  2. Is Doula/CBE experiance an advantage or frowned upon when pursueing OB/GYN nursing?

    SiennaGreen replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "My worry about being frowned upon...I guess I just have this dread that most nurses and managers don't appreciate birth and the process like I do (I know, it's judgement.) and would really prefer...

    SiennaGreen replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Again..intent is lost electronically. These are conversations that should be held between real people who know eachother somewhat. I am absolutely certain that many people understand the intent of...

    SiennaGreen replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hearts Open Wide - Thanks for the input! I won't be doing any additional Doula work b/c of school/life/kids...it's enough. I was planning on putting in the application, networking, and generally...

  6. Any Arundel Comm. College Students here?

    SiennaGreen replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    They do NOT have a waiting list. Admission is based upon GPA of the pre req's for the program. Go to an info session, and they will tell you exactly what those are and where the GPA cut off is...

  7. Any Arundel Comm. College Students here?

    SiennaGreen replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    No way! You're not a nerd! I start Tuesday in OB and can't wait. The energy will serve you well. Take advantage of it and do the best you can early on. Much better to stack the cards in your...

  8. Any Arundel Comm. College Students here?

    SiennaGreen replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Best of luck to you all! I think it's cool that they are offering 121/122 hybrid. I loved Prof Fox who taught 122, so attending her class was a joy. The hybrid format will be interesting. You may...

  9. Most important, commonly used meds in real world?

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm a student heading into her med-surg rotation and wanted to get a head start on memorizing common meds. If I could get suggestions for the meds you see every day, or maybe less common but critical...

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in General Students

  11. ENG 102 or Human Growth Development (Psyc)??

    SiennaGreen replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Some things to consider. Are these classes online? The 102 will be very time intensive, but not overly difficult. If you have more free time, than background in Human Development, go for the 102....

    Welcome! I've lived in Annapolis for 15 years, but just began NS :) I have been in and around AAMC for various things over th eyear and loved it. Will you be at the hospital or the outpatient...

  13. Silly question--what to wear for class

    SiennaGreen replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    I might add that taking the time to get dressed, put on some makeup, and generally look more put together helps me to feel more put together. I also want to leave a good impression on my professors....

  14. Current ACNM news

    SiennaGreen replied to AOX4RN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm so conflicted re: this myself. I initially began this journey desiring to pursue CPM because philosophically, I felt so much more in line with CPM training. I think our bodies are not defective,...

  15. CNL 16 month program with children

    SiennaGreen replied to Blondell's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Again, I can't speak to CNL, but I am doing a regular program w/ three young ones 2,5,8. It is way time consuming to do well. My grades are very important because I want to move on to grad school...

  16. Ever heard of Central Scholarship Bureau?

    SiennaGreen replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I decided against it, in the end. I had all the paperwork together, and just didn't feel right sending off all the personal information they requested. I might regret it a bit, because my...

  17. Ever heard of Central Scholarship Bureau?

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    They are located in Reistertown. I know they have been around for a long time as a scholarship coordinator (I suppose that's the term) but they require A LOT of personal info in their...

  18. Anyone have experiance with the "portfolio" admissions process at Frontier?

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm torn between continuing on w/an RN to BSN bridge locally next year, or utilizing the portfolio assessment model through Frontier. I currently hold a BS from PSU in Health Education. I did not...

  19. Baltimore hospitals w/tuition reimbursement for RN-BSN/MSN?

    SiennaGreen replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks ladies. I have read JHU and UMD web sites, but what they don't really discuss (in any detail) is a service period associated with. I know JHU has one which is something like if they reimburse...

  20. Got AACC acceptance today!

    SiennaGreen replied to ga2md2brn's topic in Maryland Nursing

    If you haven't gotten your Palm yet, keep an eye on the Palm Inc. web site. When I bought mine, they had a promo (and I have seen it since) which was $100 off any order over $300. Great deal! Also,...

  21. AACC-when are classes and clinicals?

    SiennaGreen replied to harborview's topic in Maryland Nursing

  22. Scholarships cut due to finances...bummer.

    SiennaGreen posted a topic in General Students

    I just found out that my scholarships were reduced for the coming year due to inadequate funds available. My GPA actually has gone up, but donations are down to my school. I was hoping to atleast...

  23. Are All Distance Programs Created Equal?

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

    Haven't done it yet, but am a fan of Frontier in philosophy; I still have to say a less expensive, geographically closer school would be in the running. $100 a credit adds up to a few thousand...

  25. Are second career nurses promoted faster

    SiennaGreen replied to lwndrgn's topic in Nursing Career

    I might suggest that most folks who are leaving another, established position to pursue a new career-whatever that may be- will often have a clearer, more focused view of what they are pursueing. It...
