    BabyRN2Be replied to perfer2Banonymous's topic in General Nursing

    BabyRN2Be replied to cindyrn1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    BabyRN2Be replied to mbelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, now that's scary. I know this has nothing to do with the original thread, but how do they get around DEA laws doing this?? Sounds highly illegal. And these people are highly annoying because I get...

    13yr olds having babies.

    BabyRN2Be replied to LilTiger1971's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually, I was going to ask the same thing. LilTiger71 hasn't been back since she posted this. Maybe she found this BB and was unloading. LilTiger71, if you are still out there, you are still in my...

    BabyRN2Be replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Reducing misuse of Emergency Departments!

    BabyRN2Be replied to hmccartn's topic in Emergency

    That's just really incredible that people think that if you are inconvenienced by waiting in the ED, that the staff is obligated to bring you a meal. Good grief! In my early 20's I had some problems...

    Question about rectal exam

    BabyRN2Be replied to rachel18us's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Do you mean that OU only sees their own students or asking if pts are seen by medical students? I think that there are some doctors on staff in private practice who charge a little less. Pts. may be...

    Nursing Salary Hall of Shame

    BabyRN2Be replied to eagleriver's topic in General Nursing

    Unless your home is solar powered, of course. Those figures are just discouraging. I just hope that's not the norm. Not that I'm looking to get anywhere rich in nursing, but I'd like to be able to...
