  1. Taking 2 online courses at the same time?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to linzipinzi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All the work is submitted online, conversations, essays, assignments, quizzes and tests. Except for English Comp, midterm and final had to be on campus. They give you a syllabus just like a regular...

  2. PNNP vs CNM

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ashleymr1213's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is it something that perhaps could be at the state level? I do billing for midwives and one of them sent in her state certification for OBGYN NP. I was like huh? She said that when she applied for her...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to lolly78's topic in General Students

  4. Taking 2 online courses at the same time?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to linzipinzi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've taken up to 4 courses online at the same time. So 2 in one semester wouldn't make me blink. I think it's great practice for nursing school in that it forces you to be organized and plan, self...

  9. Associates or Bachelors?

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

    So far i think I'm going to try and use Western Governor's University. It's a flat fee per semester, about $4000 and you can go as fast or as slow as you like. My hope is to finish it in a year,...

  10. Associates or Bachelors?

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

    I have a family, 2 kids to care for, and I'll probably have another before I start midwifery school. So I decided to to an ADN program (in my first semester now) and then do the RN to BSN bridge....

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Students

    I'm in my first semester and absolutely love ALL my instructors. There are all different, all with many many years of experience, and all of them seem to hold p/t or per diem jobs. They are all...

  12. Apothecary measures in medicine

    AspiringNurseMW replied to comocean's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    See here's the thing, as a student nurse : My instructor made it very clear that we will likely never use apothecary system of measurement. But NOT being able to recognize it at all would likely lead...

  15. Not Naturally Smart

    AspiringNurseMW replied to happyinmyheart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm "naturally smart". But be thankful you are not and see that as an advantage. I am just in my 2nd week of school and I am already studying more than I ever have. And I know it's only going to get...

  17. How many men in your cohort?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Of just my lecture, there are at least 7/8 out of 50. There are probably another 100 students including lvn to RN and the evening program, and I've seen quite a number of male

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mrhill's topic in General Students

    I'm a first semester (shoot first week) student, and am already seeing how different my study habits are. Maybe because it's so early on but I'm already finding the flash cards and outlining the...

    1st week of school done! I know our school is well respected and we have an nclex pass rate of 90% or higher, and yet nowhere near as stressful as some others posted here. Our nursing manual was...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    AspiringNurseMW replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    Oh nonono. At a recent class I asked the 3 instructors in the room to tell us about their experience /history. My mind was blown. Each and every one of my instructors has at LEAST ONE 15-20 years of...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to sunshiny1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wonder if the OP is just not going to come back because she is not hearing what she wants. I saw this post last night mere minutes after it was posted. I'm a brand spanking new nursing student with...

  25. Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    AspiringNurseMW replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    I think you have an issue with generalizations. Out of the entire 3 pages of answers you had when you posted this, maybe 3 or 4 were from instructors. The rest of them, the vast majority of the...
