RN or Nurse Practitioner? If youâre considering a nursing career, you may be wondering what the difference is between a registered nurse (RN) and a nurse practitioner (NP). Although they have many similarities in that they both provide care to patients, there are differences in job descriptions and nursing education requirements.
Nuva ring effective in 7 days? How does this work? I just started Nuva ring, actually it's my first birth control, and my doctor said that it only takes 7 days to become effective. I've always heard it takes a FULL Cycle...It's making me think about how many hormones are actually in the ring... does anyone know why it only takes 7 days opposed to a full cyle? thanks.
Alternatively, if the NuvaRing is outside the vagina for more than three hours during the third week, you can start using a new ring right away. This may cause breakthrough spotting or bleeding. Use a backup method of contraception until you have used the new ring continuously for seven days. Or, if you used NuvaRing continuously for at least the previous seven days prior to explusion, you can discard the ring and wait up to seven days from the time the ring was removed or expelled to insert a new ring.
