    kimiij posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

  4. Is it worth it going for a doula Certification?

    kimiij replied to smallwonders07's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I would say no. But, it depends on how long it will take you to start midwifery school in earnest. If it will take you 10 years to start midwifery school, then why not? However, if you plan to start...

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

    I read Labor of Love and felt like it was just OK. I think I felt this way because I had read Peggy Vincent's Baby Catcher: Chronicles of a Modern Midwife. This book was EXCELLENT. IMO, Vincent's...

    I get mine from Blue Sky Scrubs. They are high quality scrubs- extremely soft and well-made. They are kind a price - $20 for the simple scrubs and $30 for the original scrubs. Price is for a top or...

    kimiij replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard of the HSPS but the possible sacrifice just isn't worth it for me. One thing you should ask is if they can enact a "stop loss" action on you. If the US is in a protracted engagement and...

    kimiij replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Biddy- The merit scholarship was awarded to me. I will still have to take out about $50,000 in loans the first year which sucks. The YSN scholarship is based on EFC (I had a low EFC because for much...

    I haven't heard yet....Anxiously waiting but I'm fairly certain (and at the same time afraid ) that there won't be any surprises and that it will be very similar to what they outlined in the...

    kimiij replied to LillyB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also want to find a place with other nursing students. Living in a one bedroom is extremely expensive (my host pays over $1000 for hers). So, I would like to find a share with other students that...
