I saw this article that is about a new study in Australia over the caesarian rate. The article is not new to anyone who is aware or keeping informed about the whole caesarian "debate," but something...

bethin - oops, my misunderstanding. Thanks for clarifying. Mirai - The "locker room talk" subsides depending on the person but generally speaking it does. Also, some people do and have gone into the...

I'm a nursing student and also a male. As far as the OP, since you gave your age and I've read other of your posts, it seems you are probably around people your age. Unfortunately guys at that age...
I'm in a similar decision position. Thanks for this thread and for the other's encouragement (gaugeiv, zash, etc.). It has helped me. Reading your OP, NurseDaddy, I realized what I would tell you,...
I've personally known some single moms who've gotten through school. My aunt is presently doing pre-reqs (as am I) while having basically 2 full and 2 part time jobs due to her role. I'm friends...
You may have done this, but if you know where you're going to work, then you should try to move into that general area. Depending on where you work and live, traffic can be monstrous. Of course, you...
Here's the story: http://www.uterus1.com/news/Uterusmainstory.cfm/70 I didn't think this was possible and apparently neither did the doctors. It just goes to show that (not to quote old movies) "Life...
I'm sure because of this recent news, The Learning Channel is airing a program it did on the subject at least several months ago called "Dying to Give Birth". If you'd like to see it, you can to to...

Seemed strange to me at first, but it makes sense that it would slow down the damaging effects. I'm curious though how they figured out 6 degrees, but I'm sure it's biological and lab developed. Glad...
That was funny, Timothy. You should post that in the Humor forum. I hope you see it that way now. Thanks for sharing. Back to the topic, I'd say bring some food and pair them up. However, only for...

I guess I should share my own, now that I think of it: A loaded gun does not make a good hammer Running on plastic-draped carpet while painting does not allow you good traction and can lead to getting...

This is the best thread I've seen here yet. This stuff should be in a book. I'm a nursing student also and this has been FAR more educational. This thread should be a pre-requisite for deciding to be...
Might I suggest the "Best Nursing Bra Ever"? Really though, I've heard that their bras are very good. Although most of what I've heard and read is about the "Last Resort Bra" which may be what you...
My state BON puts out a monthly publication (you should check if yours does) that I read last week. It is made up of ads and the people that have been punished for various reasons. However, the vast...
