  1. Finding out gender at 5 weeks!

    sddlnscp replied to sddlnscp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That was what I thought when I heard it too - glad it's not just me. :) The very thought sends shivers down my spine - but, like I said before, I am not everybody, therefore I guess I can't fully...

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

    sddlnscp replied to fmrnicumom's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I hear a lot of that "I want to work in a nursery or on postpartum or whatever unit at X hospital because I want to play with babies all day." I am sooooo glad I am not going into this with that...

  3. Finding out gender at 5 weeks!

    sddlnscp replied to sddlnscp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hmm, how interesting. I am set up to take A&P I this fall, so I have no idea about the development of the fetus yet (well, at least in that aspect - I know the basic details from having babies...

  4. Finding out gender at 5 weeks!

    sddlnscp replied to sddlnscp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's good to know - thanks for the

  5. I need personal advice

    sddlnscp replied to vlada'smom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry - I am at work and only had time to skim this briefly, so forgive me if I repeat anything. First - I have taken many Domestic Violence courses & what you describe is considered abuse....

  6. Pell grant for child care

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

    I'm not sure about the pell grant, but I work for Social Services in Colorado and we do offer child-care assistance for student parents and/or working parents. This assistance is offered based on...

  7. Pre Requisites

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

    I have taken 24 credits online and have had both wonderful instructors and only moderately-ok instructors. (Unfortuantely I was pursuing a different major & so many of them will be for nothing -...

  8. So lost and confused here

    sddlnscp replied to googleypoo2004's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It just depends on the hospital as to how it is set up. There is a hospital in the town that I currently work in that will pay your tuition as long as you promise to give them a semester worked for...

  9. A few more questions! (ADN vs BSN and... Pre-Req's)

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

    GirlCalledJack, I think that's a pretty universal set-up for most CO colleges from the research I've done (that's quite a lot!), so I think you're good. :) What I understand is that with the ADN,...

  10. Attempting to get in the program is frustrating me

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

    I'm so glad to see that you want to teach - yeay - thank you! It's good to know that people are still interested in teaching! I noticed that there are currently three nurse's positions open at the...

  11. Attempting to get in the program is frustrating me

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

    Well, I guess I will be the old geezer - I will probably be around (or really close to) 30 when I graduate. Oh well - better late than never,

  12. Attempting to get in the program is frustrating me

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

    I do believe we are all with you. I am 26 and in the same boat. I have taken a year's worth of courses towards human services work, but unfortunately, none of them were sciences. I have the basic...

  13. is this child abuse?

    sddlnscp replied to bronxRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was just going to add to the advice column regarding filing a complaint, but it looks like you did. Kudos to you for doing such. :) I work with a child protection worker and everything you stated...

  14. License plate ideas

    sddlnscp replied to virginiarn's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'm married to your hubby's brother.

  15. Just started DCN any advice?

    sddlnscp replied to melissavd1977's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank you all for your helpful information - I will keep this in mind.

  16. Just started DCN any advice?

    sddlnscp replied to melissavd1977's topic in Online Distance Learning

    When you go to St. Louis, how long do you usually have to be there? Do you have to go fairly often? I am really interested, but about 14 hrs. away. Not that the drive is so much of an issue, but I...

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

    sddlnscp replied to fmrnicumom's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Wow - thanks again everybody! The post that referenced a feeling like "being hit with an anvil" (thanks Gompers!) gave me chills because that is EXACTLY how I felt once I learned about the NICU. I...

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

    sddlnscp replied to fmrnicumom's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you so much - I feel so much better now. This question had been nagging at the back of my mind, but I felt awkward about asking it - this thread seemed to be an ok place to do so though. Now I...

  19. Starting school in Fall-Scared of Chem/Math!

    sddlnscp replied to Hope2Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel so much for you - mostly because I know just what you are feeling! I actually am switching majors (going from a Bachelor's of Science in Human Services to a pre-nursing student) and had just...

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

    sddlnscp replied to fmrnicumom's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I, like you am a pre-nursing student and I also feel an overwhelming draw to the NICU. I have two children who were both happy & healthy babies and have never had any personal experience in the...

  21. NNP Please Read!

    sddlnscp replied to salvati08's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you - I am going to try to do just that (get directly into NICU) as I go along. I will go look through old posts and see what different types of information I can find. Thanks so much for all...

  22. A quiz to help you choose your nursing specialty...

    sddlnscp replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Students

    Nah, I wouldn't take it to heart - these tests really ask a limited amount of information in order to make a broad assumption. I think that if you really have your "heart" :) set on cardiac, then go...

  23. A quiz to help you choose your nursing specialty...

    sddlnscp replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Students

    This was so awesome, I am a pre-nursing student and I was really excited to take this! My top 3 were Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine (that is so great, that is EXACTLY what I want to go into nursing...

  24. NNP Please Read!

    sddlnscp replied to salvati08's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Wow, thank you so much - see, that's what I get for not knowing what I am talking about (yet, anyway . . . now I am really learning!). Thank you for the help and the support, I will probably have...

  25. Uh-oh. Tempted to change my major...

    sddlnscp replied to December716's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I have a kind-of similar situation. I just completed a year of course-work headed towards a Bachelor's of Science in Human Services/Management, but I knew that my heart really wasn't into it....
