied to cute2's topic in General Nursing

    I am a student, and very committed to staying healthy, and I have been wondering if it is going to be possible to continue my routine when I start working! Good question! I run 5-6 days a week and...

  22. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    areawoman replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Mine either! We have to get a B- or retake the

  23. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    areawoman replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As long as we don't give them the wrong info. I've breastfed two children and my boobs are pretty much in the same shape as they were before hand. Maybe a little bigger/floppier, but I attribute that...

  24. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    areawoman replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My first impression: the author of the article sure does seem to have a chip on her shoulder! I have two children, both of whom I breastfed for at least 18 months. In fact, I am still breastfeeding my...

  25. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

    areawoman replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I took my pre-requisites at Columbus State (for OSU), and although there is no biology required, it is a pre-requisite for every other class you have to take, including chem, micro, and A&P, so it...
