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

  3. Can i ever become a nurse?

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

    Speak to the advisors from the ACTUAL nursing programs, not a general advisor as it will help. You should be able to retake it but the old D will still factor into your GPA. look into other schools,...

  10. Advice for a low GPA student.

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

    You are in NYC? Yes I would definitely recommend finishing your bachelor's and going for an accelerated BSN. In NYC it's going to become incredibly harder to get a job with an associates in nursing as...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Babycatcher1's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  13. Oh sweet relief!

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been worried as to how I was going to pay for daycare, an extra $400+ a month just for 2 days for me to go to school is just not really in our families budget. In my town in order to qualify for...

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

    Shhhoooooot. Im going to nursing school JUST to become a CNM. Really though. I was considering the CPM route but my children are too young to go the route that requires being on call pretty much all...

  17. How old were you/how long did it take?

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

    Not really worried, I am just curious. I'm actually kind of grateful to be going to school now a little later, especially with a family and more responsibilities. I feel like I am taking it much more...

  18. Doula Certification/Wanting to be a Midwife

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

    Honestly becoming a doula is not much of a derailment.... it doesnt really take much..... read a few books, attend a weekend workshop and your training is complete..... with a organization like DONA...

  20. CNM Job Prospects/Research

    AspiringNurseMW replied to katyq82's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

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

    I "studied" for my accuplacer because it's been 10 years since I've been in school and I needed a refresher in some math formulas and wanted to familiarize myself with the format. But I didn't stress...

  25. LPN to BSN

    AspiringNurseMW replied to thansford3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't want to stop at LPN then I wouldn't get it. Unless it's something you'd really like to work as during nursing school. If you know you want your BSN then you are wasting time and money,...
