  1. Foley Balloons for cervical ripening?

    Sleepy_Princess replied to RAIZIE's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm in Texas, and foley balloons are definitely used here. My OB places them in her office, so she can monitor everything herself. She inflates with 30cc and sends you off for a long, brisk walk. She...

    Sleepy_Princess replied to mama_flora's topic in Nursing Career

    Mama Flora, I posted in the other thread, but I just wanted to chime in again about the teaching part. I have been a teacher for the past five years, and I have to admit that it hasn't been what I...

  3. kids and being Nurse

    Sleepy_Princess replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is really interesting to hear so many opinions about being a nurse with kids. I've been a middle school teacher for the past 5 years, but I just started an accelerated BSN program because...

    Sleepy_Princess replied to SwtTxLdy's topic in General Nursing

    My mom, a nurse for 26 years, made me wear TED hose when I got my first job at McDonald's at age 16. She had quite a few varicose veins from being on her feet all of her life, and her one big regret...

    Sleepy_Princess replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    Hiccups can be a sign of a GI problem, so you might mention it to the pediatrician the next time you visit. My daughter has GERD, and she hiccups constantly because her diaphragm is irritated. She...

  8. VBAC Article Link

    Sleepy_Princess replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Unfortunately, I don't think the fact that VBACs aren't allowed in most hospitals really matters. I think there is a growing group of mothers who feel so bullied and helpless that they wouldn't want...

  9. Anyone out there pregnant and/or was while in school?

    Sleepy_Princess replied to NurseLeeLee's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, congratulations!!! This isn't exactly the same thing, but... I had a baby at the end of April, and I decided to become a nurse about a week into my maternity leave. This is my second...

    Sleepy_Princess posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have any of you taken Microbiology and Pathophysiology in the same semester? I'm taking both in fall, and I'm just trying to get an idea of how hard it's going to be. I've heard that Micro. is very...

    Sleepy_Princess replied to Cherry2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I went through something similar two months ago. I had a "precautionary" induction at 37 weeks due to what was supposedly PIH. (I question this because my BPs were all below 140/90 and I never had...

    I had breast reduction 2 years ago. During the surgery, I had some complications, and my left nipple had to be removed and grafted back on. I was told that I would be unable to breastfeed. I just had...

    Sleepy_Princess replied to elizabells's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, it's great to see so many positive attitudes! I can't wait because I've been teaching 8th grade English for the past 3 years. I LOVE being a teacher, but spending every day with 13 year-olds can...
