BSNMomOf6

Hello, Are there any CNM programs I can get into with a 2.98 GPA? If not, would it be best to get my masters in nursing and then get a post-masters certificate in midwifery? I'm about to graduate with my BSN in June and have been a doula and c...

This is helpful, thank you! I am specifically looking at the program at East Carolina University in North Carolina, since I live here in NC and it's only a few hours away. I was also considering Frontier, but I heard they are pretty strict on the 3...

Anyone starting next week at the Charlotte campus?

First off, shame on your parents for not being supportive! As a mom what I want most in life to to see my kids happy, I would hope all parents want the same, but I guess not! Sorry, but I'm angry for you! Anyway, tell them you are joining the mili...

First week, most clinical placements require it. I would just be ready to be drug tested any time.

Interesting, I just started and my on-line classes are through DeVry, so I wonder if next session will be different.

Anyone use ECPI to get there LPN? I'm looking into the Charlotte campus to get my LPN. Then I plan to work part time or whatever and do an on-line LPN to RN program. Having kids I feel like this is my best option. ECPI has a schedule I can work w...

I actually decided to start at Chamberlain and do my BSN, I start next week!

Awww too bad! Wish you all the best still! :-)

what campus?? I'm at Charlotte.

Awesome, exciting isn't it??? I can't believe I got accepted, I'm so excited and shocked!

Thanks congrats to you too!!! Yes I need to go in next Wed to do finger printing and drug testing and scheduling...you?

I got accepted!!!!!

I should find out by the end of today if I was accepted. I had a lower GPA of 2.78 and a HESI of 87%.

Hello! I've been considering Chamberlain College but avoiding it because of the price. However I have all my pre-reqs done since I was in a program a few years ago, this should cut down on the cost. I was wondering if anyone attends this campus an...

It sounds like maybe nursing wasn't for you, but I know people who GO to Queens and they love it...so I'm not sure how bad it can be if many students I've talked with love it.

I told a neighbor I was thinking of maybe doing a CNA course in a few weeks, and they told me "why would you want to clean poop off people for a living? That's all they do, you know, right?" This was from a nurse! That kind of made me wonder if th...

I have been told it's a waste of time, there are no jobs, and schools are just trying to get you in their programs to make money. I'm still trying to decide between CNA/LPN/MA and medicl assistant I can literally start next week and they'll take my ...

I'm thinking for me an MA isn't worth the money. Keiser is trying to tell me how many jobs they have and they need to fill them with MAs. I think CNA is much more my speed. I KNOW they have those jobs available. Thanks everyone!

The CNA course is $850. Normally no big for hubby and I, except that we just gutted out bathroom and need to re-build it. Mold caused our shower tile to fall in. Gotta love buying a house and not knowing what to exect with it! I think CNA is proba...

I'd like to do CNA, but I need to come up with the money to do it since they don't offer assistance for payments. There are 29 CNA jobs open at my local hospital right now!

Thanks!!

I wish I could go the nursing route right now, but for multiple reasons I can't. I can start a MA progam like next month though if I want, but it is pricey.

There are jobs available, I have found them. But I'm not sure how many jobs are out there compared to how many will graduate the program each quarter. It seems like CNA jobs are in major abundance here.

Thanks everyone! And yes, I think she is THAT nurse. She probably forces the CNAs in her unit to clean her patients, hence saying they are the poop cleaners! Oh well, at least I know not to apply for a job in her unit! She's charge nurse in that ...
