    doulalove replied to studentmom2007's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm still waiting to hear about the grad entry midwifery program, too! Hopefully I'll see you on Feb. 5th or 6th! Good

  2. OHSU and other PDX area applicants for 2009

    doulalove replied to studentmom2007's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi! Just wanted to join in. I've applied to the ABM program (was an alternate for midwifery last year as well), ABS, and will be applying to OCNE. I debated whether or not to apply to PCC... I just...

  3. Contacting a Birth Center

    doulalove replied to kalley's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think you should definitely contact them. The only way to get experience is to put yourself out there! When I first decided that I wanted to be a midwife, I called all of the home birth midwives...

  4. Is it time?

    doulalove replied to kalley's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think you'll need to complete the prereqs whether or not you choose the RN or BSN track, so why not get started? You could start some of the less intense classes to get started and see if it feels...

  5. OB Rotation is Hell

    doulalove replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If you go back in the thread, some state specifically that they think it is sexist if a woman does not want a male nurse in the room when she's giving birth. I guess my concern isn't about how nursing...

  6. OB Rotation is Hell

    doulalove replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think it's interesting that some think it's sexist when a birthing woman asks a man to leave the room if she's uncomfortable. If you've put any effort in learning how a woman births best, you would...

  7. Any direct-entry OHSU applicants?

    doulalove replied to JenniferMPH's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thank you! Sounds like I should know soon... I'm more anxious for the process to be over rather than whether or not I got in. Of course I'd be so happy if I was accepted, but the not knowing is...

  8. Any direct-entry OHSU applicants?

    doulalove replied to JenniferMPH's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Still waiting to hear something post-interview! I'm getting a little frustrated. I'm assuming I didn't get in, but who knows... JenniferMPH, was there a date that you had to let them know your...

  9. Feel your biological clock ticking as you wait to get in?

    doulalove replied to CNAinNeb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh my goodness... I feel the same way! The urge to have children is such a powerful thing. I'll be 25 in a couple weeks, am happily married, and have a degree in another field. I've applied to an...

  10. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    doulalove replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for the encouraging words, rwbabycatcher :) I am also soooo happy to know that midwifery is one of the most popular specialties. We need LOTS more midwives in this world, and I'm sure that...

    Hi PurpleBee, Although I have provided free doula services, my work with low-income families that I was referring to is through different non-profit agencies as a social service provider. I'm in...

  12. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    doulalove replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi all, I also got a sad letter today; I applied for the midwifery specialty. Just a little about me... OK GRE scores (530 V, 640 A, 4 W); 3.6 undergrad GPA in sociology and social work; 4.0 in...

  13. Any direct-entry OHSU applicants?

    doulalove replied to JenniferMPH's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I also applied to the ABM CNM program. I don't think we should be expecting letters until January or so... At least that's the impression I got when I went to an info. session in September. Good...

  14. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    doulalove replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students
