1. Your personal delivery experience- what happened

   2ndGoRound replied to DEB52's topic in Ob/Gyn

   This is a wonderful thread as I thoroughly enjoy reading all these stories. I have to apologize too since I am a pre-nursing student and am not as familiar with all the medical terminology. I have one baby girl, now 14 months old. I was only 34 weeks...

2. OLOL Nursing & Radiologic Technology

   2ndGoRound replied to 2ndGoRound's topic in Louisiana

   hs2005, thanks so much! I agree with you completely that the volunteering will give me a whole new perspective on things. I am going to volunteer at OLOL and so far it seems to be just what I need. The lady in charge seems to be very accomodating ...

3. OLOL Nursing & Radiologic Technology

   2ndGoRound replied to 2ndGoRound's topic in Louisiana

   Crescentcitygrrl, my problem is not that I don't want to be a nurse, my problem, I suppose, is lack of knowledge and hands on experience. Based on what I know about the two career paths and what I have observed, I can see myself in both positions. ...

4. OLOL Nursing & Radiologic Technology

   2ndGoRound replied to 2ndGoRound's topic in Louisiana

   Thanks Dream Nurse, that's kind of what I was thinking too...that it would be frowned upon. I start volunteering in a couple of weeks and I am hoping that it will help me to make a final decision (I have until March). Thanks for the input, I apprec...

5. OLOL Nursing & Radiologic Technology

   2ndGoRound posted a topic in Louisiana

   I am going to finish up prereqs at OLOL in the spring and I have been planning to apply to either the Nursing program or the Radiologic Tecnology program. My question is, I have the prereqs for both so would it be possible to apply to both? And if...

6. Did you leave a nice office job to become a nurse?

   2ndGoRound replied to kgard7777's topic in Career Support

   I love this thread. I have a degree in Finance and a wonderful, laid back, weekends off, great paying, flexible, no holidays, 8 am - 3pm job and I am finishing 3 prereqs to apply to nursing school in the spring. Jitterbugg, I am with you...this is ...

7. Volunteering and nursing school

   2ndGoRound posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello all- I have an informal interview today to begin as a volunteer at a local hospital. This hospital is also the school to which I plan to apply to the nursing program in the spring (I am currently completing prereqs there). Do you think that m...

8. Prereq Scheduling Question

   2ndGoRound replied to 2ndGoRound's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks 3rdgenRN2b. I have thought about that before too...a forum for mommies returning to school. Talk about a good place to find some support and encouragement!

9. Prereq Scheduling Question

   2ndGoRound replied to 2ndGoRound's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks Jbeau! The last time I took Sociology was in high school (I know that really doesn't compare) but I really enjoyed it. :) I hope you're right...I love painfully easy!

10. Prereq Scheduling Question

    2ndGoRound replied to 2ndGoRound's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It makes me feel so much more at ease to read all these posts from wives and mothers going back to school...I know that I am not alone! I am thinking that pairing A&P with another class should be ok as long as it is paired with a relatively eas...

11. Prereq Scheduling Question

    2ndGoRound posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Can I get some friendly advice? I have a non-science degree so I am finishing up prereqs (that my previous degree did not require) and have Anatomy and Physiology I & II, Microbiology, Intro Sociology and Philosophy (Ethics) left to complete. Obv...

12. Need some ideas RE: external NICU appearance

    2ndGoRound replied to twinkletoes53's topic in NICU

    My daughter was premature and spent some time in the NICU/Special Care Nursery at one of our local hospitals. I loved the way the Special Care Nursery was set up. In the cooridoor leading to the nursery there were "then and now" pictures and short st...

    2ndGoRound replied to 2ndGoRound's topic in Louisiana

    Dsoginer, thanks so much for the great info! The only prereqs I am missing are A&P I and II and Microbiology. I think when I apply in the spring I will apply to OLOL (traditional program since my prereqs won't be completely finished) and BRCC t...

    2ndGoRound replied to 2ndGoRound's topic in General Nursing

    I want to thank you all for your replies, they are VERY encouraging. I think I am going to proceed with my final prereqs and apply to nursing school in the spring. In the meantime, I am going to pray about it and if nursing school is where God want...

    2ndGoRound replied to 2ndGoRound's topic in General Nursing

    A big thanks for the responses. I love to hear from moms and from 2nd degree nurses. I need to take A&P I, II & Microbiology and I will have all the prereqs. I think I may take your advice and take those and see how they go. I won't be ab...
