  1. opinions about homebirthing

    AOX4RN replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd actually like to see that sign It's incredible to think they are uncertified (implying unlicensed as well) and not nurses advertising right out there in the open something that isn't

  2. opinions about homebirthing

    AOX4RN replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I hope you don't mind me pointing out the obvious, but if these "PNMs" you speak of are not nurses, they are not 'practicing nurse midwives'. Further, there is no such thing as a PNM. There are these...

  3. opinions about homebirthing

    AOX4RN replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I do not attend births alone. I often bring two assistants and never less than one. They know everything from how to give an injection, prep an IV, to resuscitation. Just like it goes in the...

  4. opinions about homebirthing

    AOX4RN replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What's a PNM? I'm a midwife and thought I've heard all the acronyms for us... ps: I'd like to point out that while nursing education is a plus, it's not a requirement for being a

  5. Has anyone gone to GOLDENWEST COLLEGE (So Cal) in past 2-3 years for Nursing?

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

    I saw Hopkins written under your username a split second after I posted I see you're still listed as CA, are you doing a distance program? I'm amazed how much is out

  6. Has anyone gone to GOLDENWEST COLLEGE (So Cal) in past 2-3 years for Nursing?

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

    The orientation session is online now. You watch it and print something out and turn it in with application... and yes, it's still on a lottery system using an algorithm. Asherah, what school are you...

  7. Midwifery?

    AOX4RN replied to marshYO8's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Lay midwife is an extremely outdated term and among the non-CNM set (like me!) it is insulting to be defined in this way because it implies ignorance of practice. I am a Certified Professional...

  9. anyone done with pre-reqs?

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

    lilag02 and coolpeach, whew! I am glad I was on the right track without realizing all the terminology. My school gave me the check lists for the ADN, the check lists for the CSU and UC school...

  10. anyone done with pre-reqs?

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

    I am sure when I hear this answer I will know it was a dumb question. What are corequisites? Are these the classes that are required to finish the program entirely? Like you need Eng, Ana,...

  11. New RN program in So Cal!?!

    AOX4RN replied to Skysail's topic in California Nursing

    I'm aiming for CNM so schools are CSUF and Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing. I can go in steps from ADN to MSN/CNM with Frontier. I'll go to whomever will take me when I finish all...

  12. New RN program in So Cal!?!

    AOX4RN replied to Skysail's topic in California Nursing

    Yes I got the packet at my 'interview' session, I'm just on the email list for announcements now. I canceled my entrance test when I learned the program isn't accredited. But I'm watching it for...

  13. New RN program in So Cal!?!

    AOX4RN replied to Skysail's topic in California Nursing

    I've attached the document that was emailed to me today (I noticed the file name is misspelled but that is how it came to me ). I opened it hoping it would say it they were newly NLN and regionally...

  14. Any other SAC nursing students? (How long did it take?)

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

    I called to ask the status of my transcript evaluation today. It has been more than 4 weeks since I turned in the paperwork which indicated I should have received my waiting list number by now. I am...

  15. Mount St. Mary ADN - Fall 2008

    AOX4RN replied to SuperSteff's topic in California Nursing

    You said Chem, Psych 101, and English need to be taken before you enter the PROGRAM so does that mean one can apply in advance and be completing those

  16. Mount St. Mary ADN - Fall 2008

    AOX4RN replied to SuperSteff's topic in California Nursing

    Those of you with applications waiting on answers, can you tell me what the scoop is on math? I'm going to the info session later this month and viewed the power point online but all I see is there...

  17. Questions about Cypress College ADN program

    AOX4RN replied to NurseK222's topic in California Nursing

    ps: I forgot to mention (because that's not on my radar) there are accelerated BSN programs out there too for people who already have BA/BS in another field of study. So there is that too... you...

  18. Questions about Cypress College ADN program

    AOX4RN replied to NurseK222's topic in California Nursing

    What I am doing is what I know a lot of others are doing as well... I completed all the ADN prerequisites while working on a lot of the general education required of both the ADN and BSN. You don't...

  19. Questions about Cypress College ADN program

    AOX4RN replied to NurseK222's topic in California Nursing

    Not really. They all have some sort of entrance game they play with points, lotteries, just plain waiting in line, or any combination of the three. Those 800 people are probably also on the waiting...

  20. Cadaver lab?

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

    I went to Arapahoe CC in Colorado and we had a cadaver lab. The instructor did the prosection privately and then we had hands-on. During one of my semesters they received another cadaver for which...

  21. Submit ALL transcripts

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

    :yeahthat: That was going to be my suggestion. I took advantage of this and had my half-hearted early attempt at college (20 years ago) wiped clean to a much better 3.0 GPA. It involved writing an...

  22. New RN program in So Cal!?!

    AOX4RN replied to Skysail's topic in California Nursing

    Well there is three pages of notes on it here It seems like it has potential and I will be interested to see what happens as the first class of students gets underway. It was important to me that...

  23. Questions about Cypress College ADN program

    AOX4RN replied to NurseK222's topic in California Nursing

    No. You have to complete Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, English Comp, and Microbiology before applying all with a minimum of 'C' or better before applying. They are all impacted. There are more...

  24. Any Np wished they went to PA school?

    AOX4RN replied to RN28MD's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for that -- I just lost an hour of my life reading the paranoid rants of some student gods. Some of that trash they spewed-- vowing never to hire any nurse specialists, NPs, or DNPs in favor...

  25. Need help sorting this out...

    AOX4RN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am surely driving my friends crazy (girls who know who you are, close your eyes!) with my questions and want to hear more ideas to help me sort things out. I like to share the crazy. I have...
