  1. Mini Rant about Unruly Kids

    *Bethany* replied to nnicolee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a mother, a student, and a person who uses common sense, I would never bring my expensive text books to a place such as the pool. It's a pool. Expect your belongings to get wet.

  2. Biology and Chemistry too much in same semester?

    *Bethany* posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    *Bethany* posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 25, am happily married and have 3 children, ages 5, 3, and 1. In high school I did really well and graduated in the top 10% of my class. I was usually in honors classes. Well, I just took a look...

    *Bethany* replied to BreatheFree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I'm in my second semester of pre-reqs, but it's going really slowly because I'm only taking 2 classes at a time. I have a 6,4, and 2 yr old. Good luck, and you can pm me if you want my AIM...

    *Bethany* posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. How did you decide on what type of nurse you wanted to be?

    *Bethany* replied to CaringForLind's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I want to be an L&D nurse so that I can gain experience for one day becoming a CNM. Anything mother/baby or NICU would work too. I came to this decision after the lovely homebirth of my son...

  18. Home Births w/o CNM or doctor-

    *Bethany* replied to SueBee RN-BSN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Unassisted Childbirth, also known as UC, is not as "awful or dangerous" as it sounds. I'm sure many people have the misconception that UC is the equivalent of a teenage girl giving birth in the...

  19. Can I do this???

    *Bethany* posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I want to become a CNM. I realize it's a very long road ahead of me. I believe strongly in natural birth and I get really upset watching shows like Birth Day or A Baby Story when the birth...

  20. Another question about working in a hospital

    *Bethany* posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm wondering if you get to choose where you want to work in the hospital when you apply, or if you're just assigned to wherever they want you to be. On that note, are you always in the same place or...

  21. Doula vs midwife

    *Bethany* replied to stillpressingon's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly what the previous poster said. A doula does not perform any medical care whatsoever. She is there for emotional support, education, and offering comfort measures. I've once heard that when...

    *Bethany* replied to DeeDee143's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  24. Going back to school and I feel DUMB!

    *Bethany* replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's so comforting to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way! I took my math placement test and I did pretty bad. I was placed in elementary algebra. Which is good I guess because I'd rather...

  25. Can I do this???

    *Bethany* replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM
