  1. Maryville University WEC

    L&DWannabe replied to llerou1's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently in the Maryville WEC program. I don't know about the prereqs needed but when I applied I needed 32. I actually got a psych minor just to be able to enter the program. The difficulty of...

  2. Maryville nursing program

    L&DWannabe replied to EBT67's topic in General Nursing

    mcalvin- you are so right. Most people in WEC BSN program already have previous degrees, so a BSN makes more sense. If you don't, and are starting from scratch, it makes more sense to do a RN. The...

  3. Midwifery. How does it work in the US?

    L&DWannabe replied to iNurseUK's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure that the term "lay midwife" could still be used. Not all midwives get certification. A lay midwife would truly be someone who just goes around delivering babies with no documentation...

  4. Going from a career in nursing to med school

    L&DWannabe replied to AmandaMae3721's topic in General Nursing

    my question is...if your driving force is to have children and you think that nursing would work well with the schedule...why don't you try something much more simple that gives you a schedule that...

  5. Maryville nursing program

    L&DWannabe replied to EBT67's topic in General Nursing

    Re MOnurse: It depends on what we are doing academically with how many we lose. With our pharmacology skills we probably lost about 5 students. With our sterile field demos we lost about 6. Earlier...

  6. Maryville nursing program

    L&DWannabe replied to EBT67's topic in General Nursing

    Hi...just wanted to let you all know a perspective about Maryville WEC bsn that's not so shiny. About every week at Maryville, there is a chance to fail out, and we usually do lose at least one or two...

  7. Ampule Question: Does this make sense?

    L&DWannabe posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a question about withdrawing meds from an ampule. I am being taught that a triangular-stance method to stabilize my hands because we are not able to touch the needle anywhere inside the...

  8. Ampule Question: Does this make sense?

    L&DWannabe replied to L&DWannabe's topic in General Nursing

    Ya, I'm in nursing school (BSN) and if we touch the needle to the side of the ampule we fail the demonstration of that skill. And in clinical practice, we are told we would have to waist the med and...

  9. Please help me, I'm in trouble.

    L&DWannabe replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

    If you can't afford a lawyer, open up a credit card with a lower interest rate, they're pretty easy to find. Then just put it all on the card and make the minimum payments. It's not as painful as it...

  10. Acceptance into Maryville Univ.

    L&DWannabe replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats! I just got my letter too! Yay! Now we're

  11. 2015 is it official? YES

    L&DWannabe replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree. "Doctor" is not the technical term for a physician. I think that this is such a positive change for nurses. What a better way to earn the respect that we deserve? These advanced degrees are...

  12. ALL NURSES this affects all of you

    L&DWannabe replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Nursing

    What if the true purpose is to keep Health Care workers from getting sick so that we have enough staff to care for those who are sick? I think the government is freaked out about this pandemic, and...

  13. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    L&DWannabe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm....I'm not sure about "just go for it"...but it does come down to the individual. I don't think it is unwise to worry about getting yourself really far into debt- You really have to weigh the...

  14. Starting a website

    L&DWannabe replied to TiddlywinksMom's topic in General Nursing

    My HONEST advice? You're asking a bunch of Chevorlet fans if you should drive a Ford. Most people here are dedicated to this website- so getting a "go ahead" from this post, at least a possitive...

  15. to be a nurse or not to be a nurse

    L&DWannabe replied to kjwarren's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I don't think you're the only one all of a sudden realizing that the economy is bad and the medical field may be your only hope. In fact, we will probably see a huge growth spurt in nursing...

  16. Never Going to Find a Job! Is it too late for me?

    L&DWannabe replied to lvnjden4ever, R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    HOW are you applying? filling out online applications? You actually have to call Human Resources at the hospitals and ask to speak to the Nurse Recruiter. Getting hired from an online application is...

  17. 38 year old Male. Former Recruiter wanting to go into nursing !

    L&DWannabe replied to Kurt_Fl's topic in General Nursing

    Have you checked into your local community college? They are much cheaper and you will actually become an RN after two years. Don't let the waitlist fool you, because you will have to take some...

  18. Anything but a Nurse!

    L&DWannabe posted a topic in General Students

    "Anything but a Nurse!"...that's what my family tells me. My mom was a nurse, and hated it. My dad, who hasn't been with my mom for more than a decade, said the same thing. He said I'll have a "dog's"...

  19. Anything but a Nurse!

    L&DWannabe replied to L&DWannabe's topic in General Students

    Thank you all so much. I've told my mom that I know for a fact that there are nurses that love their jobs (my mom insists this couldn't be true)...Today my SIL gave birth... since labor and delivery...

  20. Working as a stripper AND a nurse

    L&DWannabe replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    When "morality" is left up to society- we will all be doomed. You don't have to believe in God, but the idea of having a set of what is "moral" and "immoral" is not a bad thing. Casual sex, drugs,...

  21. Working as a stripper AND a nurse

    L&DWannabe replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know the "technical" answer- but you can get fired for numerous reasons. It will not serve you well if you management found out you were stripping, trust me. Also- if one management finds out-...

  22. Pursue the UNIT I Desire to work in or the FACILITY I Desire???

    L&DWannabe replied to Ihoplover's topic in General Nursing

    I think your answer should be obvious. If L&D is your passion- then why are you listening to the nay-sayers? At least- don't give up before you've even TRIED! No, you probably won't get 100% what...

  23. How can I become a CNA in St. louis????

    L&DWannabe posted a topic in General Nursing

    No hospitals ever called me back for positions I applied for. I have an associate degree in General Ed and am going for nursing but still on the waiting list at Maryville U. From what I can see there...

  24. How can I become a CNA in St. louis????

    L&DWannabe replied to L&DWannabe's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I think I might have to do that. It's a bit of a drive, but it doesn't look like there are many other options. My husband is the only one working and Half of his factory was let go yesterday...

  25. The Smell of Death!?

    L&DWannabe replied to carbaminohemoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure your personal health is fine. You're taking home the smell...it happens anytime you work around things with a "smell". If you work at a resauraunt, you will smell like food- and it's never a...
