  2. Cervidil and uterine rupture

    lady_jezebel replied to lady_jezebel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Smiling, thanks for your info. I'm not trying to inform myself of this b/c I am considering being induced, or "as an OB pt". I'm just interested in OB issues b/c I'm a nurse, and now pregnant. I'm...

  3. Cervidil and uterine rupture

    lady_jezebel replied to lady_jezebel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Isn't there an increased risk of uterine rupture with Cervidil ABOVE the baseline risk? Are pts informed of all possible side-effects & potential adverse events before its application? Do pts sign...

  4. Cervidil and uterine rupture

    lady_jezebel replied to lady_jezebel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    To me it seemed like a direct cause-and-effect event, but that's probably b/c I know almost nothing about OB! Ok, thanks -- obviously I made an incorrect assumption here. The thing that bothered me...

  8. If you could get your Master's Degree...What would you get it in?

    lady_jezebel replied to LPNtoBSNstudent's topic in General Nursing

  9. Cervidil and uterine rupture

    lady_jezebel replied to lady_jezebel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Unlike Cytotec (which is very controversial & NOT approved for OB purposes), Cervidil is approved for labor induction. It is a prostaglandin. It is commonly used without major adverse events, I...

    lady_jezebel replied to Angela Mac's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously the guy was in a lot of internal pain, but jeez -- how selfish! His wife and children will NEVER get over this, no matter how much therapy or support they get. It's tragic all the way...

  11. hey, u guys know where i can get the previous RN exam tests?

    lady_jezebel replied to rnc4life's topic in International Nursing

    Not in existence. However, Mosby & other study guides are loaded with similar questions. I'd recommend getting a book with a CD-ROM to study with. The NCLEX is done via CAT testing, where...

    lady_jezebel replied to shorty0201's topic in Psychiatric

  14. Beat up by a resident, what to do??

    lady_jezebel replied to purple_angel24521's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yikes. I would contact an "Employment Law" attorney, OSHA and my state nursing board. You want your employer to be liable for any potential injuries you could now have. Additionally, you deserve to...

  15. Confidence problem?

    lady_jezebel replied to MountainMama's topic in Nursing Career

    lady_jezebel replied to cgzca's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a serious post? There are thousands of male nurses in the US. I work with many excellent, highly professional male nurses. Gender has NOTHING to do with how successful a person will be in this...

  18. social anxiety disorder

    lady_jezebel replied to sophieness's topic in Nursing Career

    Honestly, just take it one day at a time. You will eventually build the skills and confidence in talking to patients, once you learn to place the focus on them rather than yourself. As you become more...

    lady_jezebel replied to Heather R.N.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes, there were pregnant women & mothers in my program. Though nursing school is VERY demanding, they were able to do it! You can do it, too! It may be difficult to have the new baby during...

    lady_jezebel replied to jessjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Bilateral numbness, dizziness & rapid heartrate sounds like anxiety to me. Either generalized anxiety or possibly a panic attack. But of course other medical diagnoses should be ruled out first....

  24. Are you in Nursing for the Caring or the Cash?? Be Honest

    lady_jezebel replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing
