  1. Certified Professional Midwife Student Looking for really good Midwife curriculum

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

    That's one of the problems, IMHO, of doing the Portfolio Evaluation Process as a DEM student with NARM. YOU are responsible for the education and there is a lot to learn! Have you checked out the...

  2. Anyone get into the Golden West nursing program for fall 2009

    AOX4RN replied to Tinaweber17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm glad I got in somewhere, but would rather go to GWC or Saddleback because they are so much closer to me (and have newer facilities and classrooms). Here's to our good

  3. Cerritos College, CA

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

    I've heard nothing about it. It has a fair passing rate according to the CA BRN site, it's within driving distance, and I got picked in the lottery on my first time in their once-a-year...

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

    Did you get a letter? Tomorrow is orientation for the program and I haven't received anything other than the letter I was given at the TEAS

  5. not sure what to name this thread..need advice (bereavement)?

    AOX4RN replied to kitti419's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly. Not weeping with joy doesn't mean you don't care, it just means you're being attentive. I am a midwife and attended a birth recently where the doula was a friend of the mother's and student...

  6. Home births 'as safe as hospital'

    AOX4RN replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes. In theory this is plan of a 'freebirther'. Honestly you can safely put that fear to rest. There is no way after a hundred year campaign to take birth out of the home and medicalize it to the...

  7. Home births 'as safe as hospital'

    AOX4RN replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Seriously? I haven't seen the show but I don't see any time before H*ll freezes over that ACOG, Big Insurance, and the attorneys that serve them advocating home births, much less do-it-yourself...

  8. Anyone get into the Golden West nursing program for fall 2009

    AOX4RN replied to Tinaweber17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got a letter on Friday that they've processed my paperwork and will send out acceptance or denial letters at the end of May. I don't know why it took them so long to do this when we applied...

  9. Cerritos College, CA

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

    Thank you :) In order to make it to the Fall class I figure since the top 50 made it in and I'm #72, I need 22 students to bail on their seat. The proctor didn't imagine that scenario happening....

  10. Cerritos College, CA

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

    At the very least you know you're in the top 200 and passed the test. I'm #72 (Spring) and passed the TEAS. That test was more stressful than my national midwifery credentialing exam! Glad it's...

  11. Cerritos College, CA

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

    When I called to schedule my test I asked specifically if by taking the TEAS test I would be tossed into the lottery for the final selection according to the possible admission language all over the...

  12. Cerritos College, CA

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

    The woman who scheduled my exam said you don't get a letter telling you to take the TEAS unless you've been selected for the program. Of course, we need to pass the test to be in for

  13. Any UCI Nursing students or community college transfer to UC students?

    AOX4RN replied to applexjuice's topic in General Students

    I was going to transfer there for something else this fall because I was running out of steam finishing prereqs and dealing with waiting lists/lotteries but was accepted into an ADN program at...

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

  18. Best CNM programs for home birth midwives?

    AOX4RN replied to aspiring.midwife's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Stickler here... It's not illegal to give birth at home anywhere in the US. The practitioner is the one who finds herself shackled by the law depending on the state. Further, CNMs do attend home...

  19. Golden West College Spring '09

    AOX4RN replied to AOX4RN's topic in California Nursing

    GWC is 100% lottery so if you met the minimum requirements, you've made it for the lottery. Good luck! I'm on my second application with GWC

  20. Intermediate Algebra..... Ugggg!

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

    I'm in intermediate algebra too! This is my fourth attempt; I dropped it the first three times early on due to scheduling conflict or horrible instruction. I have a great teacher and I think that...

  21. RN-BSN or ADN-Frontier Bridge?

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

    I know the ADN is the requirement, I've been stalking the CNM degree for 6 years and working on every possibility to eventually get there. In CA, the vast majority of ADN programs do not require...

  22. RN-BSN or ADN-Frontier Bridge?

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

    What is a PA class? Public awareness? Physician assistant? Pharmacology aptitude? :chuckle And what about chemistry? Did all you bridge walkers do that? Speaking of math, stats is stats... how...

  23. Golden West Nursing

    AOX4RN replied to dylansmom7's topic in California Nursing

    If you don't want the points, you don't have to show up It's only a one hour class on Wednesdays now with almost 99% of the lecture and chatter online. I prefer a more interactive classroom so it...

    AOX4RN replied to dylansmom7's topic in California Nursing

    GWC pharm now has class participation component so there is in a sense an attendance requirement. 5 points per class for this "clicker" device that you answer questions with through a wireless device...

    AOX4RN replied to dylansmom7's topic in California Nursing

    I applied to Cypress (waitlisted), Santa Ana (waitlisted), Saddleback, and GWC. I have two Cs on my transcripts... in A&P. We had a combo class in Colorado and I bombed a test in each semester...
