Anyone else waiting for acceptance? Or already accepted to start at Georgetown in the Fall?

Have you seen this article? Would love to hear your thoughts on it. Evening primrose oil: “Don't use it if you are pregnant?” | VBAC Facts

I'm starting nursing school in May and trying to sort out which stethoscope to get too. My school requirements say to have a stethoscope that has a bell and a diaphragm... so would the tunable diaphragm on the Littman be okay? I'm trying to figure o...

Kapplan Medical Flash cards. They are amazing! I brought them with me everywhere. I had to do all bones and muscles in one month, same test. I got an A on that test and an A overall for the class. Just have to study a lot! I would write the nam...

You don't have to be a volunteer doula. You could make it your job. Obviously, you have to do what is best for you and there are so many variables to that equation. But that is an amazing opportunity that your Dad is an OB and open to having doula...

Single Mom here. I started the pre-req road 2 years ago when my youngest was still basically a baby. I'm in my last semester before starting the program and my kids are 5 & 3. My daughter loves hearing all about what I am learning. They also ...

I made some notes on your list. Many schools have you complete all pre-reqs and gen. eds. prior to starting the actual nursing program. Pre-reqs generally are about 2 years worth of schooling, depending on how you break it down. It is a really ...

I wasn't entirely sure where this question should be posted. I have been trying to research it, but am still kind of confused. This isn't something I have to worry about right now, because I still have about 2 years to go, but I always like to plan...

so many of us having to take A&P II and micro together. Good luck all around!! I'm taking a super accelerated painting course over two weekends in the winter semester to satisfy my last last art req. Spring: A&P II Micro Bio History And then...

Kapplan Medical Flash Cards saved my life in A&P I.

I did it!! I thought for sure I'd end up with an A- in A&P I, but I did really well on the last two tests and got an A!! 4 A's (A&P I, Nutrition, Sociology & Art Therapy)!!!!!

Have an A- with 2 more lecture tests and one last lab practical to go. Almost there!!!

My A&P I class we had to know ALL of the bones and all of the parts on the bones, such as fossas, tubercles, condyles, epicondyles, the foramens, etc. We also had to know the tarsal and carpal bone names. Kaplan Medical flash cards saved my lif...

Another vote for Chem first. There has been a lot of chem related things that have come up in A&P and I am SO glad I took Chem last spring. I know I'd be struggling a lot more had I not done chem first.

Yes, another A&P freak out post. I'm sorry. We are starting bones in A&P Lab today. I read through the chapters we are to cover today. And my mind can't seem to stop freaking out about ALL the stuff I need to learn, all the little crevic...

Thanks everyone. I'm still kind of freaking out. I seem to do okay with matching when I have a word bank. But I can't seem to come up with most names off the top of my head yet and we start muscles this week! I don't feel confident in bones at al...

It's too bad we don't live closer! Dimensional Analysis is a stronger suit of mine. It takes a little longer and can be sort of a pain, but make sure you write everything out in order to see what you need to cross out/convert in order to get to the...

THANK YOU!!!!!!! I'm doing this site now and it's awesome!!!

You're amazing! Thank you! I completely agree with the last paragraph and that was the tough decision I came to before starting this semester. I'm on the wait list for daycare help. I reached out to my kids' Dad. He usually isn't super helpful, b...

I save note cards for main topics/terms, things that another person can quiz me on. I have the Kaplan flash cards for bones. And the coloring book... I think I'm just freaked out about the time. I even have several days a week slated for study tim...

Here you go. :-) http://www.midwife.org/documents/ACNMonDNP.pdf

It is not true that CNM (Certified Nurse-Midwife) will soon need a PhD. ACNM does NOT support the change and they have released several notices on their stance that they feel a masters degree is sufficient for entry-level midwifery. Just an FYI. I'...

Depends on what specialty you are looking at for your end goal. My friend is currently in nursing school and I feel that her experience as a doula gives her the background of working personally with patients. I'm a doula and on the last bit of pre-...

I spoke with an admissions counselor there in the past year and they do accept doula work as experience. :-) I hope you will be able to post here on your experience with Georgetown. They are one of the schools I am considering. I'm still working o...

Waiting for first lecture test grade to be posted. Took it on Friday. I'm pretty confident I got an A, just not sure where in the range I fell. I have 100% average from quizzes so far in lecture, and 86% average in quizzes in lab. It's tough beca...
