1. sextuplets

   Nikki730 replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU

   The news is reporting that the Morrison's have lost another of their babies--a daughter named Lucia Rae. They still have one child, a boy named Silas, in the NICU. This has really turned into a terrible tragedy for them. I hope they have a good s...

   Nikki730 replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU

   Well, you just never know. In a world where people can bring a lawsuit for $54 million because the dry cleaner didn't return their pants on the day they needed them, the founders of a charity probably have some sort of paperwork drawn up about what ...

3. sextuplets

   Nikki730 replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU

   As far as the money donated to the Morrisons, I'm sure they'll find a legitimate use for it. Even if only one of the babies survives, I'm sure it will generate lots of bills (surgeries, nursing care, medicines, maybe special tutoring or different t...

   Nikki730 replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU

   The latest article I read about the Morrison sextuplets said that the hospital won't be releasing anymore information about them. I wonder if this was at the parents request. The parents actually have a website (you can use google to look for it)...

   Nikki730 replied to wannabeL&D's topic in NICU

   I read on their website this evening that their baby passed away. I'm sure they are devastated. It is so sad--yet it sounded like their child couldn't recover--she was just barely surviving, so they kept hoping...

   Nikki730 replied to collegegurl_2003's topic in General Students

   How about digital stimulation? Don't know if the patient would comply though.

   Nikki730 replied to klone's topic in General Students

   Klone, try not to beat yourself up too badly over your grade. Try to see the big picture. If your dream is to go on to get a master's degree or whatever, one B (or a few of them) shouldn't hurt your chances too much. Also, remember that you have ...

   Nikki730 posted a topic in General Students

   well, today i failed my 3rd pharmacology test. we get 4 chances (the date and time for each test is determined by the school, not by the students.) if we don't pass by at least the fourth test, we are dropped from all our classes. i'm so upset i d...

11. How many weeks left in your semester?

    Nikki730 posted a topic in General Students

    Counting the week that starts Monday, and excluding Spring Break, how many weeks do you have left for your semester? How many weeks long is your semester. Ours are 16 weeks, and that feels like a very long time. I have 9 weeks. May 10th can't co...

    Nikki730 replied to altonice's topic in General Students

    I think you can do it. I remember one busy summer I had: a 3-week American history class, a 5-week Spanish one class, a 5-week Physics class, and then Spanish 2 the last 5 weeks of summer. I made 2 A's and 2 B's. Just remember, you don't have to ...

14. Full Time Job AND Nursing School?!?!?!?

    Nikki730 replied to Melly1022's topic in General Students

    I'm working full time in nursing school and it's pretty awful. My job (I work in quality assurance, as a laboratory technician), lets me use my vacation (3 weeks per year) as well as personal time (48 hours per year) in tiny increments, if necessary...
