  1. Women's Reactions to L&D Nurses Outside the Hospital

    amber1142 replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Alison, I'm starting as an L&D nurse, and I've noticed that it is starting to happen. I know from my own experiences of having children that it is one of the most profound things that I've...

  2. Questions about moms in labor

    amber1142 replied to lee1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would think it depends on protocol (either hospital or physician/midwife), whether the woman has had children before, and probably some other factors. I don't know that a nurse should make that...

  3. When is the right time to push?

    amber1142 replied to NursePamela's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Having had four babies naturally with a midwife, that strikes me as a very funny question. You body starts to pusssssssssssshhhhhhh when it's ready. I think the problem with pushing before 10 is...

  4. Level of questions of the NCLEX-RN

    amber1142 replied to Woman_in_love's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    "Hard" isn't the right word to describe upper level NCLEX questions. They are judgement questions where more than one answer may be right, and one must choose the best. "Hard" to me means that there...

  5. Question ABout Clinicals

    amber1142 replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Nursing

    Feeding, bathing, changing linens, changing diapers and cleaning up

  6. How Many is Too Many

    amber1142 replied to Fiona59's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's a joke- pod people are aliens who are disguised like the rest of us. I admire the family for how they (seem) to manage their lives, and I know I could never manage that and I only have four....

  7. How Many is Too Many

    amber1142 replied to Fiona59's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's a good point. "The best" isn't necessarily something that can be

  8. Tell me what you like and dislike about nurse midwives

    amber1142 replied to midwife2b's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I know this isn't a cesarean section thread, but what disturbs me is the number of women who actually choose/prefer to have a cesarean section for convenience or simply because they're scared. I...

  9. Shut off at 75

    amber1142 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi all, I took NCLEX-RN this morning. I have to say that people's responses here are remarkably consistent. Like almost everyone else I have no clue how I did. There were almost always two answers...

  10. Question about becoming an RN

    amber1142 replied to janiebane's topic in General Nursing

    The test is only the last phase in the process of becoming an R.N. Becoming a nurse is more than an academic pursuit, and though it is possible that in the future there may be preceptor programs...

  11. Question about becoming an RN

    amber1142 replied to janiebane's topic in General Nursing

    You need to go to a real-time school to become an R.N. There is no way around skills lab and clinical time that I ever heard of. Some community colleges and universities have accelerated programs...

  12. How Many is Too Many

    amber1142 replied to Fiona59's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I saw a program about the family with 14 kids and one on the way. They are very religious, and evidently very organized. She even home schools. They are debt free; the kids all play two musical...

  13. NCLEX scoring

    amber1142 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Can someone tell me how the NCLEX is actually scored? I know about how CAT works, but when we get our results in the weeks after testing, how are they presented? Is it a percentage correct or is it...

  14. NCLEX scoring

    amber1142 replied to amber1142's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wonder how that is possible when it is theoretically possible that someone could get more than 50% correct before reaching 75 questions. Will it keep feeding more questions (greater than 75) just...

  15. NCLEX scoring

    amber1142 replied to amber1142's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    ok, so it doesn't tell you how you actually did beyond pass/fail. i think some of those questions will haunt me for the rest of my

    and paid Pearson-Vue for quick results because my BON license verification site is down. I passed. But I *still* want to see my name with the big ol' R.N. after

    amber1142 replied to amber1142's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No problem, I was being kind of goofy. And thank you! I'm very tickled for all of us who have passed recently, and I'm in a really good mood. BTW, I'm making a Hummingbird cake (google for recipe),...

  20. Baby Formula to irrigate bladder????

    amber1142 replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This situation does bring up a really interesting dilemma. What should a nurse do when the doctor orders a treatment she has never heard of and which sounds very odd? We are even tested in NCLEX on...

  22. Nursing without license

    amber1142 replied to jansop's topic in General Nursing

    You can work as a student nurse under the supervision of a registered nurse, and you can work as a graduate nurse (if you are one) under the supervision of a registered nurse, but you cannot...

    amber1142 replied to nurseamanda's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
