Hello there, I have an interview with Doctors Without Borders in a few weeks and I am wondering if anyone has experience with this organization. What kind of questions do they ask? How long was the...
Absolutely. Most organizations won't even look at your resume if you don't have any experience and hospital experience is pretty much where it's at. MSF won't think about hiring you unless you have...
Hello Nursology, sorry for the long delay. I was in the field and just arrived home a few days ago. My experience with RN RN was excellent. They're very professional and helpful. It's a totally...
Hello Paulina, Sorry for the delayed response. I've been out of the country for the last 30 days with a different organization. I had a response about a week or so ago -- more like seven weeks after...
Hello, Thank you for your response. Were you accepted? Did you ever work for MSF? I think I have a pretty good handle on cultural sensitivity as I've lived and worked among several different cultures....
Hello, I'm a new grad nurse starting in the PACU in July and I'd like to prepare myself as much as possible. I did my last 8 weeks in school in the PACU so I'm familiar with many aspects of the care...
beanie29 I'm wondering about your statement "When I'm giving birth, I like to be with women who have birthed before." Does that mean you would be uncomfortable with me attending your birth? I'm a...
planet612 - for example the midwifery students take a field trip to Albany to speak with legislators there about midwifery practice in the state, etc. Doggie Dad - if you're going to Columbia this is...
Fiona - This is usually true but when I graduated (May 08) I can say that I honestly only know about one person who was hired directly to her integration site. Of course, I only know a limited number...
You are not allowed to work during the clinical portion of your midwifery education. This means that you can take a year working and taking the non-clinical classes but you must spend at least another...
If you're on top of your paperwork -- they give you a little town meeting about this in February or March -- then you can take your exam a little as a week after you graduate. I took mine two weeks...
I would just second the "don't take science classes online" bit. I took micro online and felt pretty far behind. Maybe that's because I'm not terribly motivated and I learn better in a classroom but...
poppete75, you're right about columbia being more focused on training nps (i can't say about the political part); but to be fair that is the school's focus. it's for people who know that they...
Poppete, This sounds really frustrating and I'm sorry you couldn't find a position in the city. However, I want to caution potential applications to not take one story as the experience everyone is...
I graduate mid-may and took the test early june, 17 days total. I passed in one try at 75 questions. At least two days in there were days so I didn't get much studying done...
Don't take study materials. The best thing you can do on the train is read a relaxing book or listen to some soothing music. Try to breathe deeply and RELAX. As a professor of mine said, "I never...
Hey guys - just wanted to update since I just found out my test results and I always want to know how things turned out for posters who were so worried after the NCLEX. Anyway, I passed ! I really...
