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.
1 Use another birth control method, such as male condoms with spermicide, until the new NuvaRing has been used for 7 days in a row, following one of the two options below: 2  Option 1. 3  Insert a new ring right away to start your next 21 Day NuvaRing use cycle. Insert 1 NuvaRing in the vagina and keep it in place for 3 weeks (21 days). 2  Remove the NuvaRing for a 1 week break (7 days). 3  During the 1-week break (7 days), you will usually have your menstrual period.
