  1. Feeling Discouraged...

    peytonsmom replied to drawnfromlife7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a thought. Is your school competative admission? I ask becaues at our school you have to have a 2.5 gpa to apply, but it won't get you in. Historically the cutoff has been a 3.4 or higher....

  2. Nursing Specialties

    peytonsmom replied to futurenurseashley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With having no clinical experience I know this might change but right now: I REALLY want L&D. I have hopes of eventually becoming a CNM If L&D wouldn't work out for some reason I could see...

  3. Semester if OVER!!! Shout you joy here!

    peytonsmom replied to markuskristian's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WOOT WOOT! I survived this semester! I work FT and have a family so i'm going part time but this semester really exhausted me. I think it was because I took a math class and wasn't used to having...

  4. Hospital Hierarchy

    peytonsmom posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a pre-nursing student finishing up my pre-reqs and trying to lay out a loose career plan for myself. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to lay out the chain of command in a typical...

  5. Hospital Hierarchy

    peytonsmom replied to peytonsmom's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you both, that was exactly what I was looking for. llg - So in the scheme of things where would a NP fit in exactly? Does she report to the director of the unit as

  6. What's your long term goal?

    peytonsmom replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a planner by nature so I have all of my plans all laid out (which of course will change along the way but I like at least having a plan). I'm on the ASN to BSN to MSN path. I really wanted to...

  7. I wish I had studied this before Nursing 101.......

    peytonsmom replied to twins2005's topic in General Students

  8. Bizarre Lab Practical-

    peytonsmom replied to Lis71683's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We did cats too and I thought the same thing as you. BUT since i'm at a CC and our lab fees really don't run to human cadavers I made do w/ cats! (we also did sheep brains/testicles, cow eyeballs,...

  9. Women who don't know they're pregnant

    peytonsmom replied to StarNurse2006's topic in Ob/Gyn

  10. What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

    peytonsmom replied to MySimplePlan's topic in General Students

    "Nobody can make you feel inferior w/o your consent" - Eleanor Roosevelt I use that one when I'm sitting there feeling like an idiot because something won't sink into my brain. "It will all be worth...

  11. Older students biased against younger students?

    peytonsmom replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students

    Through a program in our state, I started attending community college (while still going to highschool) at the age of 15. I graduated w/ my 1st associate degree @ 18. Now, at 26 i'm back in school...

  12. School Advisor says I shouldn't work???

    peytonsmom replied to CLJ1988's topic in General Students

    Keep in mind to that getting private student loans is not an easy feat in the current credit crunch. Unless you can live off of your Stafford loans you may be out of luck. I even had a co-signer w/...

  13. I have to switch out of Nursing Because of Grades? What Field Now?

    peytonsmom replied to BenjaminBrand's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in the Toledo area and I know around here most of our MA's work in Dr's office and make between $11-$12/hr. My SIL is an MA w/ several years of exerpience and makes around $12/hr at a dr's...

  14. Are there any future nursing professors out there?

    peytonsmom replied to Mariposa2009's topic in General Students

  15. A & P: I...Am I the only one that feels completely lost?

    peytonsmom replied to Holly5477's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I 2nd (3rd, 4th, 5th lol) the Marieb website. I had a craptastic lecture prof so after the first few weeks of class I just said screw it and studied on my own at home and only went to class to take...

  16. Elective Primary C/S

    peytonsmom replied to mamafeliz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think I would agree w/ you in most cases. It blows my mind to see mom's give birth and then be up and around the next day, can't do that w/ a c/s! But, on the other hand, I ended up w/ the lovely...

  17. Should nurses wear white?

    peytonsmom replied to lynn estes's topic in General Students

    I think they should be color coded but not white. How do you keep white clean lol? In the LTC facility I worked in nurses wore dark purple, aides were a light teal, kitchen wore very dark teal, and...

  18. HIPAA violation by another student

    peytonsmom replied to Dianacabana's topic in General Students

    I don't understand why everyone is upset she might lose her job. She violated HIPPA did she not? Doesn't that kind of violation warrant being fired? A HIPPA violoation is a HIPPA violation regardless...

  19. Anyone has been enrolled at Owens Community College?

    peytonsmom replied to mtopolinski's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Im at Owen's right now but going to be transfering to UT next Spring. I've taken A&PI & Lifespan Psych and am currently taking A&P II and Math. I like that they have classes available in...

  20. CNM or OB/GYN

    peytonsmom replied to ezxoxo322's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    This is probably a little OT of the OP, but I know a lot of people use the term "medwife" in a derogatory sense and I just don't get why. Isn't there room for that type of provider? I mean, when I was...

  21. CNM or OB/GYN

    peytonsmom replied to ezxoxo322's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    peytonsmom replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

  23. Anybody else feeling bad??

    peytonsmom replied to kaiteabee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. Need some advice

    peytonsmom replied to tryingtobeanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make sure and do some research before you pick a program. Two of the three schools I looked at counted ALL of your prior classes into your GPA to determine if you got a seat, no exceptions. I have 10...

  25. Pity Party! Wanna join?

    peytonsmom replied to partee-a-five's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So all of the students at all of the school you have applied for have perfect 4.0's in the pre-work? That seems rather amazing! The two CC's near me do NOT accept based on GPA, they accept by the...
