    BabyRN2Be replied to rachel18us's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey Rachel, I didn't catch this before, but you're in OKC - I'm in Tulsa. What about going to see someone at the OU Health Sciences Center in OKC? I'm sure they'll accept ANY insurance and they'll...

    BabyRN2Be replied to crankyasanoldma's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't know if this has been updated, but I had heard the other night on national news that this woman had tried to sell the surviving twin to a relative for bond money. I tried to find a link to...

    Working with Doulas

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess that I'm very different that other doulas. I'm totally understanding of the nurse's job. My mom was a nurse for many years and before I got into the doula aspect, I had a degree in speech...

    Any Success with Dr. Budwig tx for cancer

    BabyRN2Be replied to wenron's topic in General Nursing

    I know that Kevin has covered this, but Dr. Barrett doesn't state that ALL chiropractors are quacks. He does state something like, "If one claims to cure something that is not related to the body part...

    Question about rectal exam

    BabyRN2Be replied to rachel18us's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've had some doctors do rectal exams and some don't. I do know the SS of colon/rectal cancer and wouldn't hesitate talking to someone if I had a concern. I know it's embarrassing, but it's important....

    Loss

    BabyRN2Be replied to L&D_RN_OH's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As someone who has always wanted to work in the life affirming area of Labor and Delivery, the reality of it is not every event turns out positive. Moms die, we deliver stillbirths, birth defect, etc....

    Doctors behaving badly

    BabyRN2Be replied to Darchild77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd say get everyone involved. The more people on board, the better. Make your voices and intentions known to the nurse manager. She might think that nurses are expendable, but a hospital can't...

    Scripps Memorial La Jolla

    BabyRN2Be replied to mandykatrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Scripps Memorial in LaJolla... ahhh, that brings back memories. I worked as a candy striper about 17 years ago in OB/GYN. It was a wonderful floor and a top hospital in a nice area (how could La Jolla...

    Midwives Popular, But More Forced out of Business

    BabyRN2Be replied to bigmona's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is just really sad. Women are losing their choices in childbirth to the almighty dollar. Forgive me if I'm stepping on anyone's toes. I know that OB/midwives have high insurance rates, but...

    Can you believe this?

    BabyRN2Be replied to LolaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know that I'm rather late on this, but I was wondering if the Nic patch was contraindicated, not the smoking. :) I KNOW that smoking in contraindicated. I'm allergic to cigaretter smoke big time, I...

    Got bad news

    BabyRN2Be replied to Future_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hon, don't give up. It's definitely not the end of the world... not anywhere near! College prep classes are good to have, but not required. Work hard in 9th grade, and see about next year. It's...

    Career change to become RN

    BabyRN2Be replied to idealw8's topic in General Nursing

    Although I'm not familiar with PA, there are many schools that will take a student who has a BS, they go through the program and end up with a Masters in Nursing in two years. If it's available close...

    BabyRN2Be replied to Purple Princess's topic in General Nursing

    Don't give up Purple Princess and Elizabeth. The road to nursing is a long, sometimes difficult journey with a lot of bumps in the road. Please don't give up and by all means please keep us posted on...

    Wow! With some quick figuring up at 2:15am; if she's making $40/hr, that's $65,280/yr!! Is this the same person that comes in and scans your belly or whatever with a transducer, the ones who work with...

    Question about RN Test!

    BabyRN2Be replied to Deb123j's topic in General Nursing

    For what it's worth, in my opinion stay away from anything from ARCO. I've used these study guides in the past when I was studying for the GRE (which I never took). I got so frustrated when studying...

    Scared to Retake Boards

    BabyRN2Be replied to Emilys Mom's topic in General Nursing

    I second what vinnysca says. Taking a class through Kaplan would be the best prep you could do. I've always liked Kaplan products. I'm a little suspicious of ARCO though. I've used their products when...

    Salary of U/S technician

    BabyRN2Be replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a difference between Ultrasound Technician and Ultrasound Technologist? I'd think that a tech would need a little less education (like at a community college) and a technologist needs a 4...

    Woman refuses CS, charged with murder

    BabyRN2Be replied to crankyasanoldma's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I came upon the later report as I was reading this, and before I had read what Alaskakat had posted, I had a few feelings of my own. I know this might be a little unpopular, but I'd show a little...

    Baby Nursery Questions-

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabiNuRsE's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I could agree with you more!! It's really helpful to find out what is normal before you work in the abnormal realm of things. I would like to do the same thing, work in L&D/Mother/Baby and then...

    Has Anyone Read the Echo Heron Books?

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe we could get her to do something like a chat for her fans from allnurses.com? That would be pretty darn awesome... although, she'd probably charge for something like that; if that's the case, I...

    Can you believe this?

    BabyRN2Be replied to LolaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with canoehead, what is so wrong with a Nic patch? The house sup should have suggested that, or the doctor on the psych floor. BTW, I'm not a smoker and haven't been in nursing long enough to...
