   Curls105 replied to be26373's topic in New York

   I spoke to someone at the school and they said it was in Lecture Hall 6. I assume that's in the main school building? I'm really surprised we haven't gotten any additional info on this. Can't wait to meet everyone tomorrow! Kristen

   Curls105 replied to be26373's topic in New York

   Hi jujufireal! I am starting this summer as well and am starting to feel pretty nervous and excited. I have no idea what this test is going to be like. It's called a "placement test" so maybe they are just trying to get a basic idea as to where we ...

   Hunter has a very competitive Nursing school and it has a great reputation. I would go there if you have the chance. As Chuck said, the community college programs are extremely competitive as well. Good luck!

   Oops, my bad, I thought they were.

7. Options for midwifery - NOT CNM?

   Curls105 replied to waterfall99's topic in CNM

   You can deliver in birthing centers, hospitals or home births if you are a CNM. Since you are already an RN becoming a CNM seems like the most logical route for you. There are Certified Professional Midwives who are not nurses but there are more le...

   Curls105 replied to jandramauri's topic in New York

   I took my pre-req's for the second degree at LaGuardia in Queens which is easily accessible by the 7 train (about 15 minutes from midtown). Some of the classes were great some not so great but I feel like you are going to get that anywhere. Good lu...

11. Plz Tell Me Which Hospital Has A Good Labor Delivery Unit.

    Curls105 replied to gerryNYC's topic in New York

    I would recommend St. Lukes Roosevelt's birthing center in NYC. It has a much more "homey" cozy, relaxing vibe but it's located withing a hospital just in case you have a problem. You can also choose between a Midwife or a Doctor which is a nice ch...

13. Bad weight gain durring pregnancy

    Curls105 replied to Trs024's topic in General Students

    Don't quote me on this but I think if you have gestational diabetes, which may be caused by too much extra weight, your baby has a higher chance of developing diabetes and/or having problems with obesity herself.

14. Differences in CNM schools?

    Curls105 replied to rigbyk's topic in CNM

    Anyone know anything about SUNY Downstate's Midwifery program? It's in Brooklyn, NY.

15. NYU or Stony Brook's Accelerated Program?

    Curls105 replied to Brooklyn84's topic in New York

    Go to Stonybrook. Everyone I have spoken to says that the most important this is to become an RN and it doesn't really matter where to you go to get it. The cost difference between the two schools is huge, there is no reason why you should have to p...
