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.
If NuvaRingÂ® is not started within five days after a first trimester abortion or miscarriage, begin NuvaRingÂ® at the time of your next menstrual period. Counting the first day of your menstrual period as Day 1, insert NuvaRingÂ® on or before Day 5 of the cycle, even if you have not finished bleeding. During this first cycle, use an extra method of birth control, such as male condoms or spermicide, for the first seven days of ring use.
