    SiennaGreen replied to mdmomrn's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Sorry. The BSN is the one with the 800 to 80 ratio..however I was led to believe that the CNL is more competitive. I'm not sure that I believe it though. Some of it seems like bluster...which is...

    SiennaGreen replied to imp0526's topic in Maryland Nursing

    SiennaGreen replied to aiming's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hopkins is fantastic if you would like to return to school. They will reimburse you 10k a year toward school if you are working FT. I think it is 15K a yr if you are attending JHU SON. Plus, the...

    SiennaGreen replied to mrslmj's topic in General Nursing

  10. U of MD CNM program deactivated?!?

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    AAACCK! I just saw on the web site that U of MD has "deactivated' their CNM program as of Fall 2007. Does anyone have any information on what that means? I don't think they were on probation. I...

    SiennaGreen replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Maryland Nursing

  12. JHU Open House

    SiennaGreen replied to curlysue82's topic in Maryland Nursing

    SiennaGreen replied to ad0rkable287's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I keep hearing about how difficult it is to get a new grad position in Maine/NH/VT though. Do you find that to be the case? It might be cheap to live there, but if you can't find employment..that...

  16. I need help finding a good school on the east coast!

  18. Did anyone have Intro Chem over 10+ yrs ago???

    SiennaGreen replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No! I'm completely with you. My HS Chem class was almost 20 years ago and I feel somewhat intimidated. I'm sure it will be fine because I know I am teachable but I will definitely be utilizing the...

  19. Are accelerated programs fair?

    SiennaGreen replied to caro3334's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who is swimming through the Nursing School options now, I can say that often times programs look like they may be faster, streamlined, less credits; but when you get down to the details,...

  20. Best Doula programs?

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

    just my two cents. ALACE is awesome for flexibility both in training and in how they teach you to interact w/clients-rather than being stuck promoting only one method, et cet. They don't have the...

  24. Bradley method?

    SiennaGreen replied to mer_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Part of the difference is that birth is not seen as a medical emergency by many women. It is a natural process which has been happening unheeded MOST of the time for all of history. This might be one...
