    cayenne06 replied to dorie43rn's topic in Travel

    So you are getting 1200 total, including the stipend? What about moving expenses? I am not a travel nurse, but that doesn't sound very impressive to

    Concierge Nursing

    cayenne06 replied to miropp's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Actually, what you are describing does NOT sound like a midwife- it sounds like a doula or monitrice. Doula work is perfectly within your scope; monitrice work gets tricky because you are actually...

    I had an amniotic sac rupture right onto my head once. It was crazy, and oddly an experience I remember fondly- almost like I was being baptized! Anyway, yes you will be splashed! Luckily I have...

    Money for existing RN's (special loan forgiveness. programs etc)

    cayenne06 replied to Jason15215's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated and I have a ton of debt too. My plan is to follow the "snowballing" idea- pick your most pressing debt (highest interest, or whatever) and aggressively pay that off while making...

    I'm very confused!!!!

    cayenne06 replied to swiles1252's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, sorry but the reality is that if you already have a family, it is very difficult to get through 4 years of school before you can sit for the boards. I am glad I did my ASN first, because I...

    WGU

    cayenne06 replied to Sapphirestarr's topic in Western Governors University

    I am fairly certain you have to actually be employed as an RN to be accepted into the RN-BSN program. I passed my boards on Jan 26th, and am starting WGU in April. I remember my enrollment counselor...

    Readiness Assessment?

    cayenne06 posted a topic in Western Governors University

    I took my readiness assessment last Monday, and it occurred to me today that I never found out my results. I thought I read somewhere that they would email you the results in a day or so. I can't...

    cayenne06 replied to rmkieft's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Many places will hire you as a Medical Assistant or NA without certification if you are a nursing student. I worked as a MA for a while without ever being certified. Being 28, I am assuming you have...

    cayenne06 replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But there should be. ESPECIALLY for preventative care. It is in society's best interest to promote health among our citizens- even those too poor to pay themselves, and even those whose lifestyles...

    Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    cayenne06 replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Because it is a HUGE, huge public health issue. You getting hit by a car certainly sucks big time, but contraception/reproduction has an incredible impact on society as a whole. Thus our gov't has a...

    Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    cayenne06 replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    BCP are definitely a health care issue. The problem is that morality, ethics and opinion are very hard to tease out of the whole sex/contraceptive debate. So you can talk yourself blue in the face,...

    I need help with prioritization.

    cayenne06 replied to Liebchen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When I have trouble with prioritizing, I think it helps to look at the symptoms ("defining characteristics") instead of the medical dx. It doesn't tell you much just to know that your t has...

    Dermatology office pays $13/hour

    cayenne06 replied to 50kn's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Entry level pay for a new nurse, even in the less expensive parts of the US, is NOT 13 dollars an hour! The OP should not take this job, and you should look for a new one! Entry level salary in my...

    cayenne06 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. This is unbelievable to me! A good night's sleep is SO critical to health and well being. Very frequently, it is possible to schedule meds, assessments etc before 2200 and after 0600. Of course,...

    cayenne06 replied to canadiandude's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Most likely all you will be asked to do is take vitals and stand in the corner. Don' worry, you won't be touching anyone's genitals in an L&D capacity as a nursing student. HOWEVER. You should...

    cayenne06 replied to mumlauf's topic in Australia, New Zealand
