3. The hardest shift of my nursing life (young as it is)

   robmom1 replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   When I logged on tonight I read so many negative threads about becoming a nurse. I was so discouraged until I got to this one. Thank you for sharing this experience and for being a hero.

4. Why a C-Section?

   robmom1 replied to edj02's topic in Ob/Gyn

   NO NO NO it doesn't! I had an emergency c-section (horrible, but good recovery) with child number 1 and I love her as much as any parent ever has, even as much as number 2, born by elective c-section.

8. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

   robmom1 replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't even have an opinion on this one......but I can't wait for you to get your acceptance letter and get started so you can tell us other DCCCD hopefuls the real scoop! I should probably find something more productive to do. Have a good night!
