   LaceElaine replied to koots19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I was accepted to all three. I had a pre-req GPA of 3.6 plus 2 years of volunteer work at The Med Center. I wouldn't recommend Methodist for transfer students. Not that it's a bad school, it's just...

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

   Yes, you're right. I suppose, I meant to say that to become a midwife, in my state you must become a CNM by obtaining a master's degree at minimum. Although, some other states require much less to...

10. Accepted into Nursing School

    LaceElaine replied to yourPhutureNurse_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! :) if you have the time, get your CNA if you haven't already. Not the biggest deal but it does help. A lot of people recommend that you relax and take it easy before you start and that's...
