    labcat01 replied to LuvLotB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If I had to guess I would say it is because of your BP. Now, I AM NOT A NURSE- i'm just a mom but I bet when you go to your appt. Thursday I bet they will be talking induction/c-section and don't...

    labcat01 replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    Getting back to the OP- I also reccomend "Taking Charge of your Fertility" as a great resource. The Catholic Church does not teach the rhythem method as a reliable source of birth control. I would...

    What do you know about Scott and White?

    labcat01 replied to mandana's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well- I wouldn't say that Temple is the middle of nowhere...it's about an hour from Austin and I believe it is the main hospital for the health plan which is the largest HMO in central Texas. Their...

    nursing school at UTHSC in San Antonio

    labcat01 replied to Thurman's topic in Texas Nursing

    No, I meant that the lowest GPR they ACCEPTED into their program was a 2.9. Someone else that posted earlier mentioned that medical schools are interested in the whole person (MCAT, GPR,...

    labcat01 replied to Thurman's topic in Texas Nursing

    No kidding! I tried to take OChem one summer at SAC. That was a mistake! I also have a BS so I guess i've never really looked hard at what the nursing school requirements

    labcat01 replied to cmoleary1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Everything said so far is true! Having a baby is so much harder than you think it is going to be. If you don't need health insurance than you should try to have your baby as a student. I'm planning...

    nursing school at UTHSC in San Antonio

    labcat01 replied to Thurman's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't understand how their GPA cutoff is so high? Not to say anything disparaging about nursing or med school BUT you can get into their medical school with a 2.9 GPR....how is that

    Hello! I'm a "Physician Extender"

    labcat01 replied to PackMule's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think the term "physician extender" is just confusing....if you introduced yourself to the patient that way I imagine their response would be "what the heck is that?" Now, i'm NOT a nurse (just a...

    I third the idea of becoming a doula. You might also want to get involved with your local la leche league to learn more about how to be a breastfeeding consultant. Also, the local WIC programs usually...

    labcat01 replied to cshelly12's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I don't know the fine points of it but you and the school have to make arrangements with a local hospital. Maybe someone else here can shed some more light on

    Nursing school or Medical school

    labcat01 replied to steph86's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't think it is "threatend" so much as a matter of validation. By saying you want to be a physician over a nurse you imply that nursing isn't good enough (that might not be how you actually feel...
