    maggijo replied to lcs4cats's topic in General Nursing

    It took about 3-4 weeks, so you should probably get them soon. It's hard waiting around for them. It drove me nuts. Good

    maggijo replied to KRVRN's topic in Pediatric

  20. treatment for morning sickness

    maggijo replied to LPN@05's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Something that helped a little for me (didn't cure it, but helped ease the nausea) was eating ALL THE TIME, even if I wasn't hungry- small amounts of bland food that wouldn't be hard on my digestive...
