  1. Obstetric fistula--an epidemic in Ethiopia

    CEG replied to stevierae's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is squatting or having an unattended birth really related to fistulas? I was hoping if my upcoming babe was as ginormous as the last to try squatting if I needed

  2. Are they still using Cytotec?

    CEG replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was induced with cytotec with my daughter. I had to sign a waiver that stated it was being used off label and was not approved by the FDA for that use. It also outlined the risks and gave...

  3. "Witch's Milk"

    CEG replied to VickyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How does it happen in male babies if they don't have the "hardware" they need to produce milk? Same question about the pseudomenses? (Getting ready to have a baby boy of my own :)

  4. Finding out gender at 5 weeks!

    CEG replied to sddlnscp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I saw a TV segment on this test. It looks for Y chromosomes in mom's blood (apparently from the minute amount of blood that crosses the placenta). The presence of a Y chromosome means boy, and the...

  5. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    CEG replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats Gen!! Best of luck!

  6. Questions from an aspiring CNM

    CEG replied to SeekingNur's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm also a CNM wannabe. I was recently admitted to a combined rn-msn program. In my particular program you complete a pre-RN portion in 15 months. Once you pass the N-CLEX you can begin working and...

  7. Sudafed during pregnancy? Help, I'm miserable!

    CEG replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm just a student but also pregnant. I just had the same problem. My midwife gave me a list of medications considered safe to take in pregnancy and sudafed was on it, so I took it, minimum dose,...

  8. Sperm life span (not graphic!)

    CEG replied to KiwiAngel_18's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wasn't there but I have reason to believe that two educated 30 year olds who have been married for five years and have two kids know what sex is. There is also no reason for them to lie about it....

  9. Sperm life span (not graphic!)

    CEG replied to KiwiAngel_18's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am just a student but I have a friend who got pregnant without having intercourse. There was obviously "heavy petting" involved but never penetration. I guess their parents are very religious and...

  10. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    CEG replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gen, I'm really sorry to hear you didn't get accepted:o At least the waiting is over. I'm doing the happy dance because I did get in, but I think the odds were much more in my favor in my...

  11. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    CEG replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Gen, My interview went pretty well. They are accepting 8 or so out of the 15 who interviewed. I was dying to know when they are letting us know. Not until the 16th?? I was hoping to know any...

  12. Are unnecessary c-sections on the rise?

    CEG replied to TNT2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not an Ob nurse, so I am just curious. Can you explain why is there a 1/3 increase due to higher rate of discovering dystocia? Are there 1/3 more cases of dystocia? What do you mean by discovering...

  13. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    CEG replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi again, I got an e-mail back. Unfortunately, they didn't answer my question about the numbers. I guess I am sort of out of luck because I don't want to ask again. I don't want to be known as the...

  14. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    CEG replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all, especially Gen, I got a packet from UIC today that says my interview is May 3. They are having basically an all day event with information sessions for the Midwifery and Women's health...

  15. Interview Questions

    CEG replied to ddzwalker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a sticky somewhere on this site that has some interview questions. Somewhere in the nusring student forums I think. Good

  16. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    CEG replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks everyone for the encouragement. We're almost there. Thanks, Gen for the directions! I am not sure if I will fly or not, it kind of depends on when the interview is. My husband and I would...

  19. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    CEG replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It took me so long to write my post I didn't even notice you edited yours:) Well, I guess they want to make sure we can stay calm under pressure so they're dragging it out. Hopefully we will know...

  20. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    CEG replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Gen, The website update is very strange- at work I cannot see the change, but at home I can see it. Maybe I have somehow hacked into their website due to the sheer number of times I have looked at...

  21. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    CEG replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  22. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    CEG replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I'm in upstate NY, I will have agonizing couple of extra days. Hopefully they will send out an e-mail so at least we know they're on the way. Trying to maintain my composure,

  23. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    CEG replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I scared my mailman today. I was watching him come down the street. I'm usually not even home so I think he was surprised to see me standing right next to the mail slot. Tomorrow I'll...

  24. New OB Nurses, Grads and Students, Please Feel Free to post your questions here:

    CEG replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a labor and delivery/midwife hopeful. I have applied to an accelerated BSN/MSN program that will allow me to work while doing my MSN part time so I can get a few years experience. My question...

  25. Experiences of the male nursing student

    CEG replied to framps's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Well, in the Army the female does not have the same opportunities a male has various reasons, physical strength being one of them. There is little doubt in my mind that if something heavy needed to be...
