1. Bedside... Really?

   Jennie.K replied to Jennie.K's topic in CNM

   Thank you for the info! I have narrowed it down to either Frontier or Georgetown. Since I am still working on my BSN, I am going to stay open to which grad school to go to. I also spoke with my nursing adviser this morning and she too mentioned Front...

2. Bedside... Really?

   Jennie.K replied to Jennie.K's topic in CNM

   A lot of the programs I have spoken with will accept students with any hospital experience. They understand that L&D units are really hard to get into. Also, Georgetown told me that they will not penalize an applicant for doing an ADN then bridgi...

   Jennie.K replied to Jennie.K's topic in CNM

   Thank you for the reply! I didn't look at it like that. I think I was just trying to find a speedy way to get to the end. However, experience takes time. Who knows, I may find that I love bedside nursing once I start! Besides, I want to be the best N...

4. Bedside... Really?

   Jennie.K replied to Jennie.K's topic in CNM

   Oh my goodness people, yes I have shadowed RNs. Yes, I am unsure which path I should take (there are only a million to choose from). Please, excuse me for posting a question on a public forum instead of doing my own research about different programs....

6. Bedside... Really?

   Jennie.K replied to Jennie.K's topic in CNM

   That is not what is making my mind up, which I am still at a cross road. Sorry if it seemed as though I was only utilizing crowd-sourcing as my primary information route - not the case. Obliviously, any posts on a forum are going to be negative becau...

7. Bedside... Really?

   Jennie.K replied to Jennie.K's topic in CNM

   Thank you so much for the info! I am actually more interested in the prenatal care than I am actually delivering the babies. At first, I was looking into becoming an OB-GYN; however, after some research, I found that a CNM/WHCNP would be a much bette...

8. Bedside... Really?

   Jennie.K posted a topic in CNM

   Hey guys! Do any of you all know of a CNM program that does not require one to be an RN first or do bedside nursing? After doing a lot of research, I really don't think bedside nursing is for me. However, I really want to become a CNM and would also...

9. Nobody told me that after graduation...

   Jennie.K replied to smclean27's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with this. It will give you experience and pay most, if not all, your student loan debt.

10. 6-Year Plan!?!

    Jennie.K replied to SAHM23Boys's topic in Online Learning

    You will need to find which BSN program you want to do. Then, contact them and ask what prereqs you need and what will transfer.

11. No RN Jobs - new grad

    Jennie.K replied to ed25's topic in Career Support

    Sorry, I can only offer sympathy. There are a ton of RN jobs around here. However, they are all for experienced RNs

12. Philosophy

    Jennie.K replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took Intro to Philosophy online and it was a lot of reading and discussion boards. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the class. I thought it was fun to argue different topics from different philosopher's view points.

13. Any other MilSpouses with concerns?

    Jennie.K replied to Jennie.K's topic in Pre-Nursing

    HA! I was originally going to school for teaching; but, since TX has put a hold on hiring public teachers, I thought I should look into other careers. The responsibility nurses have terrified me at first. Then, after I took A&P, I realized this i...

14. Need advice about my schedule: too much?

    Jennie.K replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would make sure the General Bio will transfer. Most likely, it will; but you will need to make sure. Now, for how challenging the schedule will be. Introductory level bio and chem are pretty easy. Also, general psych and sociology seem like the sam...

15. Quitting during Orientation!!?? Help!!

    Jennie.K replied to Roskarin's topic in Career Support

    Also, in some states, hospitals use private companies to screen potential employees. If your name lands on the "should not hire" list, you will not be able to get a job at any hospital that uses that company.
