1. Made a mistake!

   rn2bein08 replied to what2donow's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I learn more from my stupid mistakes (near-misses) than from anything/anywhere else! Take this as a learning experience and walk with your head high knowing we ALL make mistakes!

2. New ER nurse wanting to work contingent OB....

   rn2bein08 replied to mandababy0326's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I agree with the need for experience! Your best bet is to focus on one area right now (ER or OB). If you decide to go the OB route start at your own facility where they know you and you'd have a better chance of getting into L&D without experienc...

3. are there any cert. that i can get to boost my chances for a L&D job??

   rn2bein08 replied to EILEEN456's topic in Ob/Gyn

   NRP, Fetal monitoring and STABLE are necessary in my area... breastfeeding certification like (CLC or CLS) would be very beneficial as well.

4. Calling experienced OB nurses:)

   rn2bein08 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   rn2bein08 replied to mimibear's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't know much about the point system since our U goes only on gpa. But... I was supposed to get my letter after March 29th but I called the advisor and she gave me the gpa cutoff so I knew if I made it or not. Which I did!!! But, I'd try to call ...

   rn2bein08 replied to rn2bein08's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yep! The celebrations are on hold until I receive "the letter" in the mail (even though I may indulge in a bit of champagne tonight!!) I am just relieved that I can relax and stop worrying about it every minute of the day!!! How is it that it's alway...

10. What did you do to CELEBRATE??

    rn2bein08 replied to Stdy2BaNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I will be getting "the letter" in 2 weeks and plan on taking the kids to an amusement park and going out for an expensive supper! But then, when isn't it expensive with four little ones!!! I can't wait!!!!!

    rn2bein08 replied to rn2bein08's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks so much for the luck!!! Here's me sending it right back to you!!! Make sure you post back here when you get your acceptance letter! At my college they only look at GPA so if I knew the cutoff I would know if I made it. I just don't want to ann...

    rn2bein08 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So... here it is. I am waiting for my letter which is supposed to be mailed out in exactly two weeks from today. So... would it be completely insane to call and see if they would release at least the cut off GPA? Yes... I know I have waited this long...

    rn2bein08 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    So ladies (men too) what was the GPA cut off for your school's nursing program? Or, what was your GPA when you were accepted?

15. Ok girls lets talk about...

    rn2bein08 replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Personally, I cannot wait to do OB! Being a mommy of four I know what it involves and I can't wait to be a part of that experience! My view may be somewhat partial since someday I want to become a CNM.
