  5. The NCLEX is the same nationwide. I think the difference in California may be in the depth of the RN program itself. There is some sort of difference in Cali from other states but I can't be sure of...

  14. IUD's pro's & Con's

    I loved my copper IUD. I had it placed at my 6 week checkup after my 3rd child. We were pretty sure we didnt want any more children but weren't ready to make it a permanent decision. There is a risk...
  15. My personal opinion is that you cannot take your children on a job interview. Honestly how productive would it be? You wouldnt be able to give your full attention to the interviewer. I have done...
  16. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

  21. Need help. Hypotonic vs Hypertonic

    I had the same problem until I finally got it straight. My way of thinking is that the HYPERtonic solutions have more solutes than the vascular space. So if you put hypertonic into the blood stream...
  22. Youngest labor patient?

    I'm sorry but statutory rape also think of incest. That 'step-father' was a father figure to her. I beg all of you to slow down with that teenage girl and LOOK and ASK if you have to about the...
