  1. African American Hair Problems in Nursing

    AspiringNurseMW replied to desertstar6's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would get them, because box braids, especially fresh, I think look very professional. Especially if worn in an updo. It sucks that's it's your dream job, because if it were me, idk that I'd want to...

  2. Taking RN pre reqs while in LPN program?

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

    Thanks, I don't know that they have a wait list, at least none that I've heard of. The only true prerequisites are HIGHSCHOOL biology, chemistry, and algebra. Math 101 has to be completed prior to...

  5. "Pre-requisite" of being a labor and delivery nurse/midwife-being a mom?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Bluebell.'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    Nope. I know when talking to women who are choosing a doula or possibly interviewing a midwife if choosing a homebirth that they initially feel that they would prefer someone who has been through the...

  6. Taking RN pre reqs while in LPN program?

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

    Don't say that! Well I know it's really competitive but they also have very easy admission so I think the *actual* pool of students that are truly eligible is small. I say this because you can be a...

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

    AspiringNurseMW replied to mama12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm fluctuating between knowing my scores and GPA are high enough that I can be pretty sure I got in (or so everyone keeps telling me at school) and omg I have 10 weeks of anxiously waiting to see if...

  10. Too old for BSN?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to forever88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wondered this too at first, I'm 27 with 2 kids. I'll be 29 by the time I get my ADN, and probably 35-38 by the time I reach my goal of becoming a Nurse Midwife. Then I came to all nurses and...

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

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ramosyasmin16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school is the same way. The only Pre reqs are HS algebra, Chem, and bio and College math 101. So if I get in next fall it will take me 3 years total because there is no way I'm trying to take...

  18. A&P 1 lecture or lab? Whats harder?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to TIffany1579's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    See for me lecture was easier. But I retain information really easily and understanding function was very interesting me. For lab for A&P 1 we had histology/tissues/cells and bones. For the...

  23. How to become an OB/GYN after receiving a BSN

    AspiringNurseMW replied to breneern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually did not know that. For some reason I thought WHNP had a wider scope outside of birth . I don't know where that idea was based in. I think what I really meant to say was pursuing a DNP or...

  24. How to become an OB/GYN after receiving a BSN

    AspiringNurseMW replied to breneern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Depends on what in OBGYN you want to do and what type of provider you want to be. I have no interest in going to medical school and being a OBGYN. I want to deal with mainly low risk pregnancies and...
