  5. calendula cream or ointment for cracked nipples

    RN007 replied to GingerSue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just had another thought: Some people are allergic to lanolin, so calendula sounds like a good alternative. See if this doesn't sound yummy to you. Makes me want to try it for lip balm:...

  6. calendula cream or ointment for cracked nipples

    RN007 replied to GingerSue's topic in Ob/Gyn

  10. Problem Already for New Grad!

    RN007 replied to hodapp8's topic in General Nursing

  14. Why do so many of you hate working med/surg?

    RN007 replied to jollyjenny's topic in General Nursing

    I love med-surg. To me, that's the care I pictured giving when I started nursing school. I work as an SNA on an oncology floor and love it because it's intense med-surg at its best. However, I do not...

    RN007 replied to Agent99's topic in General Nursing

    Not too long ago, I asked the question about per diem on another thread. I think I used "prn" and maybe you could search for it. I am an older student about to graduate this May and have thought about...

    RN007 replied to sweetnurse2006's topic in General Nursing

    RN007 replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Emergency

    Oh, my goodness. I don't know what to say. I guess my first thought is the 'mother' obviously didn't get the love she needed to develop into a compassionate human being. She's young. Maybe there's...
