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

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

    Hi Gen, I saw a new post on this thread by you and I freaked out. Nothing yet, huh? Grrrr..... I saw their orientation stuff on the website when I was obsessively checking it last week. Very...

  2. solution for the perineum??

    CEG replied to khine2mn80's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not a nurse yet, but after my daughter was born I had a second degree tear and I was given Baby Magic baby soap to mix with water in a peri bottle. Seemed to work pretty well and smelled great

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

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

    Ach, I'm getting more nervous just posting about it. I applied for midwifery. It's the #3 ranked mw program in the nation. I would absolutely love to do this program. I am already holding my breath...

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

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

    Still here waiting with you Gen! I go from confident to I am getting in to thinking they are laughing at my application right now.... I just need to know! good

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

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

    I'm still anxiously awaiting my acceptance, but enjoying this thread. I think working makes me a better mommy. I can go out, do the adult thing all day, then I am excited to see my daughter when I...

  6. Experiences of the male nursing student

    CEG replied to framps's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sorry but I had to laugh a little reading through this thread- as a woman in the Army I have been called a "female soldier" thousands of times over. The female is no more relevant than the "male" in...

  7. Bad Delivery

    CEG replied to gladtobeOB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In my opinion those people are the exact opposite of what Bradley is supposed to be. The whole point of avoiding meds, etc is for the health of the baby. Benefits to mom factor in too of course, but...

  8. Bad Delivery

    CEG replied to gladtobeOB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I attended Bradley classes when I was pregnant with my daughter. I ended up with an induction at 42 weeks, pain meds, etc. But the classes are really about being informed. There is even a session on...

  9. Labor, birth and spectators

    CEG replied to KRVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Grrr, lost my original post... Maybe you could tell your mother-in-law if she wants to be there she has to attend a childbirth class with you. Some hospitals offer all day Saturday classes. That way...

  10. becoming a lactation consultant?

    CEG posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Does anyone know of any programs to become certified as a lactation consultant? I would like to do this now, but the only program (IBLCE) I have seen you have to have many hours experience helping...

  11. Birth plan help (again) - assisted delivery

    CEG replied to reprise's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm just a student but I THINK that if the baby was far enough down in the birth canal to use forceps/vacuum that would be attempted rather than a C-section at that point because to accomplish the...

  12. Question about amnios?

    CEG replied to Burnt Out's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am not a nurse, just a student, but you can refuse the amnio if it wouldn't affect your decision to continue the pregnancy. You can refuse anything you are not comfortable with. The only potential...

  14. New Mama Baby RN

    CEG replied to MeMaRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am still in mostly lurker/not yet a nurse status myself but I can tell you what happened when I recently had my baby in a community hospital. My daughter roomed in with me and they did all the...

  15. BSN program in upstate NY??

    CEG posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hello, I am looking for a BSN program in upstate NY. I have a BA in another field so I am looking for an accelerated program or one that will allow me to transfer in as a junior. I have been looking...

  16. The Pain Scale - too subjective IMO

    CEG replied to FZ1Tom's topic in General Nursing

    The pain scale drove me insane when I was in labor. I am not a nurse yet, so I had no expertise to go along with it. First I said "4". The nurse said, "Really? 4? That's almost halfway to 10?"...

  17. Hard to get OB?

    CEG posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello, I am new to these boards but really enjoying them! I am a sort-of nursing student right now. I am taking the pre-req courses I can schedule around work (military) until I can start nursing...
