  1. Direct entry CRNA programs

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

    Columbia currently offers a DE CRNA program. As far as I know, one year of mandatory ICU work is required between the RN phase and the MSN phase.

  2. Midwife Salary in Bay Area

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

    I can't answer personally, but salary.com has good

  3. Discouraging post...opinions?

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

    BabyLady - I read that also, however I haven't found that to be true (although I am not a CNM yet, and therefore don't have the paystubs to back it up!). If you work in an urban area, it seems that...

  4. Midwifery Forum in 2009

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

    I agree! I definitely don't want the Frontier students to stop posting, it would just be nice if students from other schools would speak up, too! :heartbeat I am in the pre-MSN phase of the...

  5. Many RN's administer IV meds wrong.

    Bree124 replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient Medications

    Absolutely. However, it's a generalization to state that anyone who allows her(/his) students to administer any type of injection without being present is a "poor instructor." My instructor has been...

  6. Many RN's administer IV meds wrong.

    Bree124 replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient Medications

    In the program I attend, I was giving IV pushes and injections by myself about half way through my first med/surg clinical. The instructor would assist in getting the med out, watch me prepare it or...

  7. MATC petition process for Jan 09 students

    Bree124 replied to craigm's topic in General Nursing

    The floor that I did my adult clinical on this fall no longer accepts MATC (Milwaukee) students, as they were having too many problems with the faculty and students. I applied and was accepted to...

  8. Is it time?

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

    ADN = associate degree in nursing ASN = associate of science in nursing I think they are for all intents and purposes interchangeable, just different terminology for different

  9. How do I start? And more questions...

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

    Do you already have a baccalaureate degree? If so, you can apply to a direct-entry master's program that offers midwifery. They take three years to complete, beginning to end (BSN + MSN), if you go...

  10. Questions: Taking classes at a JC vs. a University; and Volunteer work/Experience

    Bree124 replied to Limbic System's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I took two pre-reqs from community colleges before I started my direct entry master's program. It didn't hurt my application at all, and I know many of the students in my cohort took at least one...

  11. pts who say "it's ok" and it's not!

    Bree124 replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    ITA - I know that you were trying to help, but you still put her in the hot seat by asking her to "back you up" and tell the chatty cathy that it was bothering her. Some people just really do not do...

  12. What makes Nursing school so hard?

    Bree124 replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Students

    I also have to add that so far I've only had two of "those" instructors... Nursing students know exactly the kind I am talking about. :chair: I am sure that has helped me out a

  13. What makes Nursing school so hard?

    Bree124 replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Students

    I personally so far do not find the material very hard. I don't want to sound rude or condescending, since I know that a LOT of people struggle with it - but I have taken much harder classes (content...

  14. Vent..Cheating Students..and my bad test grade!!!

    Bree124 replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in General Students

    Is there a tutoring service on campus? If you have one, GO. Also reassess your study habits - maybe reading and reviewing notes doesn't stick in your brain because you're an auditory learner....

  15. need encouragement

    Bree124 replied to jenline89's topic in General Students

    Take a step back and figure out WHY you got a 74. Was it lack of knowledge? Or not understanding what the question was trying to ask? Did you study enough? HOW did you study? What kind of learner...

  16. Master's entry drop out

    Bree124 replied to tobagosama's topic in Post Graduate Students

    From what I have heard, the BON may not actually have a clear cut answer for you. However, I believe that something about the "certificate" that they (your school) has to supply to the state in order...

  17. being a mom and a student

    Bree124 replied to PinkPeony7's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    First of all, congrats on your engagement! I am currently in grad school, and I have four children. My oldest turned 7 a few days ago. I won't lie, it is very difficult. Definitely not impossible -...

  18. Question for hospital CNMs

    Bree124 posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi there, I have a question for you all. I am currently in an MSN program and planning to go into midwifery (although I still can switch programs). I am passionate about midwifery, and truly excited...

  19. Nursing going into Medicine?

    Bree124 replied to spuropathy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    As far as I know, no, nursing classes will not count in any way towards medical school hours. EVERYTHING is different- from the level of science courses all the way to the theory and way you learn....

  20. Breast Feeding and Contractions Questions

    Bree124 replied to Emily Suzanne's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have never, ever heard of a recommendation to "walk around" for preterm contractions. You DON'T want mom delivering at 33 weeks, so walking around is not a good choice in this scenario. If mom was...

  21. another "what are my chances" thread

    Bree124 replied to sprinklez's topic in Post Graduate Students

    To be perfectly honest, I believe the lowest GPA in our direct entry class was about 3.3. I'm not saying that it is right or fair, but oftentimes the main determinant is GPA. However, I definitely...

  22. MMR titers came back neg--uh-oh

    Bree124 replied to Makinitthough's topic in General Students

    A girl in our class had her rubella titer come back negative, and she had no trouble starting clinicals. She just had to be in the process of getting the vaccines to be allowed in the hospital. I...

  23. Just got BA...is being a CNA "below" me?

    Bree124 replied to kix86's topic in General Nursing

    I am in a direct entry master's program, and many of the people in our class (who all have a four year degree) are CNAs or PCTs. Go for

  24. Scared of ABSN

    Bree124 replied to abvinh's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not in an ABSN program, I am in a direct entry master's program. Our first 15 months is spent getting the RN, and so far it has been very manageable. Yes, it is faster than you're used to - but...

  25. Any advice for continuing to breastfeed while working as a nurse?

    Bree124 replied to proudmommy2's topic in General Nursing

    I started back to work when my youngest was 5 weeks old, and managed to EBF and pump for 9 months while working 12 hour shifts (although not in nursing). I did catch some flack from my manager when I...
