   OP--Can I ask which company you are working for?

2. Lactation Consultant Courses

   nrsyann replied to nrsyann's topic in Ob/Gyn

   That was part of my question; the difference between counselor, consultant, educator, etc. I think I have a firm grasp on it right now. As far as not seeing myself becoming IBCLC certified in the future, I'm just wanting to take steps right now to de...

3. Lactation Consultant Courses

   nrsyann replied to nrsyann's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks for the info! I have an email out to UCSD to get a little more detail. Their next online course starts 6/30 and I was hoping to start before then. Sounds like a great program though!

4. Lactation Consultant Courses

   nrsyann posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hello- I'm trying very hard to get into postpartum nursing and I want to take a lactation consultant course to beef up my resume. I've been doing some research and I have a few questions. Is there a difference between lactation counselor and lactatio...

5. Aren't You just Incredibly Proud?

   nrsyann replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I love the "wiggly-puppy stage" visual. Stay positive and you will do fine!

6. Let go from orientation

   nrsyann replied to newnurse1986's topic in New Nurse

   I would definitely contact HR. It sounds like you could apply for other positions in the hospital. If L&D isn't a good fit then something else will be. Is this a large hospital? Is it a health system where you could apply for a nursing position a...

7. New OB RN

   nrsyann replied to newnurse1986's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am so sorry to hear this! I know it is difficult, but I'm sure the right fit is out there for you. Hang in there!

8. Burned out and hate nursing

   nrsyann replied to RN1023's topic in Stress 101

   I just got hired on to do Utilization Review at a hospital. I haven't started yet so I can't speak to whether or not I will like/love it, but I had to get away from floor nursing. I've only been at it 15 months and I just can't do it anymore for all ...

9. University Texas at Arlington vs Grand Canyon University?

   nrsyann replied to ashleychaye's topic in School Programs

   I am almost done with GCU and I have never had two papers due the same week. Also, the longest paper I've ever had to write was between 1,000-1,250 words. Honestly, that is not that bad and not even close to 10 pages. The hardest class for me was sta...

10. Time frame for posting to students and DQ. Need help

    nrsyann replied to tokmom's topic in School Programs

    Here is how I do it; DQ1: Original post Wednesday plus two responses. Two more responses Thursday. Two more responses on Friday. DQ2: Original post Friday plus two responses. Two more responses Saturday. Two more responses Sunday. Done! Sunday midn...

11. Time frame for posting to students and DQ. Need help

    nrsyann replied to tokmom's topic in School Programs

    This is what I do; First DQ needs to be in by Wednesday. You can post it anytime before that. Usually I post it on Tuesday. Then I do 2 responses to 2 other students on 3 separate days. So I will have a total of 7 posts for DQ1 (my original and 6 res...

12. I am currently in the RN-BSN program

    nrsyann replied to centered-rn's topic in School Programs

    I did take stats and it was hard! I am not a math person at all and struggle with math anxiety. I didn't like the format of online learning for stats but it is what it is. I used the Khan Academy tutorials (they are what you learn from) and they were...

13. I am currently in the RN-BSN program

    nrsyann replied to centered-rn's topic in School Programs

    I am currently taking my fifth class at GCU and I have had absolutely no problems. I even had a family emergency during my last class and thought for sure I would have to drop. With the encouragement of my instructor I stuck it out and finished the c...

14. Floating?

    nrsyann replied to Morganalefey's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital we float within our "community" anytime during the first 6 months off orientation. After 6 months we are expected to float anywhere. Obviously not to an OB or ED or ICU floor since that is outside of our expertise. I almost had to floa...

15. Is it possible to change your enrollment counselor at GCU?

    nrsyann replied to Alibaba's topic in School Programs

    I'm sorry you're having a difficult time. I'm in the online RN-BSN program and I had zero difficulties. My enrollment counselor was extremely helpful and timely. I think from the time we first spoke until I signed on was maybe 2 weeks tops. I'm halfw...
