    harvestmoon replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I mainly did this to finance my schooling, but I took Phlebotomy classes and I've been working in a clinic as a lab assistant (lab and patient side as well as EKGs) for a year now. Makes the...

  3. Taking A &P I and II and microbiology

    harvestmoon replied to jessica6012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    FWIW, I took A&P 1 and Micro at the same time and got As in both. Micro was hit and miss - I was a high B for a good half of hte semester, but I hit an A witih the final exam. Since you've...

  4. Repeat Education?!

    harvestmoon replied to nursingstudent_12kp's topic in General Students

    actually telling someone to switch is EXACTLY what is "a place for anyone to say". If you don't want opinions, don't ask for them. If you only want people to tell you how wronged you were, you poor...

  9. Male CNMW?

    harvestmoon replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I can speak from the patient's POV; I have had 3 homebirths with two different DEMs. I would have had a very hard time considering a male. I want female energy around me while birthing, I want...

  10. Wow. Just wow. Ramblings and wonderings about DEM and CNM.

    harvestmoon posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I've had 3 homebirths; the last one was incredibly hands-off and I finally called to the assistant as the baby was crowning to catch her (water) as I couldn't do it myself and that was the only...

  12. Which state is the most supportive of nursing?

    harvestmoon posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I've read about CA's regulation of ratio caregiver to patient, but I wonder what else is out there. Are there some states that make it easier/more protected to work in

    harvestmoon posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I have always felt a pull to some kind of social service and have always wanted to "give back". When I realized the shortage of nurses and the decent pay I thought I might have found finally, my...

  15. What area of nursing would you like to go into???

    harvestmoon replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hospice, Oncology or L&D. Yup, one end of the spectrum to the other. Weird; those are the only that appeal to me. And I'd probably be chafing in L&D seeing as I had one hospital birth and 3...

  16. Is there one central site that lists nursing schools and waits?

    harvestmoon replied to harvestmoon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    thank you both so much! I'm already so discouraged, reading this forum and coming to the realization that nursing school is so incredibly hard to get

  17. Is there one central site that lists nursing schools and waits?

    harvestmoon posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm getting very concerned that by the time I get my pre-reqs out of the way I will have to wait years to get into nursing school. We can very easily re-locate, however, so I'm wondering if there is...
