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.
In the first cycle of Nuva Ring, you can put the ring on the first day of your period for immediate protection from pregnancy. You can put it in any other day of your cycle as well, but then need to use a back up method (like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex) for seven days. In later cycles using Nuva Ring, you put it in on schedule, a week after you took out the last one, on the same day of the week that you took the last one out.
