  1. Sesame Street Breastfeeding: Moms Push To Bring Nursing Back To TV Show

    microkate replied to lrobinson5's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's wonderful. I really wish we'd see spots like that today. I don't have a problem with people formula feeding if that's what they need to do, but I hate the cultural implication that formula is...

  2. Male nurse in L&D

    microkate replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It wouldn't have bothered me to have a male L&D nurse - as labor goes on you stop caring who sees you anyway. I'd much rather have had a friendly nurse of either sex than the b*tchy old battleaxe...

  3. Are you applying to the May 2011 RN program at MCI VA BEACH????

    microkate replied to Crystal2756's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks, LCSnowdon. I figured it would be pretty basic since it's a 1 credit P/F class. I had to take Bio Freshman Seminar for my BS, so probably similar. It seems silly to have to take, but it is...

  4. Are you applying to the May 2011 RN program at MCI VA BEACH????

    microkate replied to Crystal2756's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I've already got A&P I/II, micro, both english comps, and sociology out of the way. They accepted everything that I wanted to transfer. I'd have been sad if I had to retake them, especially...

    You should be hearing soon - I got a call today that I'm in for days. Hope to see you all at

  6. GRE Prep Advice

    microkate replied to GM2RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Trying the practice tests would be a great idea - the PowerPrep downloads are free, so you'll see where you stand and can plan accordingly. I've never actually seen the Kaplan NCLEX materials (not...

  7. GRE Prep Advice

    microkate replied to GM2RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have high hopes for the new test, but we'll see how it pans out. It's been designed to be a better predictor of grad school and business school success, and certain changes may be pros for one...

  8. GRE Prep Advice

    microkate replied to GM2RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    When do you need your scores? If you take the new GRE after July 31, you won't have scores until November. If you need them before that, I'd sign up ASAP. A lot of students are scrambling to take...

  9. Medical Careers Institute RN Program

    microkate replied to VAmomma's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm glad to hear the responses too, since I'm starting at the MCI-VB campus in January. I already have a BS, and would have preferred to do a second degree BSN, but my husband is in the Navy and this...

  10. Pursuing further education after Medical Careers Institute..

    microkate replied to tony77's topic in Virginia Nursing

    If you are getting the BSN from MCI in Virginia Beach, you should be able to go on to do what you would like afterward. Commission on Colleges lists MCI-VB as fully accredited to award up to a...

  11. What do you call the Doc?

    microkate replied to Flipper911's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have experience on the nursing side (yet), but I did work in research for 8 years as a lab tech. Some PhDs were more formal, some were more casual. I always called them "Dr. Xavier" when...

  12. Mci va beach curriculum outline??

    microkate replied to AMAZONMAMA's topic in Virginia Nursing

    The program is 13 terms, each lasting 5 weeks. You'll need 3 pre-reqs before starting - chemistry, computers and math (algebra or higher). You can take the pre-reqs there if you don't already have...
