    mef06011 replied to NoleMercy's topic in General Nursing

    mef06011 replied to areawoman's topic in Post Graduate Students

    heh, amen to that. Its a long story for me too, but here's the 10,000 foot fly-over: I was planning to go into maternal and child public health going into college and was really passionate about...

    mef06011 replied to areawoman's topic in Post Graduate Students

    thanks for checking on that, I'll keep my fingers crossed for the both of us! What brings you to midwifery? It seems the more I ask that question, the more and more I get similar answers...it seems...

  4. Graduate Entry 2011 applicants

    mef06011 replied to areawoman's topic in Post Graduate Students

    nope, nothing. All i know is that my app is complete and has been reviewed and passed on to the nursing school. From what I've read on their site and in other threads invites for interviews typically...

    mef06011 replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi Paco, I called the admissions office about a week ago because of a transcript snaffoo, and the woman I talked with said that our admissions decisions would be released on SOLAR in late january,...

  8. Grieving a perinatal loss

    mef06011 replied to Elvish's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you for your article. As a nursing student (and CNM hopeful) I hope I will not (but expect that I will) have to help parents deal with the inexplicable pain of the loss of a child. I lost my...

  9. SUNY Downstate Accelerated BSN june 2011 class

    mef06011 replied to tomall's topic in New York Nursing

    I've got to tell you, I could not be more frustrated with Downstate right now. Every one of my interactions with them have been terrible. I am planning to become a midwife, and was interested in...

  10. Question for L&D nurses

    mef06011 replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Nursing

    I know a few midwives who have gone through Frontier and absolutely loved it. I'm still waiting to hear back but hopefully Seattle University, but at this point I will go anywhere that accepts

  11. Question for L&D nurses

    mef06011 replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Klone, Thanks for the info. I've never seen one used (the midwives I work with are pretty much exclusively home birth midwives, and I've never been there when they need to transfer) I'm excited to...

  12. Question for L&D nurses

    mef06011 replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, from the original story it seemed unclear as to what the order of events here was. Trust me, I am grateful for the interventions that can help save lives, and I'm still learning, I'm still a...

  13. Question for L&D nurses

    mef06011 replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Nursing

    To clarify, I personally would not use pain management, but do not fault women for it, and absolutely believe in a woman's choice of pain management if it helps her get through her labor. I was...

  14. Question for L&D nurses

    mef06011 replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry that your friend had to go through this stress, but stories like this are perfect examples of why you don't mess with a process that goes fine 98% of the time without any medical...

  15. Seattle University -- APNI 2011

    mef06011 replied to flaneur's topic in Washington Nursing

    I didn't get it either and we applied to the same specialty, Kris, so I'm going to assume that they just sent it to FNP applicants. I know that last year when they first started accepting midwifery...

  16. Johns Hopkins University BSN/MSN Fall 2011

    mef06011 replied to jngnurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    mef06011 replied to jngnurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

  18. Vanderbilt Pre-specialty Fall 2011

    mef06011 replied to SCNP2B's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Trisha, Yeah, if you are at the top of the page I think it says "Fall 2011" and allows you to click on it. It should then take you to a page with your transcripts, recommenders, and GRE scores. If...

  19. Johns Hopkins University BSN/MSN Fall 2011

    mef06011 replied to jngnurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    all this talk about housing is making me anxious. does anyone know when we are supposed to hear, or how? or when regular decision people found out last year? i'm losing it over here.

  20. Vanderbilt Pre-specialty Fall 2011

    mef06011 replied to SCNP2B's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I looked at my online application summary page the other day and it said that none of my transcripts had been received (eeeek!) so I e-mailed the CNM program coordinator and she said that they use an...

  21. Seattle University -- APNI 2011

    mef06011 replied to flaneur's topic in Washington Nursing

    Sounds like you have a lot of experience! I was trying to become a doula, but I'm also a full-time student so it was hard finding time (just finishing up BA in Anthropology and Women's Studies....also...

    mef06011 replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well said, sister. We need more women who will stand up for women's rights, in the workplace and out. I don't think anyone's attacking anyone else, women just stand a lot to lose when people don't...

  23. New grad 30 weeks pregnant and starting on L&D department

    mef06011 replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Are you kidding me? Pregnancy is NOT a "pre-existing condition." Your "screw the nurse" attitude is why men can't be taken seriously when discussing issues of maternity leave. The United States is the...

  24. New grad 30 weeks pregnant and starting on L&D department

    mef06011 replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It IS illegal for them to ask during an interview and is IS illegal for them to terminate you for pregnancy. If you do lose your job and are not given reason, or even if they are stupid enough to tell...

  25. Seattle University -- APNI 2011

    mef06011 replied to flaneur's topic in Washington Nursing

    I hear the immersion class is somewhere around 40ish (correct me if I'm wrong) and their website said that their average GRE score is about 1200 with most of the scores falling between 1000-1500....
