  1. A question for moms...

    ladybugsea replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a two year old, and I can understand what you're worried about. I work outside the home 3 days a week and I'll be starting the evening nursing program in September, which is 4-5 nights a week....

    ladybugsea replied to BirthingBabies's topic in Ob/Gyn

    jacq (or anyone else) -- Is it possible to get an intership in L&D before having that rotation? We won't study maternal/newborn until next fall, but I'd love to get an intership in L&D next...

    ladybugsea replied to NurseyBaby'05's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Another great community is ovusoft.com/forums. It's free, unlike fertilityfriends which used to be free (ff charting is still free, though, but ousoft charting is not free). ErikaAnn -- Your cycles...

  9. Anyone In Frontier's ADN-MSN Program?

    ladybugsea replied to ChristineN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hello!!! I have the same question! It would be wonderful if I could start the bridge program soon after passing the NCLEX, and get my year of experience during that time. Their bridge program would...

  10. 4 choices & only need 2 (which ones?)

    ladybugsea replied to Angel 3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved cultural anthropology. Very cool. Either could be useful to a nurse. You should read the descriptions is your course catalog to get a better idea of which you'd rather

  11. Basal Body Temp and Working Nights

    ladybugsea replied to NurseyBaby'05's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There are cheapo OPK strips available online. They're not as good (faint lines, detect at higher levels) as the expensive ones, but they were good enough for me to confirm that my charts were right....

  14. Basal Body Temp and Working Nights

    ladybugsea replied to NurseyBaby'05's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yikes, that's a tough one! I'm really not sure. Have you been charting long? I've been for years so I know exactly what to expect from my cycle and it's easier to interpret/predict. The charting...

  15. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    ladybugsea replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    PASSION FOR BIRTH. During my pregnancy and birth of my daughter two years ago, I realized that my passion is birth and babies. I wished I had been a nurse so I could be an L&D nurse or...

    ladybugsea replied to TFRatchet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ladybugsea replied to kamakasigirl's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Echiro -- Thanks so much for the advice!! I will definitely get the study guide. I've never taped lectures before. For A&P II, we had the powerpoint slides available after the first exam, and...

  18. Going to nursing school soon, should I keep my job?

    ladybugsea replied to rhp123's topic in General Students

    I hope it's doable because I'll be working 24hrs a week and going to school at night. I also have a toddler. It is going to be a killer, since I'm an A student, but I know I can manage. I can't...

  19. Any SAHM's with small kids doing pre-nursing classes?

    ladybugsea replied to AmericanChai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a SAHM (wish I were!), but I managed to do it while also working. I work 3 days a week out of the home, and I took A&P at night and Dev Psych online. I do all of my studying when DD is...

  23. Are breastpumps available for use for nurses?

    ladybugsea posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    A dumb question for you. :) I'm thinking about selling my breastpump because I ended up staying home with DD for a year and didn't need to pump when I came back to work. I hope to eventually have...

  24. Are breastpumps available for use for nurses?

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So are you saying that people shouldn't rent pumps, either? The tubing and diaphragm detach on my pump. I'd just hate to have it sit in my closet only to find that in 5 years it no longer works or...

  25. Are breastpumps available for use for nurses?

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for your responses. I'm actually hoping to be able to stay home for a year when I have another baby. I've found I don't need to pump to keep nursing a toddler. But in case I do need to...
