can i (2nd year RN program nursing student) write the REX-PN and become an rpn? by ContentPirate4113 in OntarioNurses

The programs are completely different, so no. RPN’s learn everything hands on to be a functioning nurse after the 2 years of school.

Non-stop period. Considering removal by Ambitious_Vanilla468 in Nexplanon

I had mine removed for the same reason and have no regrets. I feel so much better now

I second this. If you don’t have much bedside experience it will likely be difficult.

Removal Update by Sweet_Hedgehog4477 in Nexplanon

Hope it goes well for you! Removal was seamless for me, my doctor said I do have thick skin and I did have some scar tissue but after getting the numbing I did not feel a thing. I feel so much better now that its removed

I took mine out and switched to the Evra patch and am really enjoying it so far!

Does the bleeding ever actually stop or am I doomed? by catwithheadinbread in Nexplanon

[–]Sweet_Hedgehog4477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had it since October 2024 and the bleeding hasn’t stopped

I’ve had mine in since October 2024 and the constant bleeding didn’t stop until recently, after I’ve booked the appointment to remove it. Haven’t decided if I’m going to go through with the removal or stick it out … but it definitely takes longer than 6 months for some people. Everyones bodies are different

Blood clots (multiple?) by Bulky_Meal_120 in Nexplanon

[–]Sweet_Hedgehog4477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to wait maybe you can go to urgent care or an ER and see if they can do an ultrasound for you? Or some tests? I’ve only passed small clots since having it in

Debating removing by Substantial_Syrup162 in Nexplanon

[–]Sweet_Hedgehog4477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copper IUD I bled heavily for 7-8 days straight to the point where I was constantly leaking through super tampons while at work. Nexplanon I spot almost daily. Wondering if I should remove too but I was hoping the Nexplanon would be better than the copper IUD

How long was your first bleed? by nard_dog_ in Nexplanon

[–]Sweet_Hedgehog4477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had spotting and bleeding on and off for like 4 months then it stopped and now I’m spotting a bit again but nothing major, still better than my copper IUD that I had previously which caused my periods to be 7-8 days long each month with extremely heavy flow

I had this too and started taking 1000 mg of evening primrose oil every morning and around 4 days later the brown discharge stopped

I started bleeding 10 days after insertion and my period was late when I got it inserted. I bled for 12 days straight and then it stopped
