   Whew! I am so glad to have read this albeit a little bit late. I feel like I barely slid into home plate in terms of motivation and was wondering if I had a serious problem or what..I also had a horrible time settling down at the beginning of break, ...

2. CNM school with kids-time involved

   birthmamaew replied to mAGGI315's topic in CNM

   I think it really depends on what type of learner you are. I, like midwife2b am not one who does well with online courses. However, Frontier is supposed to be so amazing, that if you can learn that way, go for it. I am in an traditional graduate nu...

3. Kicked out of school for being pregnant!?

   birthmamaew replied to ibambamama's topic in CNM

   Sorry to be blunt but that is the most ridiculous thing I may have ever heard. There are many people who have gone through my CNM program and had babies while there. The profs were known to rock the students' babies to sleep as she lectured. Someth...

   birthmamaew replied to rigbyk's topic in CNM

   I was accepted at Penn but am attending Georgetown. This was maily a decision that I made with my family in mind in regard to the financial aid I was offered and the timing of the program. Feel free to contact me if you'd like more info! :)

   This is such an interesting topic, and a timely one too which I'll explain in a minute. I am currently in a CNM program after recently graduating form my BSN. This is a midlife career change for me, and one I feel is what I am truly meant to do. I...

   Wise women, I am in need of a recomendation for a good hand held, waterproof doppler. I am in midwifery school and will be using it in a variety of settings- home, hospital, birth center, water, land. What are your preferences? I'd like to get a goo...

7. I passed!!!!! I loved my study guide.

   birthmamaew posted a topic in NCLEX

   I just wanted to put in a plug for the Hurst review online. I did it at home because I have children to take care of. The videos are awesome and the advice is invaluable. If you combine that with doing tons of questions, it works well. I passed the...

10. Looking for a good bag

    birthmamaew posted a topic in Post Graduate

    This may seem like a silly request but I am about to start my graduate program and will be commuting each day to a major east coast city via train, schlepping etc. I will also have a ton of books and a laptop. I am wondering if anyone has found a me...

    There are lots of programs out there. Which one is best for you really depends on your situation and the type of learner you are. In terms of online programs, may are very reputable such as Frontier. The trick with these programs is that you have...

12. Advice for wanna be NP w/2 yrs college done?

    birthmamaew replied to golden-hair's topic in Post Graduate

    I agree, get your BSN. However, I have another perspective on accelerated programs, having just finished one. Yes, it did cost a ton of money, BUT it has come full circle. I chose to go to a rather expensive but very reputable accelerated program....

13. SHOES: Are Dansko comfortable?

    birthmamaew replied to ternerzero's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I had Danskos and also twisted my ankle repeatedly. A friend did the same thing and fell down a flight of stairs doing so. I have found that the Quark Pro-Air are very comfortable with good arch support. I love Danskos (other models) for everyday,...

14. hey do anyone think the NCSBN review is difficult?

    birthmamaew replied to leeleechee's topic in NCLEX

    Whew! I thought I was really going to lose it. I started this course last night and almost cried when I, the 3.9 student was getting high 60's low70's. I'm glad to hear that others think this is a good review. Thank you!

15. Violent Sex Offender on our unit (long)...

    birthmamaew replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering if the visit to the young girl down the hall might not be a violation of his parole. This is obviously speculation, but it seems like the little chats he insists on having might be enough to at least have a talk with his PO about. You...
