    How to find a job in correctional health?

    cayenne06 posted a topic in Correctional

    I have always had an interest in correctional health, and I am wondering how in the world you find a job in a correctional facility? I am in Mass, and I cannot for the life of me find any job listings...

    Direct Entry Midwifery schools

    cayenne06 replied to Kerrilyst's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just my two cents- I graduated from a direct entry midwifery program in 2006. I am now just about to finish my ASN and I am going back from my CNM next year. At least half my graduating class went...

    Questionable staffing in L&D vs Nursery

    cayenne06 replied to new2manage's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hmm. Babies should stay with their parents if everything is normal, so i think that is the rationale behind what your facility does. What do you think the facility should do differently? As long as...

    Going to nursing school in a different state

    cayenne06 posted a topic in General Students

    I recently moved to Mass, but I am still in school in Ct. When I graduate, I want to get my license in Ma, not Ct. Do I have to get my Ct license and then apply for reciprocity, or can I apply...

    gun safety and children

    cayenne06 posted a topic in General Students

    Let me preface this by saying that I do NOT and would not ever keep guns in my house. However. . . A question on my exam today asked if it was developmentally appropriate for a 10 year old to be...

    gun safety and children

    cayenne06 replied to cayenne06's topic in General Students

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you will get a ton of questions that are completely out of left field, not to mention poorly worded. It is SO annoying. I do very well in school, but I still...

    gun safety and children

    cayenne06 replied to cayenne06's topic in General Students

    Yes, exactly- it really is up for interpretation. Our book does not have a definitive Y/N on whether a child of that age should be taught to use a gun. It mentions gun safety, and (in a different...

    gun safety and children

    cayenne06 replied to cayenne06's topic in General Students

    That is nonsensical. Research has shown that if a kid finds an unsecured gun, chances are they are going to pick it up. I don't want my kids to have access to guns, and my kids know that if they ever...

    I am currently in nursing school with the long term goal of obtaining my CNM. I received my CPM and LM in 2006 but unfortunately had to stop working as a midwife because my daughter was diagnosed with...

    Goodwin RN program - 2011 updates question

    cayenne06 replied to jessica2011's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I am a current Goodwin student, and so far I have been pretty happy with my clinical choices. I don't mind doing "CNA" work (as a pp complained about), and I have always been able to get a clinical...

    The role of CNMs in abortion care

    cayenne06 replied to cthomson's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I know this is an old thread, but I absolutely agree with this post. 1st trimester abortion (medical and surgical) clearly falls under "well woman care" and I honestly think the only reason most...

    Nursing instructors and heart "palpations" ???

    cayenne06 replied to MumblesMahoney's topic in General Students

    Just because someone is an instructor does NOT make them an expert in the field they are teaching. It sucks. I feel like I can no longer trust my teacher's responses because I have heard at least two...

    cnm vs. cpm

    cayenne06 replied to 88nurse2010's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I just started another thread about a similar topic. I am a midwife with an inactive CPM license. I graduated from a MEAC accredited school, and at least half of the women I graduated with went on...

    I had a 4.0 before I entered the program, averaging about 98% on all my tests.I got an A- my first semester in nursing and just barely made an A last semester. I haven't had a test yet this semester...

    Two Sciences in the spring?

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

    Absolutely! I took AP1 and AP2 at the same time, and it was doable- I got an A in both classes. I took Micro with my first semester of nursing, and it was a PITA but totally doable. I have two small...

    Why is there a nurse when you have a midwife with hospital birth?

    cayenne06 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A midwife alone cannot provide all the care a women needs during labor- it is pretty much universal that a midwife has an assistant- either an RN in the hospital or a birth assistant (or RN) in a home...

    Herzing College- Medical Assistant

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

    Well, medical assistants don't get paid much above minimum wage, and you technically don't even need a degree or license to function as a medical assistant. I would hesitate to put any money into a...

    Any advice on how to approach all of the assigned reading?

    cayenne06 replied to MunkeyLuv's topic in General Students

    I go online (or use the cd) and take the chapter review tests. My scores dictate how long I spend reviewing a chapter. My main study technique is to take all the quizzes and tests available to me,...
