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.
Shorter Breaks: Research has shown that it is safe and more effective to only leave the ring out for three or four days per month. Many women therefore leave their NuvaRing in for 25 days and then take a three day break before putting their new one in, or 24 days with it in and four days out.
