   kjenkins55 replied to kjenkins55's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks for the reply! I was confused on the CNA/Tech lingo for a while until I found out that all of the nursing techs in our hospital are CNA's. I've also done some stalking in the hospital department phone book, and there are about 7 Nursing/OR Tec...

2. Is it hard to get a job with an Associates degree in Nursing?

   kjenkins55 replied to bailee4's topic in ADN/BSN

   I've already got my AA, so I'm going back to the local CC for my pre req's, then applying to the BSN program at a local university. I think I'd probably do this anyway though, because I know for sure I want to go back and get my CNM/WHNP...and you ha...

   OP, I hope to get to see some labors like this, because they amaze me! I've been in touch with the natural birth community here since my first was born, and know lots of women who've gone without drugs. Not all say it was painless, but so many say...

7. At the beginning of a long journey and super excited!

   kjenkins55 replied to kjenkins55's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm not trying to say 27 is 'old', it just seems like all of the nursing students I see look about 20. Part of it might be living in a multiple university town. Most everyone I know went to school right away and has had their bachelors for years. ...

   Thank you for your kind reply :) I'm just nervous..but at the same time, so excited I can't stand it. I spent several years in college, just kind of dinking around because I couldn't figure out what my real passion was. I just kind of floated. The...
