  1. Vanderbilt Grad Entry 2012 Application

    blackbird singing replied to blackbird singing's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm pretty sure that you can still apply without taking all the pre-reqs, but from what I have heard, your application won't have much weight if you still haven't done ANY of them by that time. Truth...

  2. Can a CNM partner with a FNP who does not have hospital privileges?

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

    Maybe a general practice doctor or a family practice doctor? I found this thread, and the bottom line is that it seems they are required to have some sort of agreement with a doctor or hospital....

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

    From American College of Nurse Midwives: http://www.midwife.org/siteFiles/legislative/Missouri_09.pdf Just curious, are you saying it's illegal for OBs to partner with CNMs? Or are you saying that it...

  4. PCTs - How many patients?

    blackbird singing replied to honeymylovely's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I work days on medsurg floor with 40 beds. If there is a full floor, we will probably have 3 pcts, but if there are 25-30ish pts, probably only 2. I know at nights, the cut off is 24 pts and if it's...

  6. Marquette Direct Entry MSN 2012

    blackbird singing replied to MissHolland's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Also, I was just looking more at their FAQs and they said you have to submit your app before you can send your transcript or GRE scores, or you risk them being lost. ooops! hope I don't have to resend...

  7. Marquette Direct Entry MSN 2012

    blackbird singing replied to MissHolland's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Mine is basically the same structure as yours: about midwifery, with a bit about how I came to be interested in nursing. I also discussed my goals as a CNM, not necessarily as a nurse (even though...

    blackbird singing replied to sunnyprice's topic in General Nursing

  9. Marquette Direct Entry MSN 2012

  10. Advice about Vanderbilt ANP program

    blackbird singing replied to king_nurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Amanda! I know this is less than a month away, and I don't know if you could even make it, but I went to this info session Vandy put on last fall and I found it VERY helpful! I am in the process of...

  11. Marquette Direct Entry MSN 2012

    blackbird singing replied to MissHolland's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi! I'm applying to Marquette, too! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought we didn't apply to a specialty until the spring of our prespecialty year? I am also interested in nurse midwifery, but can we...

  12. Leave first job because of rotating?

    blackbird singing replied to EDnursetobe's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone rotates like that? That seems very difficult to deal with re: sleeping issues... You should ask your co-workers how they deal with it rotating back and forth. And I agree to look for a new...

    blackbird singing replied to justme83's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    American College of Nurse Midwives' Position on the required DNP: http://www.midwife.org/documents/ACNMonDNP.pdf Basically, they don't support it as an entry to practice "at this

    blackbird singing replied to danceluver's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi dancing nurse! *waves* I'm sure you know about emory and vandy. I'm pretty sure they are the only ones..back from my obsessive researching days a year or so ago. But good news is I was googling...

    blackbird singing replied to CNA/glorified maid's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Congrats CNA hopeful!! Now you can change your username! (as long as you still have that option and you haven't already changed it once this year :) haha) Here in Ohio it took about 1 week after I...

  16. the anticipation is making me nervous

    blackbird singing replied to Weezy24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It is VERY normal! It's natural to be nervous, it's something you have never done before. But you are all in the same position: your classmates are all new to this, too. Your instructor knows you...

  17. When working in the hospital Which Floor is the Best Floor

    blackbird singing replied to cscott123412's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    agree with the med/surg! I'm only 5 weeks in and I already feel like I have learned a ton! And I see such a variety of patients. But, I do have to agree with what else is said here: go for what you...

  18. I worked as a caregiver before taking up nursing. Advice on resume please?

    blackbird singing replied to jobhunting's topic in General Nursing

    I would list the agencies and professional orgs that hired you. I wouldn't worry about if they are still in existence. However, if it is 25 different places, I would just do a general...

    blackbird singing replied to carluvscats's topic in General Nursing

    HAHAHA thank you for

  20. Possible to pass CNA exams with this book and youtube videos?

    blackbird singing replied to clubwestpua's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, lucky you can take it without the class. Given your experience, I definitely think you could pass with just the book and the videos. I would also encourage you to practice, step by step, reading...

  21. what's the difference?

    blackbird singing replied to agrj's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yeah, that's why I am wondering if my answer was even relevant. I wasn't meaning to sound rude or snarky, and I apologize if it came off that way. But she was asking about CPMs, LMs and DEMs, which is...

  22. what's the difference?

    blackbird singing replied to agrj's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Okay, first, CPMs and LMs don't even work with RNs so it's irrelevant to compare the two. Second, what do you use to determine who is "higher" ? Is it education level? If so, sure, CNMs are higher...

  23. Pct refused delegation

    blackbird singing replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    I Can't believe she refused to empty the bag. I am a PCA and I have to do that, and it is not outside of our scope of practice. The first time I had someone there to make sure I was doing it...

  24. what's the difference?

    blackbird singing replied to agrj's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I agree, go to the MANA website. None of them are higher than RNs. They are only required to have a high school degree and then many do on-their-own study and an apprenticeship. A CPM has met the...
