  1. A stupid question...

    Cherry2 replied to Cherry2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, I am in Toronto-- but the real problem is my grades. I just don't know if I will get in. I just started back this week, and I am going to do all I can to bring my grades up this term (math was...

  2. Ever felt like you were being pressured?

    Cherry2 replied to carebear_21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If all you really want is to be a nurse- be a nurse. You obviously could make a great doctor- but if you want to be a nurse, then who cares what they say. Of course- you could always be that doc that...

  3. At what gestation would YOU want YOUR baby saved?

    Cherry2 replied to StacyC417's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I was a 26 weeker in 1980.All I can say is thank goodness my parents wouldn't let me go, despite some of the 'advise' they got. I will be 26 years old soon and there isn't a thing wrong with me. I...

  4. All You Lefty's Out there....

    Cherry2 replied to Melly1022's topic in General Nursing

    I am such a lefty. When my son was just starting on solid foods, I used to feed myself and him at the same time, but because I must eat with my left, I had to feed him with my right, What a hopeless...

  5. Body Worlds

    Cherry2 replied to Golden_Clover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went to body worlds 2 about three months ago here in Toronto- and I loved it. I was upset the whole time however b/c all I could think was since I am a prenursing student and haven't yet taken...

  6. DIC Survivor

    Cherry2 replied to hunnybee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am so glad you are alive, but so sad you missed the early time with your baby. Thank goodness you are here for everything else. Have you considered starting an online support group, or one in your...

  7. Age when you had your first child?

    Cherry2 replied to sugabuga's topic in Ob/Gyn

    23- and it has been the perfect age for me. My son is now a year old, and I can keep up with him. Also, during all the early nights when I had to get up to breastfeed, it wasn't hard for me to get up...

  8. To the 'Negative Nurses'

    Cherry2 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I have recently applied to nursing school- and I am very excited. I come here once in awhile to see what 'real' nurses do, etc. Do you know how disheartening it is to read all of these negative...

  9. To the 'Negative Nurses'

    Cherry2 replied to Cherry2's topic in Nursing Career

    Please don't misunderstand- I, in no way, meant this negatively. I know everyone needs to vent- I just want everyone to remember too, that even when they are the most miserable- someone out there...

  10. Lapel watches???

    Cherry2 replied to salliwag's topic in General Nursing

    I am planning on getting on once I start school. I hate the feeling of a watch strap (weird I guess, lol) so that will be all I will use. I don't care if it is in fashion or not, it will just work...

  11. How Many sucessful VBAC's..

    Cherry2 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    How often does your hospital have sucessful VBAC'S? Does your hospital even allow them? Have you had any really bad outcomes? If you had had a prior c-section would you consider VBAC for yourself?...

  12. Non-viable baby, born alive -parent won't hold him, what do you do?

    Cherry2 replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    *sob*

  13. How Many sucessful VBAC's..

    Cherry2 replied to Cherry2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know not to get an induction- and I won't be going that route no matter what anyway. I want to have a natural birth, but even if I feel I need something, I will NOT get an epi. Why though did you...

  14. How Many sucessful VBAC's..

    Cherry2 replied to Cherry2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well my reason for asking is that I would like to have a VBAC- My inital c-section was done after my induction failed. I got to 2cm but not enough that the doctor felt okay to break my water, and my...

  15. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    Cherry2 replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I do- but as for you? I have no idea. You seem to be fond of insulting others and you seem quite insensitive. I wouldn't want someone with that attitude as my nurse. Personally I think it is...

  16. *rant* "Nurse" at office answering questions.

    Cherry2 replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is OT- but I really, really hate that too! My friend (who lives very far from me- she is in Australia) had started out breastfeeding and when her daughter started to lose a tiny bit of weight, it...

  17. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    Cherry2 replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never responded with my opinion on the topic- lol. As someone who DID NOT do any dissections in high school (did them all on computers instead, which I had to talk to the principal about just to be...

  18. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    Cherry2 replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :uhoh21: Just because you 'grew out' of it doesn't mean everyone does. I have been veggie for 12 years and if someone said something to me like you just said to the OP I would have some not-so-nice...

  19. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Cherry2 replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have just read every single one of these, from the beginning, over the past three days. I have laughed, till I cried, and I have learned things that I could never have imagined. I have eaten...

  20. Women who don't know they're pregnant

    Cherry2 replied to StarNurse2006's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Another one here! In September 2003 I stopped getting my periods, went to the doc in oct when it still wasn't back- I had taken 2 pregnancy tests already and they were negative so my doctor told me...

  21. So many questions..

    Cherry2 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Okay- I am not a nurse yet (planning on starting school in another year) My son was born this past october and I have so many questions that I need answered. I understand if no one wants to. I hope...

  22. So many questions..

    Cherry2 replied to Cherry2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you fpr your post. Alot of what you said is what I had initially thought might have happened (although some I didn't realize might have been due to hospital size or staffing) As I said, at the...

  23. So many questions..

    Cherry2 replied to Cherry2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ""Did they try to ripen that closed tight cervix at all? "" I was sent in for some monitoring on a wednesday- all was fine then, but was told they were inducing on saturday if nothing had happened....

  24. Are Canadian schools..

    Cherry2 posted a topic in International Nursing

    I have been reading the posts from American nursing students, and while I know it will be tough either way, it just seems like it is so much more difficult for Americans? One post the person said the...

  25. Are Canadian schools..

    Cherry2 replied to Cherry2's topic in International Nursing

    Appologies accepted- but now you have to give me the rest of that seal meat you have, to make up for
