[@beththurman5752]

I've been a nurse for 15 years but just starting next week as new WHNP, and I know there will be struggles being a novice all over again. So happy to learn of your videos and content. Thank you!

I cannot see the "handout" or printout "below". I would love this resource you mentioned. I have paid for the binder, but not sure bcp were in there....

[@RealWorldNP]

Thanks for this we were unaware the link was broken. We were able to update it. Currently right now OCP are not in the digital binder but will consider it in the future.

When will the lab course be held again? I have been placed on the wait list and am very interested in the class! Thanks!

I started taking junel fe 1 mg-20 few days ago and ended up with insomnia. My bmi is 33.5 Should i stop taking it at all? or switch to one progesterone only pill kind?

[@RealWorldNP]

Hi there! I am really sorry, but for safety and legal reasons I can't advise on your case. We always recommend that you contact your primary care provider.

[@stacyign]

@@RealWorldNP can you recommend a good doctor?

[@ir9701]

Is it true that the combined pill (I'm on zoely) is 100% effective if taken everyday even if not on the same time (for example taking it at 8AM and then the next day and 1PM)?

[@RealWorldNP]

The recommendation is that you take any birth control as close to the same time for day to prevent decrease in efficacy.
