  1. What field of nursing would you NEVER consider working?

    sddlnscp replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    If you would have asked me 5 years ago, I would have said probably the same thing! However, my babysitter's husband is paralyzed (sp? - sorry) from a spinal cord injury and I just love him to pieces!...

  2. How Long Did You Have To Wait To Get Into NS?

    sddlnscp replied to Poohsdw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand completely! I live 50 miles from the nearest ns and the population of my town is only a little over 60 people (not hundred or thousand, just 60). The next nearest school is an hour and...

  3. Watch Your Language - Breast Isn't Best!

    sddlnscp replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree about the sensitivity of this issue whole-heartedly! When I had my first child, I wanted desperately to breastfeed my baby, but alas - it was not meant to be. We ended up spending an extra 3...

  4. How Long Did You Have To Wait To Get Into NS?

    sddlnscp replied to Poohsdw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't feel bummed - many people are waiting at least a year to get in, some even longer - I've heard a few waiting up to 3 years to get in! This is after all pre-reqs which are usually taking over a...

  5. Curious as to how many NICU nurses have previous personal experience in the NICU

    sddlnscp replied to fmrnicumom's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    That's so sad. My wonderful experiences with both my Doctor and my nurses when I had my children are what initially sparked my interest in NICU. I had the most wonderful, caring, compassionate...

  6. advice on what courses to take while waiting to be accepted in the ADN

    sddlnscp replied to khattosan's topic in Nursing Career

    I will be in the same boat you are in about a year from now, but I know that eventually I will pursue a BSN, therefore in my "down" time, I am going to take classes such as Chemistry, extra Psychs,...

  7. Roll Call Fall '05, Pre-nursing for RN program

    sddlnscp replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    sddlnscp replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome - this will be great then! Yeah - I'm with you. I'm so anxious to get in, I know I will be devastated when they put me on the waiting list - which I know will happen, it is inevitable, but I...

  9. Starting pre-nursing in August!!

    sddlnscp replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds good. I've never done an online class with a lab before, so this will be a new experience for me, but I'm looking forward to it! I love science (always have), so I'm excited about these...

  12. Starting pre-nursing in August!!

    sddlnscp replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeay Karen - we can muddle through together then. I considered nutrition, but I have to work full-time and don't want to over-do it, so I am setteling with just the two courses - they will be 7...

  13. Episiotomy

    sddlnscp replied to rastanursern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks - I'll take encouragement any

  14. Pre Nursing student starting in september and four months pregnant - worried!

    sddlnscp replied to loo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oops - sorry, missed the UK part - the advice I gave was regarding pre-nursing in the US (specifically Colorado). Best of luck to you

    sddlnscp replied to sddlnscp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    P.S. Marie LPN - thank you so much for the site - I e-mailed the link to my friend, but not before I checked it out - it is wonderful! Thank you, thank you, thank

  16. Uterine Balloon Therapy?

    sddlnscp posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi everybody. My best friend was recently (today, actually) told by her doctor that she will probably have to have a hysterectomy (sorry - bad spelling, I know - please forgive that) but they might...

  17. Uterine Balloon Therapy?

    sddlnscp replied to sddlnscp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow - thanks a lot you guys! My friend is in her mid-30's and does not want any more children. I think she was actually pretty excited about the procedure, I was just a little concerned because I...

  18. Episiotomy

    sddlnscp replied to rastanursern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you - this makes me feel much better. I guess I need to always remember that there are a lot of good doctors out there - mine, for example - and . . . he is a much older doctor, so that has to...

  19. Pre Requisites

    sddlnscp replied to shansm05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey Jessica, which classes did you take online? One of my friends is in the RN program, but she took all her classes on campus, so she doesn't have a lot of info. to give me about online classes? I...

  20. Episiotomy

    sddlnscp replied to rastanursern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is really depressing to me - especially since I had the good fortune of having such a wonderful doctor! I cannot imagine anybody who got into patient care to truly help and care for people doing...

  21. Pre Nursing student starting in september and four months pregnant - worried!

    sddlnscp replied to loo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's probably a good point - I suppose it just depends on how the class is set up, but I suppose the better safe than sorry philosophy is a good one. If you have Englishes, Maths, Psychs &...

  22. Episiotomy

    sddlnscp replied to rastanursern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hmm - I am not even a nurse yet, but I did not have an episiotomy with either one of my chidren. I had a wonderful doctor though who fully believed in perenium massage - with my first child, I had...

  23. Pre Nursing student starting in september and four months pregnant - worried!

    sddlnscp replied to loo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know how your pre-nursing courses are set up through your university, but at the community college that I go through, it's at least a year of prerequisites prior to starting the actual nursing...
