1. Nursing in France

   cherrymary replied to jenig12's topic in International

   Hi, I just wanted to piggyback on this fascinating discussion since you all seem to be so knowledgeable!! How easy is it to transfer a BSN from the States into a nursing license in France? I have dual citizenship with the UK so I can work in the EU w...

2. prerequisites online?

   cherrymary posted a topic in Post Graduate

   Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how I can take prerequisites for a direct-entry MSN program. This is sort of a new concept for me, so I really appreciate your help! I still have to take Microbiology, Chemistry (General and Organic), A&P I&...

   Hey, IntlNurse2b, congratulations!! My interview is on the 27th, how about yours? I applied to the midwifery program, which I hear is one of the more competitive specialties, so we'll see how it goes... Glad to see you on here, good luck with everyth...

5. Come to America to Have your Baby!!

   cherrymary replied to hope3456's topic in Activism

   Hi all, I thought I'd jump in again and explain myself since I'm the one who first responded to your post about Arabic patients, OB_RN. I apologize, my use of the phrase "racial profiling" was sort of a kneejerk reaction and not fair to you, I'm sure...

7. midwives and cancer care

   cherrymary posted a topic in CNM

   Do CNMs do any oncology work? I know they can do all kinds of well-woman care, including breast and cervical cancer prevention, but how about treatment? I'm curious what you all have experienced.

8. Psych RN's, being phased out???

   cherrymary replied to Halinja's topic in Psychiatric

   You know, to me this sounds like something we talked about in a class I'm taking on the history of psychiatry, the idea that 50 years from now there will be no psychiatrists, only neurologists!! Just look at the trend: 70 years ago, mental health wa...

9. Moms who want to feel absolutely NO pain

   cherrymary replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Right, and not only that they have the potential for slowing labor down (partly due to being strapped to one place, working against gravity), there's the fact that after getting an epidural women are NPO. At least at my hospital (I'm a doula) they ar...

10. Personality Type and Nursing

    cherrymary replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Nursing

    INFP! Never seen this before, not sure how much stock I put in it... but helpful at the moment cos I'm writing my application essay and I'm stuck on the question "Give a balanced assessment of your personal strengths and weaknesses"!! (Hard question,...

11. Rural CNM?

    cherrymary posted a topic in Rural

    Hi all, In your area do they have any Certified Nurse Midwives, or just MDs? I want to be a CNM for the primary care and family planning as much as the labor and delivery part of it, and I would love to practice in a rural area where you know all you...

12. Breastfeeding at 2 1/2 years???

    cherrymary replied to Murse901's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, my mom breastfed me and my brother for a LONG time - I was 3, he was at least 4, probably 5... and let me tell you it was GREAT!! Just wanted to add the kid's point of view... from someone who remembers it!

13. grad entry WHNP/CNM programs?

    cherrymary replied to cherrymary's topic in Post Graduate

    Thanks you two!! Yep, it's pretty twisted how money calls all the shots these days...

14. Direct Entry Midwifery Programs...

    cherrymary replied to LAW79's topic in Post Graduate

    Well, it's a silly reason, but essentially because Yale has fewer prerequisites! If I were to apply to UW, I would have to spend a whole extra year taking science classes at a community college, because you have to have taken most of them by the time...

    cherrymary posted a topic in Post Graduate
