  1. Bryant & Stratton College

    Bree124 replied to scherie88's topic in General Nursing

    I would personally not attend Bryant and Stratton. I looked into it as an option, but found out from outside sources that their NCLEX pass rate is barely over 50% - although the people who run the...

  2. Marquette - Direct Entry Master's??

    Bree124 replied to blueelle's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I sent you a

  3. HELP! Will this school be ok??

    Bree124 replied to hope2rn's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do it, personally. Many things can affect accreditation status, not just NCLEX pass rate. If the school doesn't end up getting accredited, this could have serious ramifications not only...

  4. Teas Testing

    Bree124 replied to fefe03's topic in General Nursing

    Yes - will probably start out in med surg, but will be getting my masters and doing midwifery. Do you have an area that you are interested

    Bree124 replied to fefe03's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, but I will be in

  6. Teas Testing

    Bree124 replied to fefe03's topic in General Nursing

    I posted this almost a year ago, right after taking it - I had forgotten about this website, but it was very helpful in figuring out what to study! ""Re: Teas Test I just got home from taking the...

  7. Teas Testing

    Bree124 replied to fefe03's topic in General Nursing

    I found out that I needed to take it, and then took it two weeks later or so - it's not that hard, you'll be fine! This is stuff you learned in high school. My only recommendation is if you've been...

  8. Marquette - Direct Entry Master's??

    Bree124 replied to blueelle's topic in General Nursing

    I am in it! What questions do you

  9. Any CNMs with families/small kids?

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

    BTW, I am laughing at your screen name - I get called that all of the

  10. Any CNMs with families/small kids?

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

    Yes, this is so true! Good luck! I am sure you'll do well. You already know what it's like to be a mom in school. The courses are obviously different, but I think in many ways, this could be easier...

  11. Any CNMs with families/small kids?

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

    Hi Ellen - I am in a grad program, and will be starting the CNM portion in August. My kids are 7, twins who are 4, and 3. Some of my classmates act like I am crazy, but so far it has been...

  12. Discouraging post...opinions?

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

    Could you tell me what area of the country this CNM is

  13. Grilling from a newb

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

    I doubt that anyone was put off by it - this area is a little bit slower than some of the others, hopefully you'll get a few responses when people have time! I am just in school, or I would fill it...

  14. Indian Mascots

    Bree124 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Our main football rival made t-shirts of our mascot (a Sioux Indian) performing indecent acts on their school mascot (a bison). They were told they had to turn them inside out, but many refused and...

  15. strange question from a newbie

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

    Yes, that does sound more realistic given your situation. There are some really great ADN programs out there - one of our local community colleges has the highest NCLEX pass rate in the state. Over...

  16. strange question from a newbie

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

    I have nothing at all against ADN nursing (this is the route I almost took), but if you absolutely know that you're going into nursing to become a midwife, it adds years of school for no real...

  17. strange question from a newbie

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

    Jennifer - yes, I applied to nursing school with the sole goal of becoming a midwife. However, I will be done with my RN in August, and I am really looking forward to working as a bedside nurse for a...

  18. So many applying for nursing school

    Bree124 replied to volleygyrl's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it is also a lack of instructors. Most nurses take a significant pay cut to go from bedside nurse to nursing instructor, which obviously doesn't make the job financially appealing......

  19. Gender descriptions in my MSN text

    Bree124 replied to nursesail's topic in General Nursing

    My first degree is in communication, and as a former journalist I am well aware of the limitations of the English language. And Heron - I wrote several articles about the GLBT group in our town. Yes,...

  20. Direct entry CRNA programs

    Bree124 replied to love-d-OR's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hmm... I thought "direct entry" was the general term for accelerated programs for people who have a non-nursing degree. In this type of program, they receive a BS(N) then an MS(N). Even though they...

  21. Indian Mascots

    Bree124 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I attended college at a state university with an Indian mascot. I was an editor of the school newspaper, and we worked hard the entire time I was there to keep this issue in the limelight, and...

  22. A typical day

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

    Thank you!! What area of the country do you work in? Do you think there is going to be an increase in demand for CNMs? Was it difficult for you to find a job when you

  23. Gender descriptions in my MSN text

    Bree124 replied to nursesail's topic in General Nursing

    Some texts have a notation in the front that for the sake of ease and consistency, "he" or "she" is the noun/pronoun used throughout the book, but that the use refers to either males or females and...

  24. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    Bree124 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would call the financial aid office and ask. I started a DE program last summer, and we had to do an 07-08 FAFSA for the summer term, and 08-09 FAFSA for the fall/spring

  25. Can Aides Pass Meds?

    Bree124 replied to PiperLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it has a lot less to do with a nursing shortage, and a lot more to do with facilities looking to make more profit by hiring someone else to do the job for less than half the cost. Is it safe?...
