    A nurse who doesn't breastfeed

    TexRN replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't care if you formula feed to be honest but don't do it out of spite because of judgmental comments. Don't have time to pump at work? You're protected by law. There is your time. As for those...

    TexRN replied to chernandez3841's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I haven't felt that way about the book yet. I'm 105 pages into it so I'm about to enter the science portion. I took the first practice test online and scored a 58%. I made mid-upper 70's in reading,...

    TexRN posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Well I did pretty darn well in every section BUT science. I knew that would be my hardest subject because I HATE cell biology, and I can't remember jack about balancing equations and all that. Thank...

    Which is harder: A&P 1 or A&P 2?

    TexRN replied to giraffe4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't taken a&p2 yet, but I'm going to say a&p1 is harder because if you don't understand the nitty gritty in the first few chapters, it all builds on each other, so if you don't...

    The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    TexRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There is actually no such thing as nipple confusion. Babies are very smart. They get nipple preference because of a faster flow. Also, it is HIGHLY uncommon for a baby under 2 to quit breastfeeding on...

    Anyone else terrified you won't get accepted?

    TexRN replied to hmowry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Understatement! Until we're 20 years into nursing we probably won't be nervous anymore! First, you're worried about getting straight A's. then you're worried about the Teas or HESI score, then you're...

    Should Nurses help Doctors in Physician assisted suicide (euthanasia)

    TexRN replied to Caleb12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think that if we can euthanize people that cannot choose for themselves legally, why shouldn't nurses be allowed to assist in something that for once is fully informed consent? Their body, their...

    The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    TexRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The reason I say "ignorant" is because she clearly does not understand the physiology of the first 3 DOL if she thinks a pacifier will do no harm, she is mistaken. Which I could probably safely assume...

    I just finished the 17 weeker of A&P1. That class was easy for me, we move into blood the first week of the 8 week A&P2 and since I'm a lab tech that's my specialty! I was able to get a class...
