1. Calling All Lamaze Instructors

   Noelani replied to BrewerRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   It was easier than I expected. I wouldn't worry about it. It's mostly common sense questions. If you read the study guide and know the healthy birth practices you'll be fine. Good luck!

2. ICEA childbirth educator information?

   Noelani replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Ob/Gyn

   When I was considering certification last year, I decided to take both ICEA and Lamaze childbirth educator seminars. At the time, I wasn't sure what the differences were between the two and considered getting certified for both. After attending both ...

3. Saint Louis University SLU?!

   Noelani replied to 47726's topic in Missouri

   I just looked back at the letter and it's dated November 5th, but I don't remember exactly when I applied. It seemed to be a very quick response, as far as college acceptance letters go. I wish I could help you with where to live, but I'm from out o...

4. Saint Louis University SLU?!

   Noelani replied to 47726's topic in Missouri

   The letter they sent me just said I was conditionally accepted pending completion of theology or religion. I'm pretty sure all I needed was a C to get credit for the course and stay accepted. But the school didn't even get my last transcript until af...

5. Saint Louis University SLU?!

   Noelani replied to 47726's topic in Missouri

   They say they start making decisions in the fall prior to each May start date, but there's no firm application deadline. I think I applied in October or November. You have to complete the transfer admission application, along with a separate nursing ...

6. Saint Louis University SLU?!

   Noelani replied to 47726's topic in Missouri

   I'm in the program now and LOVE IT. I started in May and will graduate next May. Summer semester was pretty difficult, but I'm told it's the hardest semester and it was still definitely doable, as long as you can make a serious time commitment. I hon...

7. Non-clinical nursing - What is out there?

   Noelani replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

   It sparked my imagination! Thanks!

8. The End of Men

   Noelani replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

   My school has a dedicated education program where randomly selected students attend all their clinicals at the same hospital, and tend to get more hands-on experience. There are 25 spots available, but the number of spots reserved for interested male...

   You're so amazing. An inspiration to us all!

10. Have a bachelor's degree and want to become an RN-do I get 2nd degree BSN or other?

    Noelani replied to TarynCMT's topic in Career Support

    That's wonderful that you have such a supportive family to help with childcare. Nursing school is time-consuming and being a single mom at the same time sounds like a huge undertaking! I have my first bachelor's in biology, and just started a 12-m...

11. Should I re-follow up?

    Noelani replied to choksantos's topic in Career Support

    I'd call the recruiter back and just politely say you're checking on the status of an application. But if it's only been 3 days, and she said to give the manager a couple of days, I'd personally give it another 2 days or so. It's great to seem eage...

12. Pharmacology or Pathophysiology

    Noelani replied to Loves2learn's topic in Student Assist

    In my program we take half of pharm, then patho, then the rest of pharm. I think it depends on how the classes are taught. If patho is a prereq for pharm where you are, then pharm will probably be taught assuming you know all about patho and they w...

13. Isolation Patients: what is your protocol for dining ?

    Noelani replied to DaddyO's topic in General Nursing

    Where I used to work, food would be sent up to isolation rooms on disposable trays with all disposable utensils. The kitchen staff would not take it into the room like they did for everyone else, but would instead leave the tray at the nurses statio...

14. Does Nursing School Allow Any College Major?

    Noelani replied to kaolla56's topic in General Students

    I'm at SLU now in the accelerated program. We have ALL kinds of majors, including religious studies, philosophy, engineering, finance, and French. Like others have said, as long as you have the prerequisites, you should be fine.

15. Take CNA class or be a Research Assistant?

    Noelani replied to karegan2's topic in General Students

    And yes, being a CNA is very physically demanding and always thinking about body mechanics is essential to protect your back (same as you'd have to do as a nurse), but I would make the same decision all over again. The experience was more rewarding ...
