  1. Nursing educators- salaries

    lovingpecola replied to ginat113's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    This is all very enlightening. Thanks so much to all for sharing!

  2. Cadaver lab

  3. Cadaver lab

    lovingpecola replied to nursetim's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm in an A&P class with a cadaver lab right now. It isn't a good fit for me (which I already knew because I tried to take a course like a few years ago) so I no longer go the labs. I made it...

  4. Experience to Enter CNM Program

    lovingpecola replied to MUOStudentNurse's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Nizhoni, thanks for your post!!! I always wondered how similar the programs were (I'm in grad-entry CNM). And your last comments are right on point! I always wonder (when people say we need nursing...

  5. Experience to Enter CNM Program

    lovingpecola replied to MUOStudentNurse's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I really wish there were some statistics on this. It only makes sense to have the data on how the two groups are doing in comparison to each other! I really think this will end up being something I...

  6. Can an average nursing student make it in Grad School?

    lovingpecola replied to rll28's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I know you were asking this question to people who are already NPs, but I thought I could offer you some encouragement! I am in a graduate nursing program and I have an unrelated degree. It is...

  7. Distance MSN CNM Schools

    lovingpecola replied to lauritasol's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    The CNM I was shadowing in Nebraska before coming to CT tried to sell me on Frontier and on doing my clinicals with her, she said it was a great program! If I were interested in distance, I...

  9. I'm IN!!!

    lovingpecola replied to babynurse2001's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Congratulations!!!!!

  10. Pursuing the PhD sooner rather than later

    lovingpecola replied to dianacs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You can also consider going part time and working part time. The push to get us to go straight through is strong at my institution. This is good for some, who know exactly what they want to do, and...

  11. Direct Entry Midwifery Programs...

    lovingpecola replied to LAW79's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am in the Yale midwifery program, and I just wanted to say ask a few more people before you make your decision. It definitely isn't for everybody, but it did turn out to be right for me. And, I...

  12. Accepted Columbia University's ETP student-meet-n-greet

    lovingpecola replied to nycacoustic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yep, I'm here, and I love the school. Med Surg is another story. We had our first test today. Blah. I must admit I'm not liking clinical yet. People tell me it gets better though. I sure hope so....

  13. Accepted Columbia University's ETP student-meet-n-greet

    lovingpecola replied to nycacoustic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hmmm. I'm sorry, but someone just quoted me in a response...and then it was reiterated that this was a forum for accepted ETP people...just in case someone got confused...I AM/WAS an accepted student...

  14. what are my chances of getting in accelerated program for MSN?

    lovingpecola replied to sherlee's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think *fit* is what's important. Contrary to popular belief, even the "ivory towers" are filled with people from diverse economic backgrounds! You can come from a disadvantaged economic background...

  15. "MEDwife"

    lovingpecola posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I keep hearing this term thrown around, usually negatively, and I am starting to feel like it is an insult, especially from other non-nurse midwives. Does anyone have any info about this term? Does...

  16. "MEDwife"

    lovingpecola replied to lovingpecola's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks CEG! I will check it out! I am stressed out from packing for the big move next week! (Nursing school here I come, woohoo!) I swear moving must be on the list top ten most stressful life...

  17. "MEDwife"

    lovingpecola replied to lovingpecola's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks for the input everyone! I will definitely check out MANA as I had never heard of it before! Madwife - I'd love to hear some stories! I love birth stories told from the midwife point of view!...

  18. "MEDwife"

    lovingpecola replied to lovingpecola's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Ha! Did you blog your experiences? I'm looking for more CNM

  19. "MEDwife"

    lovingpecola replied to lovingpecola's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks a bunch for this! It's obvious after reading his bio that he didn't intend for it to be an insult, but some folks are definitely using it that way. It's good to be armed with the knowledge of...

  20. "MEDwife"

    lovingpecola replied to lovingpecola's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Oh ok! Who coined this term? How does this term fit CNMs who do homebirths or birth center

  21. Difference Between WHNP & CNM?

    lovingpecola replied to CDianeH88's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    In *general* CNMs catch babies, and WHNP do not. But, I have heard that some WHNP do deliver babies in very rural hospitals in the emergency room if necessary...but I wouldn't count on that. YES,...

  22. what are my chances?

    lovingpecola replied to EffinP_Meg's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My numerical stats were the same as yours, and I got into every school I applied to, so don't be discouraged! But I will say that you should think carefully about whether or not you really want to do...

  23. Info on direct entry w/MSN + BSN?

    lovingpecola replied to Myethpio's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Columbia DOES offer the BSN before MSN. Yale does NOT offer the BSN before MSN. Vanderbilt does

  24. BSN-PHD program?

    lovingpecola replied to hawaiianflowers21's topic in Research

    Great advice, as usual. I will also pursue a Phd in Nursing. Ilg, do you think that working part time as a nurse while in school (for the next 7-8 years) provides *enough* clinical experience, or...

  25. How to prepare for GRE?????

    lovingpecola replied to tinderbox's topic in Post Graduate Students

    About three months for me as well (June - August of last summer). I agree with other posters, free websites, check out prep books from local library (or university library). I also used the dvds that...
