  1. Better off single?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to westcounty's topic in General Students

    I don't know if that's entirely true, it could be a true fear. People come here all the time of worrying about whether they'll be able to balance school/family /work, this is not much different. She's...

  2. Need Advice in Deciding between LPN or RN

    AspiringNurseMW replied to annabellarose77's topic in General Students

    Talk to the actual nursing counselors/admissions office at the school offering the BSN. Would a 3.0 guarantee acceptance or is that what you need to apply. Because if that is what you need to apply,...

  3. Luzerne County Community College, Pennsylvania

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mal88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any of the accepted students get their schedule

  4. Torn

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Kaligirl02's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you have no family to care for/huge bill you would fall behind, and can survive for 4 months, go for ICU. I think it will be well worth it and in the span of life 4 months is absolutely nothing. 4...

  5. How to study

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Ruthy95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First find out what type of studying works for you. Look up VARK

  6. What do you do when you realize nursing is not for you?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to JJ1994's topic in General Students

    Honestly if you've invested all this time and money why not try it. Doesn't mean you have to stop your search for other jobs. From my experience reading these forums for the past 2 years and clinicals...

  7. Quit great job to stay home with baby?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Sangrita RN's topic in Nursing Career

    I worked at a birth center for about 9 months. I was in a fluctuating role and did alot when it came to office and insurance, initiated quite a few procedures/methods to increase work flow, played a...

  8. stuck.

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

    Depending on where you live, ADN programs can be harder to get into than BSN, so I would rethink that line of thought. So it's going to depend on where you live and how far you are willing to travel....

  9. Quit great job to stay home with baby?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Sangrita RN's topic in Nursing Career

    I would start putting out feelers for p/T PRN postpartum and /or lactation jobs. With my first I stayed home for 4 months. Only two of those months were paid but it was worth it. After that I couldn't...

  10. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

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

    I figure that'll be me. Although I have lucked out and work from home, and have 2 kids under 5. Last semester, I took 17 credits and it made me super organized. I wrote out notes for all my A&P...

  11. CPM to CNM

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

    Congratulations!

  12. would three B's effect me from getting into a nursing program

    AspiringNurseMW replied to javierh93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is going to depend on your school and how they weigh things and how competitive it is. For some school you'd be fine, for others no

  14. What is the freaking deal with OB?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mavrick's topic in General Students

    Maybe because they think of the "magic" around birth. I see alot of women who had a good experience or even a bad one where the nurse made a difference be inspired to do the same. I am along those...

  15. CPM to CNM

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

    Yea, ummmm no. Frontier requires a specific amount of births to be attended as primary, I worked at a birth center where we had a Frontier student and she made sure she kept pretty open on call so...

  16. Which states are CNMs permitted to do homebirths?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to moonredlife's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ditto for VBAC at home here too. I knew that VBAC would be a safer option for me, especially because I desire more children in the future. I knew even before I got pregnant I would NOT VBAC in a...

  17. Rare birth: Baby born completely encased in amniotic sac

    AspiringNurseMW replied to guest769224's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I worked at a birth center for 9 months and it happened twice while I was there, but to me it makes sense since birth centers/and midwives are more off-hands and usually avoid

  18. I can't do this anymore . . .

  19. How can I improve my reputation?

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

    First off, I'm not an RN. So you can take my opinion with a grain of salt. My question is you are getting all of this from what ONE CNA told you she heard? Who cares? Do the nurses you currently work...

  20. So excited!

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in General Students

    In 2 weeks, I get my Fall nursing schedule, in a month, I will attend my official nursing school orientation and a month after that I start my 6 week summer Intro to Nursing class. Somewhere in...

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

    Jeez louise I can't wait to be done with Micro. I love sciences got AN a in A&P 1 headed for an A in A&P 2 but I think my teacher is what is driving me mad. Gives a lot of busy work, goes off...

  22. Don't know what to with A&P class

    AspiringNurseMW replied to tyty123's topic in General Students

    My A&P 2 professor is KILLER. His tests are legends, he is slightly sadistic in the way he enjoys making them. And I got a 99% on the last one. You can't treat every class the same, you have to...

  23. Calling all Frontier CNM students

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

    The *only * reason I am pretty much decided on NOT doing the bridge is because I want to be awarded my BSN *just in case *. I case life happens and I'd have to put a pause on or withdraw from...

  24. Starting my pre reqs may 18th!

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

    I think you should consult your school first before choosing Mac or PC.... Sometimes, although not often some programs will not run on both systems. I didn't run into this problem during prerequisites...

  25. Will green skin hurt my career?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm over here singing the incorrect lyrics to the song from Eiffel 65 "I'm blue if I were green I would die, if I were green I would die......"
