  1. What do patients say that irks you?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think most European countries treat L&D more like what it is, a natural process, not an illness. Mom's go home earlier because, if they check out fine, they don't see any reason to stay behind....

  2. Whats your miracle story?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is such a wonderful story... Thank you for sharing it. I'm sure there are many women out there that will benefit from hearing this. I know of a couple of women who have had the cerclage...

  3. How long did it take to get accepted into NS?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Sugarbelle's topic in General Nursing

    My school won't even consider you for admittance if you are taking anything pre req... even if the class is complete before the program starts, if you are enrolled when the app is due (January for...

  4. which PDA should I buy??

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to lccougar02's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have an HP Ipaq and paid probably way too much for it but it sure is nice... I bought an extra memory card so I don't run out of space, even though it has quite a large memory itself. It can be...

  5. cna? gag reflex help?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to chicagrl72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it the smell, or just the thought of it? If it's the smell then Vicks vapo rub under the nose would probably help and I bet a nice strong Altiod couldn't hurt either! Try not tp psych yourself...

  6. How much studying in a day???

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Nathalie's topic in General Students

    A more true statement has never been made. In pre-req's I would find that some people could study for an hour or two for, say a Physio exam, while others could spend the entire weekend studying and...

  7. Elective Cesareans/On Demand

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    AND P.S. Why on earth, barring some medical emergency or physical problem, which I completely sympathize with by the way, would someone want to have surgery when you can push that baby out...

  8. Elective Cesareans/On Demand

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your last sentence alone makes me want to just KISS YOU!!! Lord bless you for saying what I would

  9. Paying for Accelerated BSN?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Hannahhmc's topic in General Students

    \The BSN program I plan to attend requires 120 units to graduate... with a max of 70 transferred from your CC (or ADN program). Boy after 1+ year of nursing pre req's PLUS 2 years of an ADN program...

  10. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Students

    I AM YOU!!!! In 10 years.. I'm 31 now and married 12 years. Hubbie has worked so that I can stay home with our three kids (now 9, 7 and 5) and since I quit school the plan has kind of always been to...

  11. Paying for Accelerated BSN?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Hannahhmc's topic in General Students

    It makes sense now.... the reason for the inherent difficulty of the program is due to the fact that you are getting an exceedingly large amount information in a very short time frame. It takes...

  12. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Students

    IF, as I hear, getting A's is not impossible then why on earth would the instructors tell you they are NOT GOING TO GIVE ANY! Seriously, are they trying to humble you? I think that's is what makes my...

  13. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Students

    I have to say, at age 18, while at a major university I barely passed, I mean BARELY, and I had a very good GPA going in. I had no kids, no job and only a boyfriend and could barely make it. NOW with...

  14. Paying for Accelerated BSN?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Hannahhmc's topic in General Students

    Thanks.. that's what I was thinking it was. So if you are doing the accelerated BSN you have no nursing degree at all then or you have an

  15. Paying for Accelerated BSN?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Hannahhmc's topic in General Students

    Forgive me for my ignorance, I thought I knew everything when it came to the ins and outs of education, but what is the "accelerated BSN"? When I'm done with my ADN I plan to do the BSN option...

  16. A&P II: The Summer '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to fry.girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's what I thought too.. the only reason I can figure that they do it this way is so that you can move from CC to CC without losing information along the way (since Anatomy is Anatomy wherever you...

  17. night shift woes

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to BandEmom's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Solution for the 8' window.... My friend who works the nocs, and has for years, put up black garbage bags (leaf and lawn type on the window) then put up a curtain over it to hide the black plastic....

  18. A&P II: The Summer '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to fry.girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Question for the A&P I and II people... What is the breakdown there? In my school we do Anatomy first and then Physiology. Meaning we went ALL the way through the book learning all the anatomy...

  19. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Students

    This has been an interesting thread and I think we've managed it without bashing too! I have a girlfriend who graduated from the nursing program at Purdue (which I think at that time was a top 10...

  20. Future CNMs

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to ayndim's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Congrats on passing your exam!!! :balloons: How long did it take you to finish your CNM education? Do you already know where you are going to practice? I am sooooo excited for you!! Good luck!!...

  21. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Students

    YOU GO!!!! I'd be darn proud of that

  22. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Students

    This is interesting.. I think there is room for all nurses, A's to C's, but when I took Chemistry last summer I had a few recent ADN grad's in my class (who were taking the Chem for the BSN) who just...

  23. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

    ftr_bb_catchr replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Students

    OK.. SO with this in mind. For those of us who are just starting, what can we do to sharpen the "critical thinking" skills? Should we be doing NCLEX practice questions now? Or is it truly hopeless....

  24. How long did you wait to test?

    ftr_bb_catchr posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sure this question has been posted but I can't find it... How long did you wait after graduation to test? ASAP or did you take some time
