  1. Midwifery School Rankings

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

    I'm sure this list is political in nature. The problem is who's really looking at this list? If it's the employers (i.e. physicians, hosp HR, etc), then at the end of the day, prospective students...

  2. Midwifery School Rankings

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

    Eh. I thought about it. But who wants to be Hopkins prices for a non-Hopkins educaton? I would literally be paying tuition for the name if I went that route. Now, this is assuming that I regard the...

  3. Midwifery School Rankings

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

    Yeah, that sucks. It would've have been perfect for me to attend that school. Oh

  4. L&D floor nurse to CNM....Am I ruining my faith in women?

    zahryia replied to phillies33's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I was just thinking about that the other day. The nurses who seem to have a problem with it are the ones who are NOT CNMs (or studying to become one). Also consider, many lay or CPMs have no L&D...

  5. L&D floor nurse to CNM....Am I ruining my faith in women?

    zahryia replied to phillies33's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm not sure how to read that answer, but I doubt it was helpful to the OP. OP, I'm in a similiar position that you're in. I'm concerned about the birth culture but at the same I plan to do whatever...

  6. HELP!! Interview with peers for L&D

    zahryia replied to anyia's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There you go! At the end of the day, people want to work with nice people who are willing to learn and help

  7. Rumor of a six month 200K RN position in Iraq????

    zahryia replied to pdaddy's topic in General Nursing

    You were probably kidding, but I'm interested in how many private contractors have died and/or been injured. Any stats on

  8. Starting UPenn this summer

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

    Can you give me an idea of how much the starting salaries are for the positions you've seen? Also, are the posted positions just for the Philly area or in the Northeast

  9. How important is L&D experience?

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

    It depends where you apply. For example, Georgetown doesn't require you to have ANY nursing experience. Frontier wants a year of nursing experience (in any specialty) and Columbia wants you to have...

  10. Where to live?

    zahryia replied to LadyQT's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats! Do you have to take

  11. Best places to work as a labor and delivery nurse in new york?

    zahryia replied to allthingsbright's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a former NYer. I wish I could help you. I've never worked as an RN in NY, but you might want to look in mothering forums. I think mothercommune might be one. I find when a lot of mothers...

  12. 80% ABSN tuition scholarships to G'town

    zahryia replied to whodatnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not a bad deal indeed. Unfortunately, or rather fortunately, I already have my RN

  13. L and D Scrubs

    zahryia posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm about to start my new L and D position next week and I wanted to get some advice on scrubs. It looks like my unit gets to wear what they want, which is good and bad. I want to wear something that...

  14. Failed Nclex

    zahryia replied to almostarn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I tend to agree. Some of the best nurses out there (foreign and seasoned) nurses would not pass today's NCLEX because of how the test questions are constructed. I'm not going to say that you...

  15. Having A Nursing School Freak Out!

    zahryia replied to lorenwithano's topic in General Nursing

    I have felt the same exact way the OP felt. Not only did I not have a clinical background prior to nursing school. I never really had anyone living with me to pratice with. I would suggest picking...

  16. Well....I think I'm coming back

    zahryia replied to ShannonSRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Would you mind sharing your wisdom for us newbies in the

  17. what jobs in nursing dont require weekends?

    zahryia replied to soroz's topic in General Nursing

    Beachmom did a good job of covering the types of jobs that wouldn't necessarily require weekends. Public health is a biggie. You'd probably only need 6mos experience. Some outpatient urgent care...

  18. Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

    zahryia replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ditto! This thread helped me tremendously; especially with respect to Addison's and

  19. Failed NCLEX

    zahryia replied to shadow30's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did Kaplan online and it worked for me. Honestly, I didn't even do that many questions, but I would recommend doing as much as possible. As for meds, I suck with those too, but typically you can...

  20. PNP vs. NNP

    zahryia replied to joeb1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You might want to PM SteveRN21. He is working on his

  21. For a hypochondriac RN

    zahryia replied to sundowners2's topic in General Nursing

    Let' see. Right now, I'm suffering from cardiomyopathy and R-sided heart failure. I also have a neurological disorder that I've yet to diagnose. I'll be back

  22. torn between two loves! your opinion:

    zahryia replied to nurse2Bdec08's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow. You sound exactly like me. I struggled between wanting to be a CNM or NNP. I ended up with an L&D position (as a new grad position). I haven't eveb started yet, but I'm already planning my...

  23. going from graduation to L&D

    zahryia replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yeah, that's why I said it depends on the hospital. I can see some unit managers being worried that the applicant might want to be a 'chief' rather than a native american. During my interview, I told...

  24. Checking dilation and effacement

    zahryia replied to JentheRN2007's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess the subjective part is the assessment of the D and E, but as far as delivering an OP baby, I thought it's possible to do it lady partslly. It a'int easy but it's possible. Just curious....

  25. Dealing with personal prejudices?

    zahryia replied to purplepanda's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Great post. I haven't even started my position yet and I'm concerned about this. Taking this job has really opened my eyes as to how judgemental I am towards certain populations and their situations....
