  1. ATI Predictor Test Score in relation to Pass/Fail NCLEX

    Bree124 replied to Clever User Name's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hmm. Must be a different predictor exam, as I went back and looked, and the score breakdown for the ATI predictor taken at our school is what I typed previously. Back to the topic of the thread, I...

  2. How can I strengthen my application to Nurse Midwifery school?

    Bree124 replied to cjmaxwell's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think your qualifications sound great - there is a peds nurse in my midwifery program, and she didn't have any trouble getting accepted (nor does she plan to find an L&D job before graduation,...

  3. ATI Predictor Test Score in relation to Pass/Fail NCLEX

    Bree124 replied to Clever User Name's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It sounds as though you may be speaking about their practice tests, not the predictor exam. Did you take the exam administered at your school or through ATI that is 180 questions, 3 hours? I copied...

  4. LPN....I'm still a nurse, right??

    Bree124 replied to kkluczynski's topic in General Nursing

    Don't ever say that! You're not "just" an LPN. You're an LPN! You worked hard for it, you have a special skill set, and an LPN isn't just some half-way point to being an RN. It's a unique position...

  5. No jobs in OB nursing!!

    Bree124 replied to what2donow's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    The CNM school I attend prefers L&D experience, but if you don't have it and you're a good candidate, you're not going to get turned away. They do require you to take an internship-type clinical...

  6. Moms who have made it through nursing school!

    Bree124 replied to hopefulabby's topic in General Nursing

    I have four kids under 8, and am two weeks from finishing an accelerated RN program (15 months, 63 credits). You can do

  7. ATI Predictor Test Score in relation to Pass/Fail NCLEX

    Bree124 replied to Clever User Name's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know this is old, so I don't know if my reply will help, but per ATI these are the correlating scores to percentiles: % correct on ATI / % Chance of passing NCLEX on first try 82-100% / 99...

  8. Where do I begin to become a CNM?

    Bree124 replied to nancydrew77's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I was in your shoes, and chose a direct entry masters program. This type of program is geared towards second degree students who want to be advanced practice nurses. Each program is slightly...

  9. help with a cheater please!!!!

    Bree124 replied to hollyandsky's topic in General Nursing

    Don't apologize, this person is just trying to be snarky. Obviously punctuation is not part of a CNA course, and he/she is just trying to make him/herself feel better by putting another person down....

  10. Concerns about becoming a CNM

    Bree124 replied to Snappz11's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi - I am only a student, so I have to admit I do share some of your concerns. I think everyone I know is worried about finding jobs, no matter what field they are going into! Our program directors...

  11. Scared of being an RN in a hospital but need the experience

    Bree124 replied to wannabmidwife's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am also a mom of four, and last year I started a bridge program for non-nursing college graduates to get an MSN. The time and schooling is intense, but so far I really do love it - I am learning...

  12. Future for specializing in infertility and IVF?

    Bree124 replied to caitiecait's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think this is a great topic, and a great discussion. I didn't see flames anywhere. We were just discussing the topic of ART in Ethics this week, and I found some of the statistics really...

  13. Marquette - Direct Entry Master's??

    Bree124 replied to blueelle's topic in General Nursing

    Oops, sorry - didn't see this until now. Financial aid should cover tuition and living expenses, unfortunately this is in the form of loans. Very minimal scholarship opportunities, at least for the...

  14. i failed second semeter RN SCHOOL, i'm not sure what to do now? accounting? business?

    Bree124 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    Can you see your advisor about this? I think a really important thing to do is analyze why you failed. A person who studies all day, every hour should NOT fail nursing school. There is something...

  15. Bryant & Stratton College

    Bree124 replied to scherie88's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Intuition - no need to apologize, I am not upset! I know that nursing school is enough work without having to worry about the reputation of your program, or how it is perceived by others. I am...

  16. Bryant & Stratton College

    Bree124 replied to scherie88's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Intuition - My post was not based on "rumored statistics." I have a document from the state of WI with NCLEX pass rates of every college/university in Wisconsin for years 2005-2007. While you...

  17. CNM or OB/GYN

    Bree124 replied to ezxoxo322's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi Emily, I think it ultimately comes down to what you envision yourself doing in life. Midwives are able to get to know their patients very well, spend time with them during appointments, and...

  18. I want to become a nurse midwife

    Bree124 replied to Like2bFrisky's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi revamp - I emailed

  19. CNM and FNP certification/degrees

    Bree124 replied to K-ron Marsalvo's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi, I actually think it would probably be the least useful in an urban setting. There are many, many areas in this country where healthcare isn't available unless you go 100 miles away. We are...

  20. Nurses/Students: How often do you cry?

    Bree124 replied to ToxicShock's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm... I guess I disagree with that statement. Many people don't choose to cry, and aren't doing it to get sympathy or have someone take notice. It's true that no one can forcefully pull tears from...

  21. Any CNMs with families/small kids?

    Bree124 replied to fertile_myrtle's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yes, that is a big question for me as well! My children will be 10, 7 & 7, and 6 when I graduate. My husband will most likely own his own business at the time, and I am concerned about...

  22. Direct-entry CNM programs

    Bree124 replied to smallwonders07's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Many of the CNMs I know of provide gyn and well-woman care, as well as pregnancy care. Most of the job descriptions I have seen require women's health duties, not just seeing pregnant patients and...

  23. The end of C-diff testing??

    Bree124 replied to medpsychRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would think it is a problem, unless your facility doesn't use waterless soap at all. Our c-diff patients have the hand washing magnets on their doors, and I KNOW that most nurses don't wash with...

  24. Do you experience jealousy from friends/family members?

    Bree124 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Nope - most of my friends and family have college degrees. I agree with what was stated before, being jealous of a nursing degree might reflect on some deeper issues in the

    Bree124 replied to areawoman's topic in General Nursing

    You might try posting this over in the grad student forum as well to see if you get a response.
