  1. "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...

  2. 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...

  3. 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...

  8. 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...

    tuppence replied to chuckcamp's topic in General Students

    Oh, I didn't mean to imply that it was true everywhere, just in my area. I'm glad things are easier

  11. PRIVATE school vs. PUBLIC school

    tuppence replied to chuckcamp's topic in General Students

    The public university here is a lot more competitive to get into than the private schools. But the private schools are flooded, too. It's at the point where if you are transferring from another...

    I'm Erin, 25, I live in Minnesota and I'm the mom of a 2 1/2 year old boy and a newborn girl (born July 15). I took most of my pre-req's last year, but have a couple more to do this year. I've...

  15. Wishes Regarding Students in Birth Plans

    tuppence replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you. I had originally asked that the catheter be placed after I got the spinal, but the nurse came back later and said that the doctor wanted it done beforehand because he wanted things to go as...

  16. Wishes Regarding Students in Birth Plans

    tuppence replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Gosh, when I had my son a couple of years ago, I let a student nurse insert my foley catheter BEFORE I got my spinal. It took her four tries -- ouch! Oh, well, I'm having another baby any day now...

  18. my daughters blood test proved positive for downs syndrome

    tuppence replied to scotdanzer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As others have said, it's just a screening test, and tells whether there is an increased likelihood of the baby having Down syndrome -- it doesn't by any means mean that the baby for sure has it. Did...

  19. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    tuppence replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    Well, a combination of factors. I mean, I have a family, so any career that won't give me a stable job with benefits and a certain amount of money is right out. But that's not my whole reason. I...
