  1. "We hire in house first" Is it always the case?

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    So, what if the inhouse tech or candidate(s) are not as solid of a candidate, do they really still hire them? How does one get around this policy? (If possible) I just want to get myself an...

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am just begining NS but am able to swing a good stethoscope up front. I am thinking it is between the Cardiology lll and the Master Classic ll. The Cardiiology has a double lumen and the MC ll has...

  3. are there any cert. that i can get to boost my chances for a L&D job??

    SiennaGreen replied to EILEEN456's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am graduating in December and have taken both NRP and ACLS-OB and been certified in both prior to graduation. I am hopeful that it will help me to get into women's services. Either way, I found...

  4. Fnp/cnm

    SiennaGreen replied to UNC_nurseL&D's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    For me, I think it depends on the arena you intend to practice Midwifery in. I have friends who work in hospitals, and have a set schedule. They have very young children, one just had a baby and is...

  5. Has anyone gone through University of Maryland RN-BSN program?

    SiennaGreen replied to FutureNurse82's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I would be very interested in this also. I am interested in this bridge, online preferable; and was told by a colleague that there are no 'tests', only papers. Wondering if that's

  6. Good units for Pre CNM exp. - not L&D

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  7. Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) Nursing

    SiennaGreen replied to luvly189's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hmmm...I don't have it presently. It was the older version, of the required text for class. IMO, as long as it has thebasic info that you're going to need to look up. You're fine. Find out what is...

  8. Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) Nursing

    SiennaGreen replied to luvly189's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I didn't find Med Surg 2 as challenging as 1. Peds was more challenging simply due to the sheer volume of information and projects, paperwork, et cet. Many people found Peds to be quite challenging....

  9. ADN nurses with other BS degree

    SiennaGreen replied to njmomstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I was faced with a smilar decision 2 years ago. I will graduate in December from an excellent ADN program and hold a BS in Health Ed from my previous life. I went this route, like you, because of the...

  10. AACC

    SiennaGreen replied to nursingstudent221's topic in Maryland Nursing

    All true. Last semester, they had over 240 applicants for 72 slots. They are beginning to pffer many classes with an online option, but you still can't do it with a regular 9-5 gig. Some folks work...

    SiennaGreen replied to phelpscm's topic in Maryland Nursing

    If you've already got the offer- good for you! congrat's! Baltimore isn't terrible. You live in Chicago currently? not much different. You just have to go through the process of learning where to...

  12. Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) Nursing

    SiennaGreen replied to luvly189's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Also, class and clinical vary by semester. Our first semester was lecture 3-4 days a week and lab another day for the first half of the semester. 9-2 kind of stuff. Then the second half was lecture...

  13. Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) Nursing

    SiennaGreen replied to luvly189's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The GPA cut off varies semester to semester. I have heard anywhere from 3.7 to 3.0....depends on who you talk to. I'm 3rd semester and am really enjoying the program. It is pretty intense and...

  14. Is UPMC moving ALL of the L&D to Magee?

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    OK...so this might be a stupid question. I've been searching the other UPMC hospital sites and can't see anywhere OTHER than Magee that one can have a birth within the UMPC system (downtown). Really?...

  15. Is UPMC moving ALL of the L&D to Magee?

    SiennaGreen replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Wow! Thanks for info. That is amazing to me...and sad that Pittsburgh women basically have one choice. I suppose it is as much as many cities, but for Pittsburgh's size, I would expect more....

  16. RN/bachelors of science in midwifery to CNM?

    SiennaGreen replied to AshleyAnn123's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that in the US the BSM is a degree unto itself and puts one in line for a CPM designation. I think. If so, not sure how many of those credits may transfer toward a regular BSN...whichi s...

  17. Encouraging signs! Is job situation improving?

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    I receive emails from a couple sites, advertsing job openings. The past two weeks, I have received numerous emails with RN hirings at multiple hospitals locally. Seems like a new one every other day...

  18. BSN to MS-CNM

    SiennaGreen replied to *Andrea*'s topic in Nursing Career

    Chat in the CNM forum. Frontier School of Midwifery was an early pioneer in distance Midwifery education. They have a wonderful reputation, scores of graduates (for preceptors) around the country,...

  19. "Yinz"

    SiennaGreen replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Forget'a 'bout it! Professionals shouldn't use misplaced modifiers either, if we're to be grammatically correct in every conversation BUT we have regions and regional dialects and "Yinz" is...

  20. Diploma programs in Pittsburgh? Do they exist?

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I heard someone recently comment about the "large number of diploma programs still churning out new grads in Pittsburgh". Is this true? If so, what hospitals still run diploma programs and do they...

  21. RN to BSN online - mostly essays/papers?

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was told that generally most RN-BSN programs done on line are completely essays or research paper driven...no testing like we're used to in our RN program. Has this been your experiance? I am...

    SiennaGreen replied to MagnesiuM's topic in New York Nursing

    Magnesium - I'm wondering if you would share any further info you learned on the RN job market in Ithaca? Are the jobs available within 30 minutes drive? How is the child care situation? We're very...

  23. BSN or training certifications? More competitive/competent in L&D?

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am at a cross road. Do I plan to continue my BSN immediately after finishing my ADN, or work on various applicable certifications (NRP, ACLS-OB, Fetal Monitoring, et cet) to make me a better LDRP...

  24. Not sure how I'm going to survive

    SiennaGreen replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    I am guessing that the inquiry about tithing came with good intentions. People who believe in tithing don't look at it like sending money to a church, as much as giving back to God with a grateful...

  25. CNA License-MBON not responding

    SiennaGreen replied to Graceland200's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Also, when you get the forms DO NOT mail them back tobe processed. Definitely go to the CNA office and hand them in personally. They will give you temporary license so that you can work immediately....
