It seems like CNM's are losing hospital privileges around here in Minnesota due to OB's who do not want to back them up. As a doula, just trying to understand this...is it simple politics? Or is it due to increases in lawsuits? Or pressure from insur...

Hi! I'm trying to put together a little handout on c-sec's and I wanted to have a figure to represent mom and baby with stick people representing the folks in the OR. Going off of what I have personally seen having had 3 c-sections, I know that in a ...

Thanks everyone! So, the person that is helping the main OB...is a resident? Or intern? Or another OB? Or an MD? Or could be any??? And what is the role of the OB nurse during a c-sec? It seems to me they just hang out by my side and explain what is ...

12.50 an hour brand new in Twin Cities MN at LTC facility

Private college is expensive! I attened the NAU nursing orientation and they very clearly go over all of the costs and requirements. Honestly, after 2 years at Inver and dealing with what HAS to be the worst admin staff in nearly every department (no...

So....did you get in? Inver letters are out...

I heard from Inver. I'm #51...they are taking 50 for spring...so as long as 1 person drops out between the 60 Fall and 50 Spring people, I'm in!

That is what I said. And Pearson vue is correct!!! I took it at inver and I was on the registry within a week after taking the test. I have the exact same license as other CNAs.

Lord I HATE this wait. I have the credits and the gpa but only a month of CNA expirience so....I'm doubtful but hopeful. Who else is waiting on Inver? Is it March yet?????

Still haven't heard either way When did you find out? The program has the same application so I'm assuming I must find out soon!

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I'm nervous about the lack of CNA work time but...hey, I can't take the pay cut either! Still waiting. They said end of Marchish but here it is...and still no letter. I won't hold my breath this week because it is Spring Break ...

I just tested out without taking the class! It was like $125 bucks to do it. Pearson Vue was the company. You can download the skills book free on their website.

I've done both. Bottlefed exclusively one child and breastfed exclusively another. There is no difference in their health or intelligence or my relationship with them. I've come to the conclusion that the previous poster is dead on about letting ever...

I never assumed they did. However, that being obvious (not all schools alike), your GPA from high school or ACT test score really means diddly squat if you are going back to school 10 or 20 years after you graduated from High school. So, that being s...

You can't GET into the program here unless you HAVE completed all your nursing pre-req's. It's just too competative. They want you to show that you can go for a year or two and get excellent grades and complete classes. No point even applying unless ...

Agency work...it's a means to an end for me. Need it to get into the RN program. Not my long-term plan to be a CNA and not my main job so the pay is really not a factor (and it's bad).

Those of you that use these...is there a difference as far as hearing a fetal heart beat? I mean, will a stethoscope do what the fetoscope and pinard will do and just as well? If so, why are the other two used? To look cool or something?? I know of s...

Okay, I know how different they look but what I'm wondering is...is there a difference as far as hearing a fetal heart beat? I mean, will a stethoscope do what the fetoscope and pinard will do? If so, why are the other two used? To look cool or somet...

Mine is tomorrow too. Not to brag, but I have the HIGHEST grade in my class and I'm super prepared to ace the thing tomorrow!

Okay, I passed the CNA-R exam on Wed. My question is pretty simple. When writing my name on professional documents, how do I indicate the CNA title? Ann Smith, CNA Ann Smith CNA-R??? Comma or no comma? R or no R??? Help!

Hey, I'm due April 30 which is basically at the end of Spring Semester (ends here May 13). Currently I'm going this fall without any problems (this is my third baby so I'm not new at this). Question for some of you in the same boat....should I skip n...

Thanks! I did have both previous kids via c/s so I know I'm looking at that probably being the case this time (even though I will try a VBAC again). So I would most certainly need a week minimum. I'm just wondering how taking a week off two weeks bef...

I hear it is pretty hard to get a job in a hospital as a CNA right out of school especially doing OB like what I want to do. Oh well. We HAVE to have three months of full time expirence as a CNA during school BEFORE applying to the nursing program he...

I forgot about summer! Yes, I will definitely consider that!!! Having the baby in April means I can definitely take July summer classes no problem...like I said, this isn't my first kid. :)
