   tuppence replied to kayel's topic in General Students

   I actually start tomorrow (Wednesday). I should get some sleep since I start at 8 am, but I am too excited!

2. "What could you know?!"

   tuppence replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Gosh, I don't even know if my midwives or any of my nurses have had children, except for one nurse who shared that informtion with me. I'm positive that the male perinatologist who delivered my son has never given birth.

3. Books!

   tuppence replied to tx2007's topic in General Students

   I just got mine today, too. I spent about $800. I actually had to borrow a dolly from the bookstore to get all the books to my car, because it probably would have taken me three trips.

4. A & P or Nutrition first?

   tuppence replied to Mahnikuh's topic in Ob/Gyn

   At my school, A&P is taken first, or the second semester of it is taken concurrently with Nutrition. And Nutrition wasn't an easy class by any means. I would think A&P would be hard to do as a summer class, but my professors say people see...

5. Question about checking for rupture of membranes (and LONG, about my birth, sorry)

   tuppence replied to tuppence's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks. :) All of this is really interesting to me. I just registered today for my first semester of nursing classes, for this fall. I find labor and delivery, women's health, etc., especially interesting, and can't wait to learn more.

6. Question about checking for rupture of membranes (and LONG, about my birth, sorry)

   tuppence replied to tuppence's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I had forgotten about this old thread until I started getting e-mail alerts of replies! The baby in question is a healthy, beautiful 9-month-old now. :) They may have given me antibiotics towards the end, although I don't remember anyone saying th...

7. Can someone please help me? Microbiology question...

   tuppence replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in General Students

   I only got through micro by making up lots of mnemonics for things - those funny little associations that help you remember things. It helps to get together with your friends/classmates and come up with ways to remember things together, and quiz eac...

8. Student loans - How much is too much?

   tuppence replied to ZootRN's topic in General Students

   I'm trying not to think about it. :chuckle I go to a private school, so I am taking out lots of loans. LOTS. Subsidized, Unsubsidized, SELF.... But, you know, I'm only 25, so just think of all the years of working I have ahead of me, making an inc...

9. Question about checking for rupture of membranes (and LONG, about my birth, sorry)

   tuppence replied to tuppence's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Yes, it has, it is very interesting.

10. Question about checking for rupture of membranes (and LONG, about my birth, sorry)

    tuppence replied to tuppence's topic in Ob/Gyn

    And thanks for all the congratulations, and for the information. :)

11. Question about checking for rupture of membranes (and LONG, about my birth, sorry)

    tuppence replied to tuppence's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is really interesting. The theory of the head plugging it makes sense to me. The first gush was when I was lying down taking a nap. After that, the biggest amounts were when I would move suddenly to a different position. The gush that soaked ...

12. Pregnancy and Pre-req's

    tuppence replied to msteka's topic in General Students

    Thanks, she is actually my second baby, too. We also have a 2 1/2 year old son. We're not sure if we're "done" for good, but I think we will wait until I am done with school at least before we have any more.

13. Question about checking for rupture of membranes (and LONG, about my birth, sorry)

    tuppence replied to tuppence's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks! That was really informative!

14. Question about checking for rupture of membranes (and LONG, about my birth, sorry)

    tuppence posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    What exactly do you do when a woman comes in with possible rupture of membranes? I assume you leave them to let any amniotic fluid pool for a while, then check with a speculum and then do either a ferning or nitrazine test, right? But, what positio...

15. I feel like a real DIRTBAG!

    tuppence replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can I ask a dumb question? I noticed in a post earlier on this thread, someone mentioned that a patient couldn't get out of bed once her water broke. Is that standard, or are there certain circumstances that make that necessary? What is the reason...
