    mombabyrn posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Has anyone ever taken this exam after going to the Advanced Fetal Monitoring Course given by PEC? I know they offer it in conjunction with their EFM review course, but I am wondering if the advanced...

  3. RN-MSN over RN->BSN->MSN, and MSN focus

    mombabyrn posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello! Does anyone have any insight as to whether there is any benefit over first obtaining a BSN and then an MSN, or going into program where they are rolled into one? I am taking prereq's now for an...

    mombabyrn replied to mombabyrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the reply. If you don't mind answering, what is it that makes you wish you had done the RN-MSN? I'd like to learn from those who have walked this path before. BTW I believe we are in the...

  5. Why is it sooo ridiculous???

    mombabyrn replied to natkoz1982's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Ghetto????? If you think that of the community colleges, then don't bother working in Chicago as a nurse. Whatever makes you think the colleges are ghetto is probably also present in every hospital in...

  6. How to answer questions about doctors and delivery preferences

    mombabyrn replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

  7. EFM Certification by NCC Exam?

    mombabyrn replied to mombabyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well I will say I was a bit disappointed in the Adv EFM course, now that it is over. I thought it would have been more in depth than it was. Lisa's approach is different than her predecesor, Michelle...

    mombabyrn replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OzMW~ Of course it is ethical to support a woman who faces a cs. I don't believe that was pirap's question. The question was specifically regarding when pts ask how their doctor compares with other...

  11. How to answer questions about doctors and delivery preferences

    mombabyrn replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think it is ethical for you to answer a question by a patient that is essentially a comparison of competing physicians. You hope patients do these things on their own, and long before they are...

    mombabyrn replied to mombabyrn's topic in Illinois Nursing

    traumaRUs~ I know the hospital you worked at, it is the tertiary for most hosptials around here, including the one at which I interviewed. I did see a listing for new grad positions with a start pay...

  14. Pay in Central Il?

    mombabyrn replied to mombabyrn's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Well the offer I have is less than that, us3Rbent! With no benefits to boot! The research I did puts this offer way below the average for the area, especially for someone in a specialty with a good...

    Thanks, everyone! I actually did make some calls (all day!) yesterday to see if anyone was willing. CEG I even called UIC, I am waiting for Cheryl to call me back on that. I'm waiting for a lot of...

  17. Any Moraine Valley People Out There?

    mombabyrn replied to lpn4themoment's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I graduated from MVCC's nursing program in 1998. I'm not sure if any of the instructors I had are still there. But when I was there, they were tough as nails. Less than half of my class ended up...
