  2. Professional in scrubs?

    I was thinking about something...when my son was in the hospital, the only way that I knew who was his nurse was by the scrubs they wore. Because they each wore individual ones, I knew that his was...
  3. Professional in scrubs?

    There is absolutely NO reason to yell! I wasn't even responding to you...I was responding to others who have brought up white uniforms. This is
  4. What exactly is the EFC of financial aid?

    Nope, I'm wrong....I just checked and it $403. I wish I understood all this
  5. What exactly is the EFC of financial aid?

    I can't even find out my EFC yet! The website for FAFSA sent me an email saying they were sending the info. to my school and I have yet to hear from them, though I have checked with them. I am...
  6. What is an EMG?

    OIY! Well, he oughtta be happy after it then, huh? LOL Thanks
  7. Endometriosis

    I'm learning, learning, learning! Thanks so much Deb....It says that IBS can accompany it and that could be why they are having such a hard time diagnosing me, though we don't know for sure that I...
  8. Thoughts on working with a laboring patient with a deceased baby?

    sbic56...that would be my big concern as well.....since we are talking about this, does your hospital have grief counselors readily available or do you just rely on the chaplain or how does that
  9. Endometriosis

    Thanks Suzy253! I might do that especially when I generate questions after reading all this stuff! I am getting the run around with my OB...he's put me on the pill to "wait and see" if it helps. I'm...
  10. my college is scaring me

    Can someone copy the original post so that I can read it...I haven't been able to get to the first page for two days now!!!!!
  11. Thoughts on working with a laboring patient with a deceased baby?

    ((((Deb and Camay)))) While I know it is not the same at all, I had a loss at 7 weeks gestation. I also watched a dear cousin go through loss after loss after loss. I'm thinking of you...... and...
  12. Endometriosis

    Thanks Deb. I sooo appreciate it and can see where my morning is going to be spent once I finish up here of course!
  13. Professional in scrubs?

    White...hmmmm...who's gonna clean it for me? Cuz it sure ain't gonna be me!
  14. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    If I had to get a BSN right off the bat instead of going back later to get it after my ADN, I wouldn't even be going in to nursing. I would have to find another profession, probably business (yeck!)...
  15. NCLEX review book all through school?

    Deb...what version of NCLEX review would you recommend? I'm assuming they'll be coming out with a ton of new ones due to the new testing, or don't you guys think so since I am sure the concept is the...
  16. NCLEX review book all through school?

    I remember back when I first joined (geez, that was so long ago...2 months) that someone mentioned having a NCLEX review book all through school and that they referred to it a lot. Would you...
  17. Thoughts on working with a laboring patient with a deceased baby?

    If I can find any extra time, maybe I'll look it up on the net. Don't know if I'll find much, but I'll see and then pass it
  18. Thoughts on working with a laboring patient with a deceased baby?

    I had thought of that as well.....that maybe they couldn't grieve as well with a section....it's a thought, but how are we to really know? I wonder if there have been any studies done? It would make...
  19. Thoughts on working with a laboring patient with a deceased baby?

    Besides..some dr's do c-sections routinely just to fit the birth into their schedules, etc....so in this instance I still think it should be up to the mom. It would be HER
  20. Thoughts on working with a laboring patient with a deceased baby?

    I just said what I "think" and I am entitled to that. I know what my Aunt went through and cannot imagine putting anyone through that. Why does everything have to turn into a debate around
  21. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    You might want to go back and read more of the thread before you just jump right in with that
  22. Thoughts on working with a laboring patient with a deceased baby?

    It still seems like in these scenarios that the patient should be able to decide how they want to deliver. I am not an advocate of c-sections for convenience, but this is one case where I would think...
  23. NCLEX review book all through school?

    And, if I waited until at least my second year, it would be an updated book as well, right? Hmmmm...something to ponder! I did get a "key nursing skills" book and it is simple to follow and probably...
  24. My son is almost 2, never breastfeed, but lactating?

    Thanks, mitchsmom....I breastfed Bryce from birth until about 3 1/2 months. He had a terrible overbite, wasn't getting the sucking, we had thrush, and I wasn't producing enough...he was trying to eat...
  25. Professional in scrubs?
