   Poppy_Petal replied to Poppy_Petal's topic in Ob/Gyn

3. An OB's Birth Plan

   Poppy_Petal posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hello, I've been a member here for a long time but don't post because I decided nursing school with young children at home wasn't something I could personally pull off. I'm 26 weeks with my 3rd (1st...

   Hi, I am trying to decide whether to go through the E-line at Del Mar and live in Corpus Christi or to do the E-line while living in Galveston. I have family near both places and they both have the...

5. Thoughts about childcare during procedures

   Poppy_Petal replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in General Nursing

   I called the childcare facility at the local medical center. It is not in the hospital (I don't believe) and does not offer expanded hours/after school care, etc. as some supposedly do. It seems to...

8. Thoughts about childcare during procedures

   Poppy_Petal replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in General Nursing

9. Thoughts about childcare during procedures

   Poppy_Petal replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in General Nursing

   CNM2B I know what you mean! I also have two children and frequently have no one to sit with them. If one goes-they both go. I realize this is not ideal-but much of a single mothers (or mother with...

    Poppy_Petal replied to jyer2124's topic in Texas Nursing

    You have calmed my fears, that helps since it would be easier for me to go to school in Corpus than San Antonio. I have family in both the Corpus area and Houston and I really like the San Antonio...

    I am getting all my non-nursing classes done and hope to start nursing courses fall '05. I am seriously considering the eLine program through Delmar/A&M but have heard some bad things about the...

12. Who Knows Something About Galveston?

    Poppy_Petal replied to Aurora's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks Shirley, I had seen some of your other posts and was hoping you would reply. Like I said I love Galveston. On the flip side my husband hates it. But he is just being shallow LOL. I do feel...

13. Who Knows Something About Galveston?

    Poppy_Petal replied to Aurora's topic in Texas Nursing

    I love Galveston!! There is a lot of crime here but it is the poverty that is most disturbing. I think you'll find that it is where you live and who you associate with that makes the difference. I...
