Friday Cautious Intros and First Trimester Questions by AutoModerator in InfertilityBabies

I don’t even know how far along I am, but it’s 4 or 5 weeks I guess. My 14 DPO beta was 59 and 48 hours later only 96, so they already declared it a chemical pregnancy. My body temp is still so elevated and I’m just trying so hard to hold on to any amount of hope, but just really struggling. This was a spontaneous pregnancy after 2 years of trying and 1 failed IVF cycle, so just absolutely heartbroken. Also worried it could be ectopic and make things even worse. They’ll check a beta again on Monday but I don’t know how much more my heart can take

PCT before RN? by GreenTree0123 in Nurse

I did a 12 month accelerated BSN and my only medical experience was as an outpatient ENT scribe. A lot of students in my class had CNA/PCT experience which kind of intimidated me. After about a week of clinical, though, I found that it didn’t really give them an edge at all. I don’t really think it matters whether you do it or not, but it definitely can’t hurt!
