that's exactly what happened to me...when looking straight on - it's spinning clockwise. when i read the content on the left, she spins counter clockwise! really cool...

That was my biggest question...but good luck to you...

My aunt became an RN at 50...GO FOR IT!!

I delivered my (first and only) daughter about a week after Christina did...so when I read the People article - my L/D was FRESH in my mind. While I'm sure I had a GRAVY delivery compared to some (about 5 hours and 5 pushes) I just don't understand ...

That is hilarious! I SOOO needed that...:chuckle

Thanks for posting that...needed a good laugh today! BTW - I love Crocs!

CORRECTION!! - Over 2/3 of my tuition is being paid...I only have loans for 1/3!

Something in women's services...I KNOW that after my clinicals I could easily change my mind, but I've (known) all along that L/D, post partum, etc. is screaming my name...we'll see! :)

THANK YOU! I start the PN program at MCI on 9/15 and like you said - once all is said and done, over 1/3 of my tuition is being paid for between tuition reimbursement at work, grants and scholarships. The aid is out there if you take the time to fi...

Everyone is different and I've said this in a couple of posts but I'm gonna say it again :) I am a single mom (daughter will be 8 mos when I start school), I work 40 hours a week and will be going to school at night - 4 nights/wk and most Saturdays.....

I absolutely LOVE HCA - I worked for them for a few years, left to work for a doctor's office and have been back for about 3 years now. I hope to stay on with HCA once I graduate...My sister delivered all 3 of her children at HDH (Forest Campus) and ...

Hi - I'm new to this site and am starting my PN program in September. I am taking classes 4 nights a week (5:30-10:30) and all day on Saturdays. I work full time (40 hours, M-F) and I have a 6 month old daughter. Oh...and I'm single - LOL - I have...

Well - you've got my (our) support!! And thank you for your's!

Hi - I'm a nursing student so I don't know about working in the L/D dept - BUT, I currently work for the business office for HDH (as well as about 40 other HCA hospitals!) and I can assure you it is one of the BEST facilities in the Richmond area. A...

:ancong!: That was SO inspiring...I'm getting ready to start classes in just over a month or so...and my daughter will be 8 months old when I start...it CAN be done!

thank you so much for the information/suggestions/advice! i take every bit of it to heart. i wish not working or even cutting my hours was a possibility...and if it weren't for my daughter - i would, but cutting my hours not only means less tuition...

Well...it's a 14 month program. I was able to get in the program without taking pre-reqs...who knew I'd remember what I learned in previous school years!?!? I believe I have 3 or 4 classes per term (4 terms) - my actual schedule is at home (I'm at ...

That's great! I hope we have that option when I start clinicals...I would really like to specialize in L/D (eventually) when I go back for RN - so any experience would be wonderful.

Oh wow! Like it's been said, every school is different and I'm sure that's true, but you having to pay for missed classes? Isn't tuition expensive enough?? My schools policy - you have to be there 80% of the term...or something VERY close to tha...

You can definitely take nursing classes at night...I work full time (40 hours/week) and am going to start my classes 9/15 - M-Th nights and Saturdays...I can even do my clinicals at night/weekends. HAHA!

I had a student assess me prior to D/C after giving birth...so it does happen! :nuke:

I'll be 31 when I start in a month and a half and 32 when I graduate...AND I'm a single Mom to a 6 month old and work a FULL 40 hours a week! Yeah...I'm pretty proud of myself!
