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.
Use a backup method of contraception until you use the new ring continuously for seven days. You can use a tampon while using the NuvaRing. NuvaRing, however, can interfere with the placement of a diaphragm. Don't use a diaphragm as a backup method of birth control while using NuvaRing.
