  1. Mandatory flu shots????

    phoenixnim replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I hear you. When I found out that they mandated the flu shot across the board locally where I live I was pretty peeved about it too because I have never gotten one, and am afraid of adverse reactions...

  2. Needing advice on being a nurse! Especially Moms going through school

    phoenixnim replied to MizMaverick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a single Mom. I never had a choice but leaving my kids at a young age in order to support my little family. We are all fine. We are still attached and have a good relationship. They love their...

    phoenixnim replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hold an A currently but got a 87% on first test. There were questions on the test that were not part of any assignments or lectures. I challenged the teacher and he said if I though critically...

  4. Online Statistics Class?

    phoenixnim posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Has anyone taken an online statistics class? How did you do on it? What sort of math is involved with statistics? I haven't taken a math in about 10 years. The last time was College Alegbra, which...

  5. Online Statistics Class?

    phoenixnim replied to phoenixnim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Discipline isn't much of a problem. I've taken several online classes already, all in writing. But even with chem now, which I go to campus for, I will look up practice problems and seek out online...

  6. Confused about nursing program Gpa requirements

    phoenixnim replied to bean-toes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most schools allow you to re-take classes and they will post the higher grade on your transcript. This is a good way to change your GPA. Also, some schools look at both, the culmative GPA and the...

  7. CNM Path after non-nursing Bachelors and JD

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

    I'm going for a CNM as well. I don't advise getting your AA. Most masters programs want you to have your BSN in nursing. There are a couple of online schools that have a bridge program from RN to...

  8. Pre-Nursing Worries - Anyone Else Experiencing This?

    phoenixnim replied to usfgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, definitely take the career test! I know at my school they have specific career advisors. The test I took was broken down into like 5 sections I think, based on personality, life goals, money...

  9. Pre-Nursing Worries - Anyone Else Experiencing This?

    phoenixnim replied to usfgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I waver sometimes, because science has never been a strong suite for me. But my end goal isn't nursing, it's nurse-midwifery. Which sometimes helps push through, and other times I get agitated...

  10. Funny/ Useful Memory Tips for Human Anatomy

    phoenixnim replied to Bach4231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mnemonics are awesome! I just got done reading a book about a midwife's memoirs and she has a whole chapter about mnemonics they would come up with during nursing school. I was studying note cards...

  11. Community College

    phoenixnim replied to youngz93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends. Each college has it's own list of pre-reqs. Check into the schools you want to transfer too, as well as their transfer policies. Some community colleges have articulation...

    phoenixnim replied to ashley0511's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome question! I'll be in the same boat. I don't plan on trying to get into the program for two years yet, as I'm working on pre-reqs while I'm working full time. But once in the program, I was...

  14. Almost entire class failed Anatomy test!

    phoenixnim replied to LMcV's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So true! I haven't been to the gym in months. I have two little ones at home too. So far my GPA is okay... but I haven't taken any of the harder sciences yet. I agree with waiting until you guys...

  16. Struggling with Chemistry

    phoenixnim replied to mswtruth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with practice and practice. And I have to say that the factor label method helps a lot to visually see what needs to be cancelled out in the equation in order to get the correct units in the...

  18. The Best Path to CNM?

    phoenixnim posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hello! I am hoping for some feedback and/or opinions, or personal stories of the best path to CNM. I guess, I will start with my background. I'm in my early 30's and I've taken college courses on...

  19. The Best Path to CNM?

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

    Thank you! I have mapped out a possible course schedule that does allow some summers/months open for doula work. I'm also hoping to work with a local homebirth DEM, and assist her, during a time...

  20. CNM or CPM? Opinions/advice??

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

    I completely resonate with midwifetobe85. I decided on the CNM track. But I do plan on shadowing or assisting a DEM midwife as well to have that extra OOH birth experience. My ultimate goal is to...

  23. How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    phoenixnim replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It took me forever to figure out what I want to be when "I grow up." I had taken courses on and off at the community college, and I dropped out my second semester in, earning W's and one F. I...

  24. Anybody have Plan B?

    phoenixnim replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No Plan B here either. I have a lot riding on this. My dream is to be a nurse-midwife. If I don't get in, I can always go back to some secretary job or something, continue to take doula clients...

  25. Doula training and certification?

    phoenixnim replied to hopkinsk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been working on the birth doula certification with Childbirth International. I like the program because it's all online so I can easily work on it when I have some spare time. I have completed...
