1. Maryville University WEC

   L&DWannabe replied to llerou1's topic in Missouri

   I am currently in the Maryville WEC program. I don't know about the prereqs needed but when I applied I needed 32. I actually got a psych minor just to be able to enter the program. The difficulty of the classes is the same as other nursing schools, ...

2. Maryville nursing program

   L&DWannabe replied to EBT67's topic in Missouri

   mcalvin- you are so right. Most people in WEC BSN program already have previous degrees, so a BSN makes more sense. If you don't, and are starting from scratch, it makes more sense to do a RN. The schools are a little less fail-happy, and you can alw...

3. Midwifery. How does it work in the US?

   L&DWannabe replied to iNurseUK's topic in General Nursing

   I'm pretty sure that the term "lay midwife" could still be used. Not all midwives get certification. A lay midwife would truly be someone who just goes around delivering babies with no documentation that she has the right to do so. Like a grandma tha...

4. Going from a career in nursing to med school

   L&DWannabe replied to AmandaMae3721's topic in General Nursing

   my question is...if your driving force is to have children and you think that nursing would work well with the schedule...why don't you try something much more simple that gives you a schedule that works with a family? Nursing school consumes your li...

5. Maryville nursing program

   L&DWannabe replied to EBT67's topic in Missouri

   Re MOnurse: It depends on what we are doing academically with how many we lose. With our pharmacology skills we probably lost about 5 students. With our sterile field demos we lost about 6. Earlier losses were probably more like 1-2 per semester. But...

6. Maryville nursing program

   L&DWannabe replied to EBT67's topic in Missouri

   Hi...just wanted to let you all know a perspective about Maryville WEC bsn that's not so shiny. About every week at Maryville, there is a chance to fail out, and we usually do lose at least one or two students. You could be the best student with the ...

7. Ampule Question: Does this make sense?

   L&DWannabe replied to L&DWannabe's topic in General Nursing

   Ya, I'm in nursing school (BSN) and if we touch the needle to the side of the ampule we fail the demonstration of that skill. And in clinical practice, we are told we would have to waist the med and start over?? I'm going to have to do it this way......

8. Ampule Question: Does this make sense?

   L&DWannabe posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have a question about withdrawing meds from an ampule. I am being taught that a triangular-stance method to stabilize my hands because we are not able to touch the needle anywhere inside the ampule...not just the rim, but at all. My question is: Wh...

9. Please help me, I'm in trouble.

   L&DWannabe replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

   If you can't afford a lawyer, open up a credit card with a lower interest rate, they're pretty easy to find. Then just put it all on the card and make the minimum payments. It's not as painful as it may seem. No, it's not ideal. But this is your cur...

10. Acceptance into Maryville Univ.

    L&DWannabe replied to carlarenee02's topic in Missouri

    Congrats! I just got my letter too! Yay! Now we're official!

11. 2015 is it official? YES

    L&DWannabe replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in CRNA

    I agree. "Doctor" is not the technical term for a physician. I think that this is such a positive change for nurses. What a better way to earn the respect that we deserve? These advanced degrees are going to make the title "nurse" have so much more w...

12. ALL NURSES this affects all of you

    L&DWannabe replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Nursing

    What if the true purpose is to keep Health Care workers from getting sick so that we have enough staff to care for those who are sick? I think the government is freaked out about this pandemic, and they don't want empty hallways due all the nurses be...

13. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    L&DWannabe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm....I'm not sure about "just go for it"...but it does come down to the individual. I don't think it is unwise to worry about getting yourself really far into debt- You really have to weigh the pros and cons. Right now- I'm going to a private scho...

14. Postpartum Mood Disorders

    L&DWannabe replied to Elvish's topic in NICU

    I had never heard of post-partum Psychosis- I had only heard of the Depression- so since I was SCARED after having my baby, not SAD- I figured I was just going crazy, felt like a terrrible mother, and didn't want to tell ANYONE for fear they would ta...

15. Starting a website

    L&DWannabe replied to TiddlywinksMom's topic in General Nursing

    My HONEST advice? You're asking a bunch of Chevorlet fans if you should drive a Ford. Most people here are dedicated to this website- so getting a "go ahead" from this post, at least a possitive response, may proove to be difficult. There are MILLION...
