  1. Maternity Nurse/Mid-Wife

    ayndim replied to bambi147's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you are young and without children I would say go straight for the BSN. But it will depend on you situation. For me, we are paying out of pocket, my state university seems to be more competitive...

  2. Experience and BSN

    ayndim posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am looking at all of the AP options and most require one years of experience and a BSN. Many also want you to apply one year before the start of classes. So if you are a ADN prepared RN working on...

  3. No GRE who said it

    ayndim replied to CCU NRS's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you have above a 3.0 cumulative, then Buffalo does not require

  4. Experience and BSN

    ayndim replied to ayndim's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks. I have a degree in Physics already. Does that count to having a degree or do you need a BSN. Also, do you apply after you already have your 1 year experience or do you apply while you are...

  5. Anyone still need a CNA cert/class

    ayndim replied to ayndim's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The number is 480-860-9552. The company is Medical Service Group. The class is taught by an RN and from my understanding she teaches or used to teach for the CC RN program. She sounded very nice...

  6. Anyone still need a CNA cert/class

    ayndim posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I found one for $500 (cheaper than the red cross of $800). You will have to sit the exam with the BON as it is not a CC class. If anyone wants the number for the class let me know. She said there...

  7. Maternity Nurse/Mid-Wife

    ayndim replied to bambi147's topic in Ob/Gyn

  9. I was punched

    ayndim replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! I think many nurses don't press charges for various reasons. And unfortunately, until we start pressing charges for assault it will always be swept under the carpet, if possible....

  10. Old Ladies Having Babies

    ayndim replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am 33 and to me I am too old for any more kids. My last pg was just too hard (and he is 14 mos). Can't imagine putting this body through it at 50+. Kids should be in college and I should be...

  11. Why aren't we unionized?

    ayndim replied to leslieanne's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I don't know of one hospital here that is unionized. At least not in the Phoenix

  12. Labor, birth and spectators

    ayndim replied to KRVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it comes as a shock to Dad's but their wishes are irrelevant when mom wants something else. Talk to your MW/Dr. My hubby wanted our boys circed (they weren't) and I threatened to not let...

  13. What is your hospital's policy on supplemental feeding?

    ayndim replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My oldest and youngest both had nipple confusion. They didn't realize that they could take a rubber/silicone nipple. They just flat out refused to have anything to do with a bottle. In fact, I sit...

  14. Should nurses return to wearing uniforms?

    ayndim replied to hellerd2003's topic in General Nursing

    It is not because of being egocentric that nurses should stay in scrubs. It is because when the public sees someone in scrubs they think of medical personnel. So, imho, non-medical personnel should...

  15. Drowning in BIO 202..What to do???

    ayndim replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Every student can get a tutor online! I have used it and it is sort of like instant messaging. It worked for me when I was having trouble in another class. I am assuming you are at Rio....

  16. Should nurses return to wearing uniforms?

    ayndim replied to hellerd2003's topic in General Nursing

    I am only a student but I am going to chime in anyway. Nurses should be in scrubs. Any color. If there is a problem identifying the nurse then non-nursing personnel need to wear different attaire....

  17. CNA class and BIO201/205 homework load

    ayndim replied to mendocino's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am taking them together. Don't do it. If I could go back and do it again I wouldn't take them together, even if it delayed my application to nursing school. It is alot of work and I am doing mine...

  18. What do you recommend?

    ayndim replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am doing bio 201 and 205 together and never ever would I recommend it. You are doing it the right way. It is not that they are terribly hard but the sheer volume of info to remember is...

  19. Retaking classes

  20. Rio A&P class

    ayndim replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am doing the HCC's now. They are a piece of cake. If I wanted to I could probably do the HCC's in a month (those you can accelerate). Plus, the midterm is online and only the final is in person....

  21. Retaking classes

    ayndim replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The rn to bsn is not as hard to get into as the bsn, from what I hear. And I have heard of people with a 3.5 not getting in one semester but someone with a 3.3 getting in another semester. It all...

  22. Rio A&P class

    ayndim replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am taking it online. I haven't taken the midterm yet so I will have to reserve judgement until I am further along. Just a note, you are not allowed to accelerate bio 201, 202 or 205 more than 2...

  23. Best way to learn to do B/P

    ayndim replied to luv4nursing's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Go to the drug store and buy one of the models that people use on themselves. Just make sure to get one you have to listen to (it will come with an attached steth). The instructions are so easy that...

  24. Asu?

    ayndim replied to chuckcamp's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I heard the RN to BSN program was alot easier to get into. I am doing the CC route (ADN) first. First because I have to pay out of pocket and am a SAHM so the cc is cheaper. Second, the cc is...

  25. why a nurse and not a doctor

    ayndim replied to lindskay's topic in General Nursing

    Well I am choosing nursing for a couple of reasons. 1) I want to be a nurse not an MD. 2) I love spending time with my kids, being there for them. I figure as a nurse I can work nights and be gone...
