    teen breast-feeding

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

    I know if I would have had a lot more support (breast feeding support) and education I could have nursed all my boys longer. Around the 6 week mark with my daughter I ran into the same humps but with...

    teen breast-feeding

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

    Ummmmm it isn't just teens, I have met plenty of 25-35 year old new moms that did not want to nurse because they didn't want their "boobs ruined" and it was to inconvenient and my favorite, "my...

    Clinical Partner Problems

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to beach_bride514's topic in General Students

    You're in a very tough spot but like what has been said, you have to do what's best for you and you can't let anyone else hold you back. If your other friend says ok I would just tell the one you're...

    I killed it today!!!!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Actually I don't mind. I don't mind being only a B student either. I know A's are extremely tough (which is why I was so proud of mine today) but if I tried my hardest and got B's I would still be...

    teen breast-feeding

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking as a teen mom who only breastfeed for 6 weeks, the reason I stopped was lack of support and education. In fact, all three of my sons I didn't breastfeed for more then about 6 weeks, I...

    Does anyone here like nursing school?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    I waiver back and forth. I enjoy seeing my friends every day and hanging out, I don't hate NS but I don't love it either. I am hating clinicals right now I can't wait until next semester when we go to...

    Huge let down from one of my profs

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Holly.G's topic in General Students

    It's an unfortunate situation that this has happened but I do not think it's the norm. You can get bad teachers, just like you can get bad students, nurses, doctors and so on. But I do not think that...

    Yep when finding the "best" answer always remember Airway breathing and circulation are always priorities it doesn't matter what the other things are, if their is an answer that is one of the ABC that...

    How do you feel about this?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to 1TachyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yea I thought COOL! Until I got to that part to. In the hospital I had my daughter at they brought fresh baked cookies to everyone around 2 p.m. It was the food service workers that did it and I...

    I'm tired, lonely, depressed, and frustrated.

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to kenny b's topic in General Students

    With that it is Friday night and 8:18 pm my time and I am going to bed. I am tired, I feel like a loser going to bed so early, but I will be a well rested

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Fundamentals(1986)'s topic in General Students

    One you are not alone, their are many people that don't do well on the fundamentals tests because it's just a whole new way of testing. I would say your best best is to make an appointment with your...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to kenny b's topic in General Students

    HAHA this totally sounds like me during the week and even on weekends. My insomnia has been cured by nursing school. I have made it a point to sleep and get at least 7-8 hours of sleep. Everyone...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to kenny b's topic in General Students

    GET SOME SLEEP!!! Our instructors tell us all the time that if you aren't getting enough sleep that extra hour of sleep will be far more useful and beneficial then that extra hour of studying! When...

    ADN vs BSN What do I do now?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    I am doing ASN or ADN I can't remember but pretty much one in the same from what I am told, anyway, then I will have my work reimburse for the RN-BSN 1 year online program and eventually get my...

    Getting through school with toddler, without daycare.

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to iluvhunter08's topic in General Students

    I really didn't want to have to put my youngest child in daycare *I have 4 kids* and I avoided it up until I started the actual nursing program. I have no family or close friends around to help. I...

    I was violated by a doctor

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am not sure how you got all these assumptions from my one post. I made no assumptions on you, I made a comment on your statement, I didn't speak anything about tolerance or make any assumptions of...

    When to draw the line on religious and cultural accomodation?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    I have to disagree with this, it's not a nurses job to force someone to change their beliefs, however wrong we feel they are. People come to a hospital because they are sick (legitimate people coming...

    I was violated by a doctor

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Some christian denominations don't believe in sex before marriage or birth control either. Should they not become Dr's either or leave

    Woman Calls C-Section "Rape"

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to c3p0's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Things can be forced when court orders are brought into the picture. Like I stated before, as a woman that has been sexually assaulted I can see the comparison and I don't think this woman is making...

    I was violated by a doctor

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can so relate to the last part of your post on another level. I was a teen unwed mother so you can imagine all the stereo types that I got. Turns out I had endometrosis, but before I knew this...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How was he supposed to know his Dr. wasn't going to be tolerant? When did he ever suggest he wanted applause for being gay? For the record, I have met MANY christian people that would not discriminate...

    Woman Calls C-Section "Rape"

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to c3p0's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That is a good point, I never thought of it as a "if she comes in" sort of thing. I still think having a court order demanding this is absurd and if the lady partsl birth went wrong then they should...
