    that was unbelievably quick!

    Cathe Props to your customer service department. I rec'd my DVDs Tuesday and decided I'd better just break down and order the mini step topper, thinking it would be awhile before anyone would attend to it, being swamped w/ pre-orders. To my glee, it was at my door step Thursday morning...

    Something very sad...(long)

    ((((((Kris))))). so sorry for your loss. how fortunate Rena was to have you and your boyfriend in her life. sounds like she led a wonderful life despite her diabetes, and that the care she got from the two of you was what helped her live out her last yrs. so well. One of my dogs developed...

    Well, the new dog has been a disaster.

    Don't beat yourself up over this, Laura. At least now you know that Max is happier alone than adjusting to sharing you and his turf w/ another dog. Not all dogs like companionship. My youngest is a 3 yr. old border collie, and she'd never accept a new dog. she'll be an 'only' one day. Valerie

    Any nurses online?

    My nursely advice would be to call poison control. Supplements can be just as dangerous as anything else if taken in large quantities. (and even a little bit of an adult sized supplement is too much for a small child). Best of luck and please let us know how your daughter is. Valerie :-)

    Won't be checking in after all

    wow, as a nurse, I'm so sorry for your lousy nurse experiences. I've been on the receiving end of bone head nurse moves and know how horrible it can be. You're so vulnerable and hanging by a thread right now, the LAST thing you need is dealing w/ someone like that. I pray every night to...

    For the PitBull Mommies...Or Any Animal Mommies Really

    >I love the BAN STUPID PEOPLE--NOT DOGS!:7 I have to agree. Our neighbors are stupid people who have a pit bull. very sweet w/ their family. unfortunately, they let him run loose and one day he was in my garage and chewed up my timid border collie. They never even called to inquire how my...

    >All over the internet I see pregnant women talking about >their ultrasounds at week 9,10,11, etc but my doc only does >one at 18-20 weeks. What gives? > >So basically, all I get to hear is the heartbeat at week 12 >(hopefully) and nothing again until week 20. Is that how most >doctor's do...

    ultrasound at week 18-20?

    Not pregnant, but an L&D nurse w/ 20 yrs. experience giving you my perspective, Janice. Many early ultrasounds are done if there's a problem: can't detect the heartbeat w/ a doppler,aabnormal AFP screening, bleeding etc. 18-20wk. sono is the gold standard for dating: to confirm your 'due...

    Pretty sure I just wasted 2 yrs of my life in nursing..

    Janice, First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy! :-) I know that you went off your meds when you got pregnant, and I can't help but wonder whether some of your feelings of frustration and hopeless ("I just wasted 2 yrs . . . .") could be a direct result of that. For me, I notice...

    Congratulations! Great first job experience, btw. I think it's smart to start w/ something very challenging: you learn so much. I left my first job 20 yrs. ago. (An infant/toddler med/surg floor at a teaching hospital). Recently, I had the chance to get together w/ 1/2 dozen old friends...

    Nursing Boards

    wow, it's been . . . .gulp . . . 25 yrs. since I sat for my boards! It was the last year they gave it in sections: Med,surg, peds, OB, psych . . . I went out and got really really drunk w/ my friends after it was all done. (hey, I was 22!). I was worried they'd ask a bunch of stuff on...
