3. Is my school the only one that ends this late?

   Bazooka replied to Work in Progress's topic in New Nurse

   I'm in a summer program, and our last semester started on May 3rd, and our last day of class is July 26. After that the school has to send everything in. I think a lot depends on what area you live in, but I think it's good to stay positive! Our s...

4. Natural or Directed pushing

   Bazooka replied to Bazooka's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thank you for your responses! We were taught in school to go with evidenced based care, and let the mother push the baby out with the urge. We were told it was best to use the most natural techniques possible, unless the woman had a heavy epidural ...

8. UTMB Summer '09 Applicants

   Bazooka replied to Bazooka's topic in Texas

   Hi! I actually don't think they are doing another summer program, I think it changed to Spring 2010. I am not for sure, but I think that's what it said on the website. As far as I know, all the prerequisites need to be completed before the program...

13. UTMB Summer '09 Applicants

    Bazooka replied to Bazooka's topic in Texas

    For the summer (15 month), we didn't have to submit anything for an entrance exam. However, they do require a personal statement. I don't know what chance you have at getting in. It really depends on how many students apply per semester. I think ...
