  3. No Maternity (or peds) rotations in my school

    Sarah LnDHopes posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi all, I just found out that we won't be doing a maternity/ob rotation at all during our 4 semesters of clinicals. I'm pretty disappointed about this, as I ultimately feel L&D is where I would...

  4. No Maternity (or peds) rotations in my school

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How did you know we arent doing psych? Did I mention it or are you just familiar with our school? Actually I'm disappointed about that too (although less so, admittedly)...I want a chance to learn...

  5. No Maternity (or peds) rotations in my school

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    BSNinTx, I see your point. I think high 80's is decent..not great but still decent. Actually, I looked it up 2006 was 81% and 2005 was 88%, which was actually better than UPenn's 2005 rate. Just a...

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Ob/Gyn

  7. No Maternity (or peds) rotations in my school

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. Frustrated in Philly - CCP past Grads advice welcome

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to David's Harp's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Definitely noted...thanks for the post. I wonder if having a BA in another field matters at all? My guess is no... I actually was feeling like this might be the case when deciding between ADN and...

  9. What is a "titer result"?

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A titer is a blood draw where they test to see if you have antibodies at a certain level to determine immunity. So if you received an MMR shot, and you had chicken pox, your titers most likely would...

  10. CCP fall schedule?

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to springgarden's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi, I know I'm just starting in the fall like you are, but I've already registered. Here are the schedule options: Lecture: Mon 8-10 and Tue 8-9 Clinicals: Thur 7-1pm and Fri 7-1pm (but maybe...

  12. Child Abuse Clearances

    Sarah LnDHopes posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Filling out this form now to send off to Harrisburg...am I really expected to know my addresses since 1975? I wasn't even born until '80! I don't know where I lived when I was 2! Sorry if this is a...

  13. Child Abuse Clearances

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Really? I had several out of state residences, and it was under 2 weeks to get the results. I guess it just depends on who opens the mail that day, and how long it sits on someone's

  14. Child Abuse Clearances

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I just followed the instructions that my school provided me with, and completed the forms they provided. I wouldn't want to take the chance that for some reason what was provided online would not be...

  15. Child Abuse Clearances

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yup I mailed both (child abuse and criminal record check) via regular mail on Friday April 6th, and received both results on Monday April 16th. But it could have come as early as the 12, 13th, or...

  17. Child Abuse Clearances

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The clearance is required before starting clinicals for school. The check is done by the Child Abuse Registry/Department of Public

  19. Child Abuse Clearances

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks for the replies, I just put everything I could remember. It didn't actually ask for dates to go with the addresses, so I didn't really explain gaps...well not gaps really, I just don't...

  20. Any CCP 2007 People?

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to librarynerd's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Congrats!! I knew you would! Yea, I would definitely call. I got 2 letters; the first with the card to pay the deposit came from the admissions office, not the nursing dept. The second letter...

  21. Why all the rag on technology in L&D??

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to deann52's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'd just like to add that it works the other way too...it also happens that women are made to feel silly or marginalized for wanting to go natural. Not just from doctors or nurses, but family and...

  22. Any CCP 2007 People?

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to librarynerd's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Anyone have experience with taking an AP exam in high school and getting credit from a Community college for your score? My situation is that I took AP English exam in high school ('98, so not 10...

  25. Microbiology before A & P I & II

    Sarah LnDHopes replied to hays2001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Micro before I took A&P I (haven't taken A&P II yet). I don't believe taking A&P first would have helped me any more in micro, nor do I believe I had an advantage by taking micro...
