  1. Finding the elusive cervix...

    Hi! The best advice I ever got was the following: Don't open the speculum until it's fully inserted. When you start opening it a bit, if the cervix doesn't pop right into view, take note of the texture of the vaginal wall you're visualizing. If it ha...
  2. Call shifts and commuting distance

    Hi everyone, I am a new CNM and new mom considering a move to a medium sized city for a full time CNM position with 48-72 hours of hospital call per week, in a practice that has about 30 deliveries per month. At that caseload, I foresee being able to...
  3. Emory CNM

    Hi, Congrats on your admission! I see this is an older post so I'm not sure if you've already had your questions answered, but I'll share my thoughts. I guess you're starting in the May cohort next month? I graduated from the Emory ABSN-MSN program a...
  4. March 2013 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    Bill, how many times do I have to tell you? Leggings do not count as pants. Please put on some scrubs!
  5. Who wants to go to Emory? Summer 2013 ABSN/MSN

    Ok, thanks for asking around for us!
  6. Who wants to go to Emory? Summer 2013 ABSN/MSN

    I still haven't heard anything from financial aid. One of my parents just recently sent in their CSS profile, so I expect that it will take a while for processing. I really want to hear something about the scholarship/fellowship soon though. Even ...
  7. Who wants to go to Emory? Summer 2013 ABSN/MSN

    I was told we would find out if we are Fuld fellowship finalists in early March, and that interviews for finalists are tentatively scheduled for March 22. (I'm not sure how many people are interviewed for it.) I don't know about you all, but someti...
  8. Who wants to go to Emory? Summer 2013 ABSN/MSN

    Thanks to you both for all of the information! I would have really liked to go but couldn't for family health reasons. I have decided to go to Emory unless I absolutely can't afford it. Your comments about financial aid offer some comfort. Terri...
  9. Help... Peace corps, ABSN, d-e MSN, or MPH? which one first?

    I also think the advice above is golden, but I wanted to add a few thoughts as a returned Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV) and current nursing school applicant. I was a health extension volunteer in West Africa (before the creation of the Global Health Co...
  10. Who wants to go to Emory? Summer 2013 ABSN/MSN

    Well, if you're a fast writer, Lindsay, you still have about 24 hrs! I'm still working on mine :/
  11. Who wants to go to Emory? Summer 2013 ABSN/MSN

    I got the call too! Congrats to the others who were accepted! I'm in the same boat as you, Suebnp. I really like Emory, but I won't be able to make a decision until I find out about aid/scholarships. On that note, I better get back to finishing ...
  12. Feeling like a servant

    I think it's a great idea to show patients and/or family members the kitchen and inform them of the policies, as suggested by KookyKorky. Perhaps some people are truly ignorant of how it works (don't know where the kitchen/vending is, think that dri...
  13. Anyone applying to Emory Fall 2013

    @lafemme, I don't know if you have already registered to retake the TEAS, but your score is well above average. I just noticed today that they have updated the website and it says "There is no minimum TEAS score in order to be considered for admissi...
  14. Summer Entry 2013 Accelerated BSN/MSN Johns Hopkins

    I didn't get the chat email but am going to crash it anyway, heheh. I think the regular decision process is unusually behind schedule this year. I turned everything in by Nov. 15 and got an email today saying my application is complete and that "[CO...
  15. Who wants to go to Emory? Summer 2013 ABSN/MSN

    Come to think of it, we will probably be able to just see the decision on OPUS on 1/25. Though perhaps anticlimactic compared to a phone call or letter, that would be convenient. Are any of you applying to the scholar/fellowships? I'm planning to a...
