  1. L&D After Graduation in W. PA

    kalley posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Do any of the hospitals in Western PA hire to L&D right after graduation? I am currently a pre-nursing student, but am thinking about this way ahead. I plan to start midwife training ASAP after...

    kalley replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

    kalley replied to -alice-'s topic in Ob/Gyn

  4. North Pittsburgh Nursing school???

    kalley replied to filumena's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I don't know much about La Roche's program, other than it is relatively new. As far as BC3 goes, you don't have to have all the classes as prereqs, most of them can be completed as coreqs. You have...

    kalley replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

  15. A&P...I had Chem and Med Term which is harder?

    kalley replied to ssnva1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think A&P is harder than Chem. I took both last semester and managed both, but definitely had to put more time into A&P. Med Term should help, but I am not 100% sure about that because I...

    kalley replied to retread71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. Note Taking

    kalley replied to pristock230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
