  1. Four years to earn an ADN :/

    AspiringNurseMW replied to mdiada's topic in General Students

    I think you're really smart to do it this way to graduate with minimal or no loans. VERY smart. yes, you may get a BSN in the same time frame, but the graduating without debt is highly commendable. My...

  2. Nursing program acceptance question

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

    Depends on your school. My school deadline for Fall 2015 was December 15, 2014. So as long as all your info was submitted by that date, you could turn in your application whenever. I'd be a little...

  3. I really need advice please!

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

    I agree it's worth it to go for LPN. once you get the CMA that's it, you can't really build on that. And if it isn't your goal then it's really a waste of money. However, I do suggest you find a way...

  4. Going from a University TO a CC?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to haelimjeong95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also consider that most schools require that you take both A&P 1 and 2 at the same

  5. Going from a University TO a CC?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to haelimjeong95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow. That's a horrible cc, mine is nothing like that. In fact the graduates from the nursing program at my cc are well respected and sought after. To the OP, Do your research, perhaps ask the...

  6. What Websites Are You Guys Using?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Concerto_in_C's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Where I live, best bet is going straight to the facility's

  7. Which courses should i take for my pre-nurse classes

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

    Speak to your advisor. Every school has their own requirements of what classes to take prior to entry to the nursing program. Usually it consists of. English, Math, anatomy and Physiology, sometimes...

  8. Translator for patients

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

    Totally understand that, but the point I am trying to make, is that even though an LPN or CNA might be proficient in another language, say Spanish, it doesn't mean that they are proficient at...

  9. Male nurse midwife

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Eyalslevy's topic in Men in Nursing

    Wow just wow. Politics noise mess and drama? If that's the case why would a male get involved in the politics noise mess and drama of nursing at all, after all it is a female majority profession. I...

  10. Translator for patients

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

    I'm just a prenursing student but I will say this. I am fluent in Spanish and one time while waiting in the ER with my dad I saw a nurse having difficulty communicating with a patient and I jumped in...

  11. Male nurse midwife

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Eyalslevy's topic in Men in Nursing

    Agreed

  12. Male nurse midwife

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Eyalslevy's topic in Men in Nursing

    I definitely don't mean the model of care is similar, I mean the similarities in their role and scope of practice, outside of performing surgery when it comes to low risk pregnancy and birth and...

  13. Difference in RN education

    AspiringNurseMW replied to azalight90's topic in General Students

    You are totally right, our maternity health care system sucks. Many developed countries whose mortality rates are better than the US actually have midwives attending most low risk births. USA ranks...

  14. Difference in RN education

    AspiringNurseMW replied to azalight90's topic in General Students

    Actually the majority of nurse midwives in the US work in regular OBGYN offices and deliver at hospitals. The majority of the midwives that attend birth center and homebirths and Certified...

  15. Male nurse midwife

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Eyalslevy's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm sorry, but if OP is in the US and considering working at a practice and hospital, then OB is actually a similar role in the sense that they see patients through prenatal care and have shifts on...

  16. What is the draw to nursing these days

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    It took me 3 years to finally get around to applying to nursing school. When I was first considering it, I lived in NYC and was blissfully unaware of the glut that exists there. However I think that...

  17. Male nurse midwife

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Eyalslevy's topic in Men in Nursing

    Midwives known as madwives? I don't see how that possibly helps the OP answer his questions. A male midwife is uncommon, however in a hospital setting I don't see why not, just as many OB s are male....

  18. Male nurse midwife

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Eyalslevy's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's not about being a choice, it needs to be something you WANT to do? WHY are you considering

  19. Study tips for A and P classes and micro.

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

    First and foremost figure out what kind of studying suits you best. Take what is called a VARK quiz/test online. Then form study habits from there. For me I am mostly a Read/write and Visual learner....

  21. RN first or BSN first?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Louise Henaut's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Unless finances are super important to you I say go the BSN route, just be careful not to rack up too much debt with

  22. Med Surg & Micro!!!!!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Jazzysoul03's topic in General Students

    Ouch! Micro is not a prerequisite for my Nursing program either but I'll be damned if I have to take a science course during the program. Instead I'm taking it next semester along with AP 2 to get it...

  23. Winter read? You got it.

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

    I downloaded both of them and two more. They so far are awesome. These are great while I impatiently, maniacally, butterflies in my stomach wait to see if I got accepted into the nursing program for...

  24. Biology & Chemistry

    AspiringNurseMW replied to StartingOver48's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel like the one chapter in A&P that went over chemistry provided the information I needed to understand the future parts of class that were relevant to it. We didn't spend much time on the...

  25. GPA

    AspiringNurseMW replied to MariKitty08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Totally depends on your school. I live in northeast PA and it's nowhere near as competitive here. Despite the amount of applications that come in people have been accepted into our schools program...
