My proposed solution to help is to increase the number of Nurse Midwives and competant OBGyns (preferably female). I had my first two babies under the charge of male OBGyns, both who discounted my pre-enclamypsia symptoms. I thought with a track reco...

My mom worked in the lab in the late sixties/early seventies. Blood came down in a bottle, and all the blood was drawn up with a pipette that you sucked on to pull the blood up, and then blew the blood into each little tube for testing. In the 80s wh...

The time travel reference was a grace passed on to me by someone who had it passed on to her. She had been sitting by her mom's bedside for weeks, giving her mom love, encouragement, and permission to die. Finally, after an exhausting two weeks, her ...

You too Danni!

Guilt does serve a practical and positive purpose. It is the only way we have to time travel. It's knowing how and when to let go of the guilt that proves to be problematic for most people.

I'm just putting it out there that I am now on a first-name basis with the fungi in my bathroom. The whole family is looking forward to December lol.

Thurs lab, starting in mat/peds with mon class & lecture

Just want to put it out there that the class I needed and registered for STILL has openings as of 4:45. Irrational, displaced anger anyone?

Glad it's over! I got an 87.5. How did everyone else do?

Just FYI, the bookstore has the ursing books but it wont have the nursing kit until "sometime" this week.

I'm only like a tenth of the way into the big nursing book, although Im halfway through Clinical Calculations and Ive done a bunch of NCLEX stuff. Ive followed a nurse a few times and I'm going to follow a tech soon. Ive also studied up on some patho...

Yeah! It's about time! Geez, they were letting you sweat it out.

You can have autistic characteristics and not be autistic. I have many characteristics of autism also but that doesn't make me autistic.

I agreed to let medical personnel study me and they would talk for a long time and then suddenly "snap to" and realize I was a live human being, smile awkwardly, and then go back to talking. It was funny to me, but I wasn't in pain. When I was in pai...

I can't wait either, momtofore!

The more time I spend in the medical sphere the more I believe good sticks are an art and some got it and some do not. I have rolling veins and whenever I was pregnant was covered in bruises from the lab. Ouch! Sending you my sympathy! I havnt heard ...

At Cooper we got our cards that night so maybe you will too. They waited on the class prices til like a wwek ago because they werent sure how much they were going to charge per credit.

It was great to meet you guys! FYI for everyone else, apparently there are a lot of people (guess how I found out) handing in their packets with their CPR card not signed - so just a reminder so no one else gets rejected!

I WOULD like to point out that in 1991, when 27 weeks was touch-and-go, the smallest baby at that time ever to survive was revived by a nurse after the mother had agreed to let the baby go. Reading this mom's story of the heartbreak, divroce, and ove...

Im 40 and will be 42 when I get my ADN. I will only have 30 credits to get my BSN after that... so say 44 when I get my BSN. I did it this way because I wanted to keep a good work/life balance and because my employer will pay a certain amount each ye...

Im ready... what time? Momtofore, can you send me the address? Thanks

Yes, I think that's what is most frustrating for all of us - depending on other people to get stuff we need quickly and efficiently.

My doc is a moron - first they forgot to give me the lab stuff so my packet got rejected. The second time, I thought.. lets read the whole thing first and viola... on the lab report it says "patient not immune to Hep B" but where the doc fills out th...

Glad, I asked about online vs. paper at GCC and they said it's entirely up to me(you). I also was debating because some programs make you buy an Ipod touch so you can have the info online while you are doing clinicals. GCC doesn't, but I was wonderin...

See, I didnt even think about that. I figured all first semester since the list of Chapters covered in just the first four sessions was so many.
