    Anyone take the HESI?

    MMARN replied to geekgolightly's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    That's actually what a lot of people say. Many feel that the HESI was harder than the actual NCLEX. So, I really think that if you do well on the HESI, you're almost good to go on

    Anyone take the HESI?

    MMARN replied to geekgolightly's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    During this semester (I had to take my third semester during the summer) I had three HESIs. One for OB, one for Psych, and the one I just took two days ago for Pedi. My scores were 865, 685 (ouch!)...

    MMARN replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is a "dry birth"?

    MMARN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only "dry birth" I've heard of has been oligohydroamnios (sp?). Even then, there is still fluid that accompanies the baby. Other than that, I have no idea what a "dry birth"

    MMARN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree. I saw my first circ last week (I'm a nursing student) and the baby was strapped down and he was given a pacifier dipped in grape water to soothe him a bit. The doc who performed it, used...

    Are "donuts" (invalid cushions) safe ?

    MMARN replied to Mooncricket55's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In the hospital where I do my clinicals, they use the donuts for moms who have had episiotomies. There are some who use it, and most who don't. I don't think it's detrimental to their well-being, but...

    Ob-GYN nurses- Do you think Dad/the father should or should not be in delivery room?

    MMARN replied to MK6babies's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, obviously, it's the woman's choice whether to have the man there or not. She has the right to privacy afterall. I haven't had a case like that yet, but I wouldn't be surprised nor would I be...

    BSL low - do you still give insulin?

    MMARN replied to Bluecap's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I'm not quite sure what's being asked. If it has to do with hypoglycemia, and the problem is providing a diabetic patient with very low sugar insulin, then I think it should be held, and apple juice...
