   figureskating replied to figureskating's topic in General Nursing

   I applied this year to the online program and I am waiting to hear back. I took the nurse entrance exam last week and got a 76 on that which is passing. You only have to have 60 percent to pass the...

2. Bankruptcy and Jobs

   figureskating replied to ilovemicrobiology's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   I'm currently thinking about bankruptcy and accidently found this thread. I know it's old but I just wanted to say, why is everyone so harsh and rude when it comes to that? All of you people talking...

3. Sexism in nursing

   figureskating replied to RNGuy12's topic in Men in Nursing

   If you have a medical problem I understand that , but I still don't see the problem with asking the person you know can lift better first. My male tech's always got me if there was something that...

4. Sexism in nursing

   figureskating replied to RNGuy12's topic in Men in Nursing

   I'm a short small boned nurse and it is hard for us women to move around patients especially if the patients are bigger men. We're not made the same physically as men. I really don't think you should...

5. Augmenting Labor (particularly before 39 weeks)

   figureskating replied to wilma30RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I don't understand how some of these people deal with being sent home like that. I just had my fourth baby a few months ago and I was in labor. My labor started with a bang late at night and two hours...

7. LPN Programs in AR?

   figureskating replied to MissMiniPink's topic in General Nursing

   I went to Baptist Health Schools of Nursing for my LPN training. They're a good school and make sure you know your stuff. It's a very hard school though. You have to have at least 77% to get a C. My...

8. Can LPNs give meds/IVs in Arkansas?

   figureskating replied to 1Luv_xo's topic in General Nursing

   I worked for Baptist Health Little Rock and North Little Rock three years ago and that is how we got our LPN II. After 6 months we had to take an IV push medication class where we were educated on...

9. Are LPN's not treated as well as they should be?: Law student who wants to LPN

   figureskating replied to bnursebutJD_ugh's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   I've been an LPN for a while but I'll be honest with you. We don't have as many job options as RNs do. It would save you time and trouble just to go ahead and go for your RN instead of having to go...

10. LPNs are nurses too.

    figureskating replied to vbarger28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sadly I think the medical community in some ways encourages the disrespect. I practice in Arkansas and LPNs have been kicked out of a lot of job options. UAMS, Baptist, And St. Vincent no longer hire...

11. About Pitocin

    figureskating replied to zje123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From my research Pitocin is not ideal for VBACS anyway. I'm wondering about these doctors you're getting in trouble with who are so Pitocin happy for a VBAC. That's scary. I refused Pitocin for my...

12. About Pitocin

    figureskating replied to zje123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I had my babies I was briefly told I was getting Pitocin but I wasn't educated on it. I just went with what the doctor or nurse said. With my last I was more educated and wrote out a birth plan...

15. So 39 weeks is the full term cut off now?

    figureskating replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think for the most part in most healthy pregnancies your body does usually know when it's time. Then there are the exceptions that do require some intervention. There's a
