   Hello everyone! I am an RN from Jacksonville, FL. I graduated in December of 2007 and have been working since February. I have decided to move to New Orleans in the next couple of months. I have an...

3. OB tech and doula training

   naturalcuriosity replied to cel122's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I don't agree. Being a doula means knowing about the process of birth and is all about communication with child-bearing women. I don't see how improving your communication skills and knowledge would...

4. OB tech and doula training

   naturalcuriosity replied to cel122's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I think that anyone wanting to work in OB should have doula training. I got a job interview in OB and was the top candidate out of 30 others specifically because of my doula training. Good

5. FCCJ Application......

   naturalcuriosity replied to sbc8201's topic in Male Nursing Students

   I am in 3rd term now. I would say that classes are more intense because it is Pediatrics and OB (8 weeks each) where everything is taught very quickly, but not necessarily more difficult. I personally...

   Definitely NOT too old to start! I am in nursing school now and there are quite a few people (probably 30% of the people in the program where I am) that are over 40. I am sure many others here can...

7. Nurses: Who came from a dysfuntional family?

   naturalcuriosity replied to kstec's topic in General Nursing

9. FCCJ Application......

   naturalcuriosity replied to sbc8201's topic in Male Nursing Students

   Mine was the same semester you were applying for (Fall Term) and they said the same thing. 6-8 weeks from June 1st. I got my letter on July 7th, so it was really 5 weeks! Keep holding on! I know it is...

10. FCCJ Application......

    naturalcuriosity replied to sbc8201's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I disagree about the study thing. I bought the ARCO book also and I felt it really helped me. It will also get you prepared for the types of questions that you will be asked in nursing school and help...

    naturalcuriosity replied to whiskeygirl's topic in General Nursing

    A friends daughter (5 years old) took a couple beads off of a decorated pillow and stuck them up her nose. She got one of them out. The other was stuck so high it was whistiling when she would...

14. Myers-Briggs Type

    naturalcuriosity replied to piscesguy's topic in General Nursing

    I am an INFJ. Very intuitive. I think this will be a good thing for a nurse to have lots of. (I am a nursing student,

    naturalcuriosity replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a birth doula, I have seen these types of couples as well. The people with the "plan" (The ones who usually have the day care picked out already as well...) are usually the type that basically...
