  1. Care Plan for nursing diagnosis: Impaired Skin Integrity

    SiennaGreen replied to wesmom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is fascinating! I feel as if I am working on my Care Plan presentation for the same exact patient. One of my top 3 diagnosis (but not #1) is related to her leaking ostomies (ileostomy &...

  2. Any new grads starting at AAMC ER?

    SiennaGreen replied to LyndseyER's topic in Maryland Nursing

    i hate it when people talk in acronyms also..sorry about that! AAMC = Anne Arundel Medical Center, Annapolis, MD ER= Emergency Room...of course I bet you could figure that one out,

  3. Can CNMs in Utah attend homebirths?

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

    First, I would suggest going to the ACNM (American College of Nurse Midwives) web site. They have links that will take you to the information you seek re: CNM legalities in each state. You may want...

  4. Any new grads starting at AAMC ER?

    SiennaGreen replied to LyndseyER's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Jealous! One of my professors works weekend charge nurse there and she is really wonderfull and a great character. I hear the ER is a really good place to be in AAMC. For what it's worth, I met one of...

  5. Stevenson University?

    SiennaGreen replied to terps97's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I respectfully disagree about pass rates and their relationship to your nursing education. Now, let's caveat by saying we all know nursing schools teach to the NCLEX. Sometimes it might seem too...

  6. Has anyone gone with HRSA??

    SiennaGreen replied to frustratedprenurse's topic in General Students

    Be careful not to assume that you will receive this grant/contract. I have known many, many people who have applied and very few who have received it. I hope someone else can speak to this better,...

  7. From Philly

    SiennaGreen replied to shanika1m1's topic in Maryland Nursing

    You have many options available to you. Let's imagine Baltimore city as the center of the clock face. Do you want to live at 12:00? or 3:00? or 6:00? or 9:00? you have options either way. Any of...

  8. UK Midwife moving to US seeks advice!! Please help

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

    Unless, ofcourse I went a direct entry Masters route...but those programs aren't numerous and they are difficult to gain entry. (Penn in Philadelphia,...

  9. UK Midwife moving to US seeks advice!! Please help

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

    I would suggest getting that answer, IMO in writing, from the schools you are interested in attending for CNM. I'm not sure how your degree will transfer, et cet. I know if you are starting from...

  10. Stevenson University?

    SiennaGreen replied to terps97's topic in Maryland Nursing

    They might let you defer. They might not-as a matter of putting pressure on you to accept. Who knows what their admissions office looks like in this economy. Either way, consider this; you wouldn't...

  11. Stevenson University?

    SiennaGreen replied to terps97's topic in Maryland Nursing

    My two cents-I wouldn't pay that kind of money for SU, not if you had a chance to begin at UMB the next semester. I was in a similar situation. I applied UMB and my local CC. I got in to both and...

  12. Loan Repayment Program and Hospitals

    SiennaGreen replied to caribbeanbeauty's topic in Maryland Nursing

    As you know, this is not a great time to bein your position. I'm sorry. Last I heard Maryland General in Baltimore was still offering a sign bonus/tuition reimbursement package. I think it was 10k...

  13. UK Midwife moving to US seeks advice!! Please help

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

    Also- did I understand that your husband will be working at Shenandoah? If so, there may be a significant cost savings in the form of a tuition reduction for spouses of employees. BTW-Frontier is a...

  14. UK Midwife moving to US seeks advice!! Please help

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

    Belinda-Wales seems to have the best adbice and most similar position. I will second the home birth being different than in UK. If it were me and we were going to be making our home here, I would go...

  15. Second degree accelerated BSN programs in the area

    SiennaGreen replied to heathert_kc's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I would suggest that you balance your (his?) future career goals with the cost (both financial and time) of the local second degree programs. Is the goal to become a CNL? Is the BSN the goal? I was...

  16. Students with children

    SiennaGreen replied to Jennifer7076's topic in General Students

    Lots of great suggestions! I am in my first term with a 2,5, and 8 yr old. DH is flexible, so that's nice, but honestly...it's still difficult. I concur with the poster who said have back up plans...

  17. Nursing school near md

    SiennaGreen replied to leticia217's topic in Maryland Nursing

    That was my opinion also. I'm doing an RN program w/similar pre req's and it will cost me less than 6K. (tuition) It seems like a lot of money for an ADN, but I guess if you are faced with a wait...

  18. I need help deciding between midwife or FNP!!

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

    Can I ask a what might be a dumb question of the Frontier students? Do you choose from a list of preceptors in your area? Or are you solely responsble for finding your own preceptor/site? How many...

  19. made a mistake, might get fired- thoughts/advice?

    SiennaGreen replied to xariel's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow...I'm surprised at how sharp folks are with students. I hope that some of the students maintain their high standards and are not discouraged. Sure, look it up. I'm a student

  20. Thinking of moving to the baltimore area

    SiennaGreen replied to ***Blessed***'s topic in Maryland Nursing

    Typically, it sounds like it has been pretty strong. However, I have heard recent rumbling (search this forum) in regard to some having difficulty finding a new grad position. My guess is that it is...

  21. Native American Reservation nursing

    SiennaGreen replied to texascowgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm interested in where you are working currently with your family. I would love to do a rotation or maybe work permanently on a reservation or for IHS; but have serious concerns about how my family...

  22. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

    SiennaGreen replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

    OK, so I'm not even reading all the previous replies. Forgive me if this has been stated but... Having a few beers isn't illegal. While I believe drinking maybe more determimental than smoking pot,...

  23. Hospitals that pay for school

    SiennaGreen replied to Unique87's topic in Maryland Nursing

    This is a difficult call. There are few schools that will pay up front-without you working for them during school. I know several students with me currently, who are attempting to work and do school...

  24. Attention new grads may 2009

    SiennaGreen replied to hppygoluky985's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm shocked that UMMS is NOT hiring new grads. Any unit? Just UMMC? What about other sites, i.e. MD Gen, BWMC, et cet? That would be really

  25. Best place in US to be an RN?

    SiennaGreen replied to solneeshka's topic in General Nursing

    Is this limited to the West? Personally, I don't think there is enough money to convince me to move my family to Texas. I simply can't stand the heat & humidity. I hate the A/C too...it gives me a...
