  1. Shaved Mons - Phenomenon

    D.R.A. replied to recbest's topic in Ob/Gyn

  2. Shaved Mons - Phenomenon

    D.R.A. replied to recbest's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was gonna say, that I used to be sans hair when I was younger, but once I gained/lost a few times with each of my 3 pregnancies, I decided that being clean shaven wasn't nearly as cute as it used to...

  3. Homebirth Gone Awry

    D.R.A. replied to mamafeliz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Gosh, it's a tough topic to tackle, but personal choice is still boss, in my opinion. I've had 3 children, all hospital births, however, I wish I could have delivered at home b/c there are so many...

  4. Pregnancy during nursing school

    D.R.A. replied to rookie9's topic in General Students

    My two cents? It could be done. I say this b/c I already have 4 children and start nursing in Jan. You just need to plan carefully. If it were me, I would plan my pregnancy so that I delivered in...

  5. Does your healthcare facility hire employees with HIV or hepatitis

    D.R.A. replied to Fig77's topic in General Nursing

  9. Stethoscope and ear plugging

    D.R.A. replied to niko1999 RN BSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yes, I do have the same problem. We must have small ear canals, lol. Have you tried replacing the earpieces with the spongy ones? Someone in my class suggested that, she said they worked better for...

  10. Financial Aid Help

    D.R.A. replied to Tua15395's topic in General Students

    As the PP said, you should be able to borrow the full amount. If the financial aid office hasn't been helpful, try again until you get someone who is. My suggestion, walk into the finacial aid...

    D.R.A. replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    D.R.A. replied to O2BNRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
