   dg05 replied to dg05's topic in General Nursing

   Absolutely. Most organizations won't even look at your resume if you don't have any experience and hospital experience is pretty much where it's at. MSF won't think about hiring you unless you have two years of experience. Most other organizations ar...

   dg05 replied to dg05's topic in General Nursing

   Hello Nursology, sorry for the long delay. I was in the field and just arrived home a few days ago. My experience with RN RN was excellent. They're very professional and helpful. It's a totally different experience than MSF though -- MSF is a career ...

4. Doctors Without Borders Interview

   dg05 replied to dg05's topic in General Nursing

   Hello Paulina, Sorry for the delayed response. I've been out of the country for the last 30 days with a different organization. I had a response about a week or so ago -- more like seven weeks after the interview (their time frame was 4-6 weeks). I w...

5. Doctors Without Borders Interview

   dg05 replied to dg05's topic in General Nursing

   Hello, Thank you for your response. Were you accepted? Did you ever work for MSF? I think I have a pretty good handle on cultural sensitivity as I've lived and worked among several different cultures. I've also lived and worked with people with widel...

   dg05 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello there, I have an interview with Doctors Without Borders in a few weeks and I am wondering if anyone has experience with this organization. What kind of questions do they ask? How long was the interview? Anything specific I should do to prepare,...

   dg05 replied to yaz's topic in CNM

   beanie29 I'm wondering about your statement "When I'm giving birth, I like to be with women who have birthed before." Does that mean you would be uncomfortable with me attending your birth? I'm a woman who is preparing to enter midwifery school. I h...

   dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate

   planet612 - for example the midwifery students take a field trip to Albany to speak with legislators there about midwifery practice in the state, etc. Doggie Dad - if you're going to Columbia this is the advice I would give you: (1) have an attitude ...

9. Columbia University ETP 2008

   dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate

   Fiona - This is usually true but when I graduated (May 08) I can say that I honestly only know about one person who was hired directly to her integration site. Of course, I only know a limited number of people but still...also, I know several people ...

10. Columbia University ETP 2008

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate

    You are not allowed to work during the clinical portion of your midwifery education. This means that you can take a year working and taking the non-clinical classes but you must spend at least another year (in addition to the ETP year) not working. I...

    dg05 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate

    If you're on top of your paperwork -- they give you a little town meeting about this in February or March -- then you can take your exam a little as a week after you graduate. I took mine two weeks after graduation and I know a handful of people who ...

    dg05 replied to Mr_Tom's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would just second the "don't take science classes online" bit. I took micro online and felt pretty far behind. Maybe that's because I'm not terribly motivated and I learn better in a classroom but science stuff is just too detailed and important no...
