  1. Should RN's home address be posted on the BRN website?

    AOX4RN replied to AnnemRN's topic in California Nursing

    I have a license as a midwife under the Medical Board... my address is posted out there for any wacko to come find me. They won't allow us to use a PO Box but we can use any residential or business...

  2. Does a degree from west coast university transfer to cal state?

    AOX4RN replied to wooosp's topic in California Nursing

    INcorrect. Your BSN from WCU will not transfer to a CSU/UC. WCU is not accredited within the same system as the state schools. If the MSN is your end goal, stay away from WCU. Even if you can get...

  3. Cerritos College: Getting into Nursing Program

    AOX4RN replied to Carol220's topic in California Nursing

    it's lottery based on the minimum GPA to qualify. so whether you made a 4.0 or a 2.5, your odds are the same once you hit the lottery pile meeting the minimum requirements. from the school website...

  4. Which is the best school?

    AOX4RN replied to From55's topic in California Nursing

    What it means is you got picked in the lottery and they accepted your grades and application, so congratulations! Everyone's letter says this. When the lottery was drawn, everyone got a number...

  5. Furosemide... too much?

    AOX4RN posted a topic in General Students

    I'm a first semester ADN student.... We have to prep for our patients the night before which includes writing up their scheduled and PRN meds. My patient was in for acute kidney failure and...

  6. Furosemide... too much?

    AOX4RN replied to AOX4RN's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much for the input! I think I've got my new direction. Let's see if I guessed

  7. Furosemide... too much?

    AOX4RN replied to AOX4RN's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the reply. I'm going to rewrite my care plan with a slightly different focus. I think she was trying to give me a hint to go in a different direction with one of my nursing diagnoses. I...

  8. Pregnant during nursing school?

    AOX4RN replied to heatherhammy's topic in General Students

    My schedule is a test every Monday morning, followed by 2-hour lecture, a trip to the hospital to select my patient for the next day, rushing home to do the paperwork on him (which sometimes takes...

  9. Will "doula" on a resume hurt me?

    AOX4RN replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Do you ever say anything to them? I have as a midwife and imagine I would also if I worked

  10. Will "doula" on a resume hurt me?

    AOX4RN replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A doula is not a midwife; it's another word for "labor coach" (to mainstream the meaning). And all midwives don't need to be nurses first (or ever). Midwives who are not nurses are known as...

  11. Will "doula" on a resume hurt me?

    AOX4RN replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Ob/Gyn

    LOL... I avoid talking about birth with everyone. It gives me a

  12. Will "doula" on a resume hurt me?

    AOX4RN replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yikes, I hope "Licensed Midwife" won't hurt me either since that automatically implies "fringe caregiver to home birth wackos" I would put it down because that's experience in the field. In your...

  13. how to report a teacher to the BRN?

    AOX4RN replied to scibruin's topic in General Students

    I would be ****** for being patted down. It's annoying enough to have to lift my pant leg to show how long my socks are. We can have our phones on us to use for the 'net and PDA functions but not...

  14. First day of clinicals tomorrow, so confused!

    AOX4RN replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in General Students

    I think you mean perineal since you won't be able to see inside his abdominal cavity :) Good

  15. Is there a reason why most CNMs don't do homebirths?

    AOX4RN replied to klone's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    That bill is to legally recognize and license Certified Professional Midwives. CNMs can and do attend home births in IL. Here is the link for SB

  16. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    AOX4RN replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I'm a midwife going to nursing school and as of *this second* don't want to do OB or mother/baby. I know the hospitals in my area and cringe at the baby factory mentality I'd be working in. I have...

  17. Did you apply with BARE PreReqs out of the way???

    AOX4RN replied to ICUterry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in SoCal and didn't need biology or chemistry for the ADN programs I applied to... just anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and English to *apply*. I did all the rest of the co-requisite education...

  18. Is there a reason why most CNMs don't do homebirths?

    AOX4RN replied to klone's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hard to say without knowing your area. The ones who are in my area who don't do home birth never have. The ones who'd like to wouldn't risk the politics of making the move. And then there is the...

  19. Is there a reason why most CNMs don't do homebirths?

    AOX4RN replied to klone's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    It's not that "hardcore CNMs" (or any midwives like me for that matter) choose not to carry it, we can't afford it! My CNM friends have educational debt and get it paid off easier in the hospital...

  20. Pharmacy School Anyone?

    AOX4RN replied to Rimzy's topic in General Students

    Sounds exhausting to me. Like getting an engineering degree so you can go to mechanic school. Just get a chemistry or biology degree and go to pharmacy school and save yourself the money and time it...

  21. Cerritos College: Getting into Nursing Program

    AOX4RN replied to Carol220's topic in California Nursing

    I am starting at Cerritos in Spring '10. The minimum requirements were to have finished English Composition, Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology with a 2.0 GPA (a few other schools in SoCal also...

  22. Oh no! Advice please!

    AOX4RN replied to dalsor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did that too! Grabbed a seat let go while I was viewing the list-- at nearly midnight the day before class

  23. Should I take Chem before taking Microbiology?

    AOX4RN replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't taken chem and didn't have trouble w/micro. Earned a B and would've had an A had I studied better for lecture

  24. Has anyone here gotten into nursing school with a 'B' in Anatomy?

    AOX4RN replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have Cs in Anatomy and Physiology and start school in January. My area [2-year] schools are all lotteries

  25. So who is joining us upstairs soon???

    AOX4RN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The short story is the school I got into is a lottery and I was picked on my first try there, within a year of finishing my prerequisites. It will be just short of two years from finishing the...
