  1. Esme welcome back!!!!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to emtb2rn's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Esme! So happy you are back! And yes my motivations are partially selfish, as I start nursing school in 2 months and will require your wisdom!

  2. Need study tips

    AspiringNurseMW replied to rmaddox's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What did you get wrong, is it a type of question, wrong rationale, similar content. Study different, how were you studying before and incorporate different techniques. Study smarter, not just

  3. What would you have done? Episiotomy

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Starting my program in the fall, so this is not a HW question. I only just now got around to watching this video even though I've heard about it for months now. Video makes me sick, maybe its...

  4. Please don't call me Dude

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The I'm not your dude comments got thinking of Im not your friend, buddy! I'm not your buddy, guy! I'm not your guy,

  5. What would you have done? Episiotomy

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think we should all get together, hound some celebrities for some money, and open a birthing center together,

  6. i dislike med surg

    AspiringNurseMW replied to dcwang's topic in General Students

    Idk. I think your expectations play alot into it too. I'm starting nursing school in the fall and I expect med surge to be difficult, and right now it's not my dream job, but I refuse to expect to...

  7. Where's my planner nerds at?!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    I have yet to start school, but I have ordered a planner from Petunia Paper, she used to buy EC and started designing her own. It's specific for nursing students. It's only a PDF so you have to get it...

  8. Pay grade: experienced nurse vs new grad

    AspiringNurseMW replied to rehric00's topic in General Nursing

    I'm mad for you, it would probably explain that turnover rate...... Which might also explain the similar wage for new nurses? Nobody wants to work there so they hope to entice and hold on to newer...

  9. ADN vs BSN Battle

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Idk. Since joining AN I'm kind of over this debate. ASN vs BSN is going to depend on your situation, your location, and your goals. For me, I chose the ASN because as a mother of two, it's way more...

  10. ADN vs BSN Battle

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    See but this is specific to you, your school and your area. There are some locations, including mine, where the ADN program is the gold standard, has the highest number of applicants despite the...

  11. What would you have done? Episiotomy

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    [quote=Lev Please please please do not shy away from homebirth /birth center the first time around. It's unfortunate that to have a evidence based birth experience often requires a combination of a...

  12. What would you have done? Episiotomy

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hearing from patients does not constitute evidence. There is overwhelming amount actual scientific evidence that shows that natural tearing is far better for women than episiotomies. I hope that for...

  13. Should I stay or should I go?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to LifeIsGood76's topic in General Students

    I think you have to also remember that nursing is quite different in a hospital setting vs out of hospital. Perhaps see if you can shadow a nurse during the summer in different hospital positions,...

  14. Nursing School & Trying to Conceive

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Bridge08t's topic in General Students

    We are pretty sure we want baby #3 sometime in the future. But I need would really like to have maternity leave and benefits. So my plan is to start and complete my ADN program, graduate May '17. Then...

  15. What do you think?

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

    Really, I get that you want advice, but there isn't any for us to give you. Each individual school is going to have their own policies, so our experiences are going to be irrelevant to you. We can't...

    Still thinking of you, hope you are on the road to

  17. What would you have done? Episiotomy

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really really hope her case causes at the very least some conversations with women who aren't aware. There is just so much wrong with our obstetrical care in the US, it makes my brain hurt. And of...

  18. Nursing School with Baby ... Possible?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to amae519's topic in General Students

    When I started my prerequisites my girls were 8 months and 3.5. I took 17 credits, worked part time, and my boyfriend works full time night shift, so he's not around to help most evenings when I pick...

  19. Who has liability insurance?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ajmclean's topic in General Students

    My nursing program requires we each purchase our own student liability

  20. What would you have done? Episiotomy

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would answer a resounding no. Because had she had true informed consent, her decision might be different. Informed consent is not retroactive. And I think evidence-based practices on episiotomies...

  21. What would you have done? Episiotomy

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just curious, how do you know her tearing would have been that bad? Generally tears that occur naturally heal better and faster than an

  22. NOTES...how do you take yours?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to jkblevins's topic in General Students

    Nope, I totally found this true during my prerequisites. If I typed up notes I was pretty much typing verbatim and starting spacing out. Writing things by hand helps me retain and process, especially...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You have to be my twin. I feel the SAME about practicing as a CNM, to help impact the birth culture at large, imo, women who are seeking homebirth are already way ahead of the curve. It took me a...
