thanks for the list...I was wondering the same thing. Good list!

I am not a nurse yet, but I have had a lady partsl delivery and a C section and know for sure I had fundal checks with both.

I am also in La and I checked into that..but if you have to work..or like in my case, I have children at home during the day it is impossible. It is from 7-4 I think they said. Also you HAVE to sign a 2 yr contract to work at Tulane hospital after you graduate.

Yes, I'm still a student...and there is NO WAY to learn what you need to know from a book alone!

I was in the same situation. I have a degree in Education and I am now a stay at home mom of a 1 yr old and 3 yr old. I did find a program that is supposed to be evening...even though clinicals start at 2 and 3 o'clock, but that was the best I could find. There is no way around going to "real" school..classes and clinicals to become an RN that I know of. good luck

HI, I also have a Bachelors degree in something else and I was just accepted to nursing school. Many of your classes should carry over, but you still have to get the BS in nursing before you can move onto the masters.

I have a BA in Education and with that I had about a 3.0. At delgado for the remaining nursing prereqs I took I have about a 3.75. I was told just to try and get A's or at least B's in A&P1 and 2 and micro..that those weigh more heavily than the other pre reqs. Hopefully you did well on the PAX. Did you use the studyguide book?

Good luck! I remember waiting for my results it is an anxious couple of weeks.

Hi, I just got in for Spring. You can get in with less than a 4.0 but try to do well in micro and the two A&P's. Also make sure you take the PAX before august..b/c anyone who takes it after august won't be considered for fall. I took it last October and got in for Spring.

I'm sure some people do think that. Just like what people think about teaching...that it isn't that much work..which is WRONG. I am a teacher and it is a lot of work for very little money. I guess unless you are actually involved in something you don't really know what it consists of. My aunt was a Labor and Delivery, PP , nursery and NICU nurse. I have heard all about it from her! I also volunteered in a hospital for about 5 years before I started college the first time. I have had 2 children and have tried to make it to every birth in my family..which is MANY..lol. I think of course there will be some things I'll be surprised about and of course A LOT I dont' know yet, but I do have a pretty good idea of what to expect. As of now L&D or post partum are really the only areas I think I'd be really happy in. It is somewhat discouraging though to see ads that all require experience that you can't get unless someone gives you an opportunity. I guess I have 2 more years to go before I have to cross that bridge though:). thanks for all the advice everyone!

Thank you to everyone for your responses. I was getting a little discouraged seeing all these job openings that require experience. thanks

HI, I was just accepted into nursing school and have always wanted to work labor and delivery. My question is how did you all get into L&D when all positions open seem to require a year of L&D experience. thanks for you answers!

Oh good someone else for evening :rotfl: ! Where do you live? I'm on the northshore. Do you know any details about the program? I picked up a fall bulletin yesterday and it looks like semester 3 classes start at 1 and 2 o'clock! i thought it was all in the evening. anyway Congrats!:balloons:

I got my letter today I'm in for Spring. Is anyone else doing the evening program Spring 06?????

Hi, Just wanted to pass along that I know of two people who got their acceptance letters today for spring 06.
