With a student loan that I will be paying for the rest of my life! I am expecting about $130,000 total, with my BSN. Hopefully, I will get one of those under-served area jobs where they pay a portion...

I am paying $1,650 per CREDIT, books this next term are about $1,200. Working on a masters.

There are 6 schools that have midwifery online, some with campus visits required. 1. East Caroline University - approximately $39,600 for the 2 year program - ranked #26 2. Frontier Nursing...

On the one hand, you may be in "school mode" and best to keep on chugging through it all. But, are you really sure you want to be a NP? If you haven't had any time as a nurse, you may not be really...

Georgetown says they only accept about 35% of those who apply. I did not have L&D experience - just a final clinical for my BSN for about 8 weeks on L&D. Not sure what my references said about me....

Personally, I love the white dresses and white caps. Even been known to wear the white pantyhose. And of course, shoes not sneakers. Everyone knows you're a nurse and don't confuse you with...

Agree with previous post. Even to practice as a CNA, you must be certified in your state after passing a written and a skills test. To work as a LPN you must pass a test -the NCLEX, but for LPN...

Hopefully, it will continue with Obama, or whoever else goes in, and we won't have to jump through too many hoops that are nearly impossible!

I am hoping for NHSC! I really don't care where I have to go - I can hold my breath for 5 years to pay off student loans - I hope my children will think the same thing, though they may be of age...

I just quit an agency job because I could not deal with it. Yeah, the pay of $35 an hour was great ($10 more than a regular LTC care in my area), but after 10.5 hours with no break at all (I know it...

Oh Lord, just got a look at my bill for this first term. I pray that financial aid is in my future! And then a way to pay off the student loan!

From my brief time spent with a CNM, she does a homebirth business in the suburbs of a large metro area, has office visits in her home about 3-4 days a week, maybe a home visit each week where she...

Just decided to quite my job at the agency yesterday. Had worked a 10.5 hour PM shift the night before with no break at all. Had a new admit and a HOSPICE patient with lots of family (and a dog)...

Thank you! You will be in my thoughts and prayers the next few week also. I was a Navy wife for 15 years and used to have a APO address. Is your "APO525" something significant?

YEAH!!! I have been accepted for the online Masters in midwifery/WHNP program at Georgetown University!!! I just got the email about 20 minutes ago. Can't believe it. I was so worried they wouldn't...

I had applied a few weeks ago for a master program in CNM/WHNP. Am going crazy waiting for a reply! Anyone else going through this waiting period? Anyone else want to cry with not knowing what your...

A CNM I shadowed a few weeks ago told me she pays $6,000 a year, but only has minimal coverage - $100,000/$300,000 (?) Of course, as a CNM doing homebirths, the least little thing and she will risk...

I am currently unemployed (for the past two years) and waiting to see if I am accepted into a masters program. In the meantime, I am living on alimony and child support. I did have 1.5 years working...

My ex was a Navy Intelligence officer for 20 years and we moved around every 3-5 years. We were around AF and Army and Navy bases. My ex always joked that the Air Force would spend all their budgeted...

COT? Candidate Officer Training? So they are already CNMs instead of going to school through the Air Force?

I was a Navy wife for 15 years and loved it for the most part. However, as far as families are concerned, the Air Force does it better. They usually have nicer bases and better housing.

While I am waiting anxiously for news on my application to a midwifery masters program, I am also thinking of other options in case I don't get accepted (just found out they have an acceptance rate...

3-5 days is pretty normal for LTC. Not bad if you are experienced, you only have to learn the routine of that facility. If you are a new grad, it is like being thrown into the deep end of the pool....

My experience has been that it does not matter what school you attend or your GPA. As long as you have your license and are certified, employers don't know the difference.
