  2. Identity Crisis! OB vs Peds HELP!

    Hopefully you'll get the tech job and gain more insight. I think our clinical rotations do play a big role in what we choose. I thought I had my heart set on Peds, but after I was finished I had to...

  10. What if my all isn't enough?

  13. Hemolytic disease of the newborn

    I don't believe the Rhogam injection given to the mother would be enough to allow the fetus to mount its own immune response. If that were the case, we wouldn't have to give children their own...

  15. Can you recommend an OB textbook?

    I'm a nursing student in an ADN program and I just finished my OB and Peds rotation. I love our OB book, in contrast to the Peds book which was so tedious and repetitive. The OB book has a nice flow...

  22. How do I 'toughen up?'

    I know you're upset right now. I tend to dwell on things like this too but in reality in a week, month, year from now will this woman matter? No. So keep up the good work, you can't please everyone...
  23. CSN RN 2011
