1. Start nursing school with a newborn at home?

   nurse2B444 replied to nurse2B444's topic in General Nursing

   Hey kneusha, Things are going great baby-wise (we are pregs!) and are uneventful job-wise. I will be looking more actively for a job once we make the move to northern VA at the end of this month, but what I hear is not encouraging. I really hope that...

2. Start nursing school with a newborn at home?

   Hey there, VolunteerCPR, OP here. I'm graduating in a month and hubby and I are trying to get pregnant now! I'm in my second two-week-wait. We're just going to go with it and I probably won't work for a while, if at all. Thankfully we can afford to d...

3. Experience needed before beginning midwifery program - timing issues!

   nurse2B444 posted a topic in CNM

   Thanks for reading, and any advice! I am halfway through an accelerated BSN program in Virginia right now. I decided to become an RN because I wanted to go the CNM route, instead of pursuing midwifery without a nursing degree. I'm wondering how impor...

5. Patients refusing assessments

   nurse2B444 replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

   A lot of people are mentioning that she should just be discharged if she is refusing care. While that is a very valid point, it doesn't sound as though she is refusing all care, because she is being treated with antibiotics, right? If she is able to ...

   rkitty198, thank you for your kind and understanding words! it's hard for everyone these days, and I'm always grateful to have the options I do have available to me - I know many people don't have the luxury of choice, they just have to make it work!

7. Start nursing school with a newborn at home?

   nurse2B444 replied to nurse2B444's topic in General Nursing

   OP here - reading back over these, I'm honestly not sure I made the right decision. I'm 9 months out from graduation right now. I'm a straight A student and I haven't found the program all that challenging. I mean, of course there are stressful days ...

8. New grads 2011, Northern Virginia/DC, who is hiring?

   nurse2B444 replied to Nurses-Rule1987's topic in Virginia

   I have the same question! Moving up to the DC area at the start of 2012, as a new grad. It seems like INOVA pretty much is not hiring new grads at this point. Anyone working up there have an idea what the starting salary is for a new grad?

9. Getting pregnant at the end of nursing school..... terrible idea?

   nurse2B444 replied to nurse2B444's topic in Career Support

   thanks everyone for your thoughts. I was afraid it would be that way. It seems as though waiting a full year after graduation is the most sensible choice. That's two years from now though, so I'll definitely try to figure out another way. Possibly no...

    Hi all, I'm halfway through an 18 month accelerated BSN program. My husband and I have been putting off having a baby because of school. We would like to get pregnant in about six months, so that I would be due about 5 months after graduating. Is tha...

    nurse2B444 replied to nurse2B444's topic in General Nursing

    we did decide to wait. we've got a countdown till when we can start trying, and its always hard to wait. but once we made the decision, and it obviously made the most practical sense, it's easier to see the big picture. it'll just be so much easier w...

    Hi, Thank you all for reading! I have just decided not to attend a Johns Hopkins nursing program that begins in June, due to financial reasons. Since I was intending to go there, I turned down all my other school options that were more reasonable cos...

13. BSN School advice? So appreciated... thanks!!

    nurse2B444 replied to nurse2B444's topic in Career Support

    Thank you so much for your post. I have definitely decided not to go to JH at this point. I hope the VCU program is adequate clinically... it's 5 consecutive semesters, the last 4 of which include clinical components. The school recommends not workin...

14. school choice advice... thanks for reading!!

    nurse2B444 replied to nurse2B444's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks to all for your input. I'll just add to clarify: my total debt for JH (including interest) would be 90K (originial tuition costs ~ 62K). I already declined at VCU, which is why I would be waiting a year to go there, plus its a 2 yr. program i...

    nurse2B444 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, thanks for reading! I'm currently having trouble with the decision to turn down admission to Johns Hopkins SON for an accelerated bachelor's. If I turn it down, I won't be paying 90K+ for a BSN (a pro). But I'll also have to wait three more years...
