Hey guys! Do any of you all know of a CNM program that does not require one to be an RN first or do bedside nursing? After doing a lot of research, I really don't think bedside nursing is for me. However, I really want to become a CNM and would also...

Does anyone have any insight on the university of Mary Hardin-Baylor?

Thank you for the info! I have narrowed it down to either Frontier or Georgetown. Since I am still working on my BSN, I am going to stay open to which grad school to go to. I also spoke with my nursing adviser this morning and she too mentioned Front...

A lot of the programs I have spoken with will accept students with any hospital experience. They understand that L&D units are really hard to get into. Also, Georgetown told me that they will not penalize an applicant for doing an ADN then bridgi...

Thank you for the reply! I didn't look at it like that. I think I was just trying to find a speedy way to get to the end. However, experience takes time. Who knows, I may find that I love bedside nursing once I start! Besides, I want to be the best N...

Oh my goodness people, yes I have shadowed RNs. Yes, I am unsure which path I should take (there are only a million to choose from). Please, excuse me for posting a question on a public forum instead of doing my own research about different programs....

*nor am I Have to love autocorrect!

That is not what is making my mind up, which I am still at a cross road. Sorry if it seemed as though I was only utilizing crowd-sourcing as my primary information route - not the case. Obliviously, any posts on a forum are going to be negative becau...

Thank you so much for the info! I am actually more interested in the prenatal care than I am actually delivering the babies. At first, I was looking into becoming an OB-GYN; however, after some research, I found that a CNM/WHCNP would be a much bette...

I agree with this. It will give you experience and pay most, if not all, your student loan debt.

You will need to find which BSN program you want to do. Then, contact them and ask what prereqs you need and what will transfer.

Sorry, I can only offer sympathy. There are a ton of RN jobs around here. However, they are all for experienced RNs

I took Intro to Philosophy online and it was a lot of reading and discussion boards. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the class. I thought it was fun to argue different topics from different philosopher's view points.

Hi All!! I wanted to start a new thread to see if there are any other military spouses out there. I am about to start my last semester of prereqs for the BSN program close to Fort Hood. I am so excited and would love to hear everyone else's story, s...

HA! I was originally going to school for teaching; but, since TX has put a hold on hiring public teachers, I thought I should look into other careers. The responsibility nurses have terrified me at first. Then, after I took A&P, I realized this i...

I would make sure the General Bio will transfer. Most likely, it will; but you will need to make sure. Now, for how challenging the schedule will be. Introductory level bio and chem are pretty easy. Also, general psych and sociology seem like the sam...

Also, in some states, hospitals use private companies to screen potential employees. If your name lands on the "should not hire" list, you will not be able to get a job at any hospital that uses that company.

Never burn bridges. Once, in high school, I had a well paying office job. However, being young, I quit without notice and that placed me on the do not rehire list. Then, about 4 years later, I tried applying for a position in that company. Guess what...

I definitely agree with this.

Scott and White in Temple does usually have positions open and will hire new grads with a BSN. Metroplex in Killeen will hire new ADN grads if you work as a nurse tech. I've heard Scott and White is a really good hospital to work for.

This is so interesting! With both my children, (I had c-sections) the dr pulled baby out, showed me baby, baby was weighed and all that. Then, went to the nursery with dad and had bath. Then they joined me in recovery. I was really young when I had m...

I am hoping to finish prereqs here and do NS when we PCS. The not knowing where we will be next year has been killing me!

I just transferred to CTC from UMHB bc childcare expense. (Long story lol) I'm taking A&P II this semester and everything else online. :)

I've never taken medical terminology. However, I did get an A in A&P. Extra classes never hurt; but I don't think it is necessary.

I think it depends on how demanding your other classes will be. Also, a lot of schools won't let you take them together. If you have good study habits, I don't think you will have a problem.
