Cavities In Kids?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Associates
When I told my 8 year old daughter to brush her teeth tonight she started crying and said that her teeth hurt. I looked in her mouth and was shocked to find what appears to be large cavities in three of her teeth. I don’t allow her to eat sweets or drink soda, so I don’t know how she got the cavities.
I explained to her that she would have to go to the dentist and get fillings, but she’s terrified about going. I have a cavity in my own tooth that I’m aware of and I was thinking about letting her watch me have it filled……but I’m not sure whether seeing the needles and drills would scare her more. Any ideas?
Also, I’m slightly concerned over the worries of amalgam fillings, but we can’t afford to go private unless it’s absolutely necessary – is there really a risk associated with amalgam?
Thanks in advance for your help. (I’m in the UK by the way, and I don’t think we have specialist paediatric dentists over here)
Can Ross Pediatric Disposable Bottles And Nipples Be Reused?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Hospitals
The packaging recommends they be disposed of after one use. However, I’d like to wash them and get a few (3-5) more uses out of them. Is this safe as long as I get them good and real clean?
*I also known that I should NOT boil the nipples and bottles, per multiple nurses at the hospital. They all adamantly told me never boil the nipples.

Do Nurses With Aa Degrees Have A Hard Time Finding A Job?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Associates
I’m taking pre-requisites to enter the Nursing program at my community college which offers an associates degree. I want to find a job after this, like in pediactrics, and then continue working on my bachelor’s degree.
Does that degree do anything or have a title when you get it? Are you able to get a job in a hospital and finish school to get your bachelors?? I guess I am wondering if there are different types of nurses and different schooling to complete them. I was hoping I can get a job in a hospital as something with my AA in nursing, and continue my education so I can get my bachlors. Does anyone know how this all works? Is getting your bachlor degree in nursing the same as nursing school?? What kinda of jobs can I get with an AA in nursing or is there a title for that position?? How much would I start out as with an AA in nursing and eventually get paid when I become a nurse. I am interested in being a pediatric nurse as I love working with children.
What Do They Do During A Pediatric Sleep Study?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Hospitals
My 3 year old son is doing one in a couple of days because I think he has sleep apnea. They want us there at 2:30 in the afternoon. What do they do between then and bedtime, just lay in the hospital bed? I am trying to determine how necessary this really is, as I reallly dont want him to have to undergo any surgeries later (they didnt work for his father). What was your experience? Thanks!
Best Sonography School?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Associates
I’ve done my share of search. It seems the more I look into it the more confused I get. I want to become a Sonographer. I’ve heard in order to become one I will have to go to a Radiology school first then pursue Sonography. I live in Northern San Diego County, and would like to know if there are any schools out here anyone recommends. I’m not quite sure what I want to go for in terms of being a sonographer, I know there are different fields….I’m leaning more towards pediatric, or maternity….I wouldn’t mind being an X-Ray tech as well…I do want an Associates, not a certificate! I’ve already graduated High School. I’ve been putting off my education for a while, I got married and had a child. So it seems like the perfect time to get back on the saddle 
. I want to be able to go to a school that is hands on, and the is Accredited. My husband is in the Service so I need a school that has Recognition, in order for us not to have a problem with me finding a job if we had to move. Thank you in advance, and please I would prefer only people in the field answer my question. I’ve done research myself, at this point I’d rather get advice from someone in the field. Thanks
