    Feeding Unpasteurized Goat Milk?

    BabyRN2Be replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I couldn't agree with you more, MM. A few decades ago I was "diagnosed" with several dozen allergies. It turns out that we (my family) fell victim to a true quack who diagnosed EVERYONE with the same...

    Feeding Unpasteurized Goat Milk?

    BabyRN2Be replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow. I'd think that would be a problem with all the warnings about unpasteurized products and the risk of listeria. Sounds like some education is needed here, informing her of potential risks if she...

    Fibromyalgia

    BabyRN2Be replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    MM, Are you being serious?? If yes, there are some 14 pressure points they look at to see if you meet the criteria of fibromyalgia. If you have pain in half of them (or something like that), then...

    Fibromyalgia

    BabyRN2Be replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    Smiles04, I'm just wondering if you are referring to me. I had noticed you referenced one of my old, old posts (from maybe about 3 years ago). You had mentioned "the lady with all the pain and fibro."...

    Well, Les, we'll be here and waiting! I'm a bored preggo and need something "suspenseful"! I do hope that this turns out to be a longer term summer romance. I can't wait to see what happens and I'll...

    nclext cut off at 85

    BabyRN2Be replied to billyehaynes's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The test cuts off at the point in which you were answering 50% of the questions correctly. I can't remember if you took the PN or RN (I think Tweety said the PN) but for first time, non-international...

    IUD Pregnancies

    BabyRN2Be replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Considering that I had two pregnancies with an IUD in place, both resulting in miscarriages exactly one year apart, I don't place high faith in the IUD. It's just not myself, but since the makers of...

    What do you all think of tele patients drinking coffee

    BabyRN2Be replied to RNCRNA2BE's topic in General Nursing

    Not that meal replacement drinks are all that great either. I was visiting a PP client in the hospital and happened to read the label on the meal replacement drink that came with her regular diet....

    What do you all think of tele patients drinking coffee

    BabyRN2Be replied to RNCRNA2BE's topic in General Nursing

    What about decaffeinated coffee? Just wondering, are you sure that's not what's already been sent up? I've been on a tele floor once before, and they automatically sent up decaffeinated everything -...

    Best of luck to you Les and I hope it goes well! Wishing you the best of luck. :) For the record: I am 8 years older than my husband and it works well for us. I really don't see why age should matter...

    Thoughts on Plan B

    BabyRN2Be replied to socalgirlie's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to talk about this, but many years ago I took emergency contraception suggested by the SANE nurse. My mind was a mess at the time and I was in shock, numb and all I could think of, "What if I...

    Calling yourself a "nurse"

    BabyRN2Be replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    This is one of my pet peeves as well. I hate it when the MA at the doctor's office refers to herself as a nurse. One of the other offices I go to the person who does lab draws, weight, BP, etc doesn't...

    BabyRN2Be replied to Almabella's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Almabella, I've been a doula for the last 9 years, and I was considered a PP doula before becoming certified as a birth doula. I will answer your questions as best as I can as I am not a nurse but...

    Who's got their hand in the Demerol cookie JAR?

    BabyRN2Be replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    From what I understand, it depends on office policy. Some offices will write for 3 months, some won't. At the end of 3 months, I'd go in and see her for med checks. Sometimes it will vary state by...

    Does This Send the Wrong Message?

    BabyRN2Be posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    On one of the other MB I'm a member at, I have a pregnancy ticker for different weeks of my pregnancy. It was OK until I saw yesterday's ticker. I'm not sure if it will show up here: Use this code:...

    BabyRN2Be replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    This happened recently at the clinic my brother goes to for ADD. Of course, the doctors scripts are signed before hand. They just sit in the desk until the doc is ready to write a prescription. I...

    I really didn't mean to start a pro-life/pro-choice discussion. That wasn't my intent. GeorgiagalRN picked up my point very well. There's going to be someone out there who will see this, and is tired...
