  4. How To Shadow a Nurse,..Please Help

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm not a man, I hope it's ok to offer information here...... I am from the Cincinnati, Ohio area and this is what I did to shadow an RN. We have a program through The Greater Cincinnati Health...

  5. Vet tech calling herself RN

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously we are just going to disagree on this subject. I guess my point is really this: It seems like you all are more concerned about protecting RN because nursing school is tough, being a nurse...

  6. Vet tech calling herself RN

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    And you know, FWIW, my beef is with the whole uproar of it all. I understand being concerned about the general public's awareness, I really do. What bugs me is how some of you are so offended by...

  10. Vet tech calling herself RN

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    Weren't these protection laws created for the HUMAN public? I just don't see the point in caring if an animal caregiver calls herself a nurse or an RN. It's silly IMO (to call yourself an RN or a...

  11. complications with overdue baby

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to LPN_mn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can't offer any advice (not an RN), but I'm curious as to the baby's weight & length. I hope mom is well and baby is thriving now

  12. Vet tech calling herself RN

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I can see how this is upsetting in a HUMAN environment (hospital, clinic, etc.), but at a Vet's office? I think the real problem would be if she claimed to be an RN and actually treated HUMANS,...

  13. ASN question ~ hospital-based or community college

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful posted a topic in General Nursing

    I get the difference between BSN and ASN, what I don't understand is the difference between hospital-based nursing programs and community college programs. I'm in the Cincinnati area and know of two...

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a lady partsl U/S at 6w5d and my uterus appeared empty. My OB suggested that the baby was "hugging" the uterus. At 8w1d there he was clear as a bell and HUGE! He's now nearly two-and-a-half...

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Q. ~ It's a simple fact that breasts produce milk to feed humans. If a woman chooses to utilize that God given ability, why should she be concerned about who sees it? Your kids should know that...

  24. Public Breastfeeding

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    As soon as mothers with bottles need to hide in the corner to feed their babies, I will encourage nursing mothers to do the same (ok, no I wouldn't, but still). After all, bottles are modeled after...
