  1. Meaning of your username?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    Mine's kinda obvious. I hope to one day be an Certified Nurse Midwife. The sole reason I chose this path to begin with. Since it's quite a few years down the road, I figure my user name will be...

  2. Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    AspiringNurseMW replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    Lololololol. You are too much. Well, if anything, you're an entertaining 2nd

  3. In what order do I give these drugs to asthma patient?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to futurenurse93_'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So, why would you give the cough suppressant first? Or conversely, what could happen if you attempted to give oral meds to someone who was still

  4. Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    AspiringNurseMW replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    Le sigh. And for the third time calling people unprofessional for being late is not judging. My, you really are one that has to get the last word in aren't you lol. You must enjoy this, cause your...

  5. Strait to med-surg or can I specialize strait out of school?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to rhernandez748's topic in Nursing Career

    It is solely a matter of opinion. Some people think it's better to do medsurg while you get your bearings as a nurse. Others will say go for it if you can get the job. I have no intentions of working...

  6. Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    AspiringNurseMW replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    I'm not saying it speaks to YOUR character, it speaks to the character of the people that are chronically late. Why are you so invested in defending people who are chronically late? I'm not judging...

  7. LPNs Rock!

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in General Nursing

    So yesterday was my next to last clinicals for the semester. My instructor paired us with a nurse to follow/assist for our clinical. I got paired with an LPN, AND SHE WAS THE BEST. Of all my...

  8. Prerequisites - How long do they take?

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

    Totally going to depend on your school. Took me a year, 18 credits first semester, 8 credits the next (was supposed to be 14 but I dropped 2 classes) and 1 summer class. But my school is really light...

  9. Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    AspiringNurseMW replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    Those may be 2 different things, but it speaks to your character. It's rude and unprofessional to show up late to anything. People showing up late are distracting and disrespectful of the teacher,...

  10. Tuition for nursing school...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Students

    I have found literally hundreds of scholarships on my own just by using Google. I will admit, I haven't won any because the ones that are easy to apply to are the hardest to get, and I just don't have...

  11. Tuition for nursing school...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Students

    Have you asked for feedback as to WHY you are not getting the scholarships? What are the requirements? Is it just GPA, or is there an essay and community or college involvement as well? Because if...

  12. Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    AspiringNurseMW replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    WHERE do you people go to school?!! None of that ish would fly at my community college at all. There is ZERO tolerance for frequent lateness (ESPECIALLY my current med surg teacher) We love our...

  13. Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    AspiringNurseMW replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    That's still not acceptable. Nor is it an excuse. I have 2 kids and work with you no family/friends to help, just my husband, and get to class ON TIME. And employer is not going to accept frequent...

  14. IL looking to "Legalize" Midwives - what do you think?

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

    The problem arises when CNMs are not allowed to attend homebirths or require a practice agreement with an OB thus making it almost impossible to attend homebirths. Then if CPMs are not legalized,...

  15. Pitiful statistic

    AspiringNurseMW replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    While pelvic floor relaxation corrective surgery might be more common, people choosing a section to prevent this, having one major abdominal surgery to avoid the *possibility* of another, is simply...

  16. BSN vs RN...is it worth the tuition difference? I already hold a BA if that matters

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

    Personally Im choosing the ADN route and then bridging. Probably saving $20-40k total, and that's AFTER considering the scholarships I was eligible for at the BSN program. Nope, saving those loans for...

  17. My Dream to be a Labor and Delivery Nurse

    AspiringNurseMW replied to MrsSassyLassie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I will say. I'm about to finish up my 2nd semester of my ADN program. The only reason I'm going to nursing school at all is to eventually be a Certified Nurse Midwife (hence my user name). I think...

  18. My Dream to be a Labor and Delivery Nurse

    AspiringNurseMW replied to MrsSassyLassie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Taking doula training takes nothing more than a few days. Doula training vs doula certification are two completely different things. You can take the training and not become certified. It wouldn't...

  19. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    22 days until my final. And in between then I have 2 quizzes, 1 lecture test, 1 Kaplan test, a care plan, a presentation and an essay. Fun times. But then I'll only have a year left! It blows my mind...

  20. Angry..

    AspiringNurseMW replied to JellyDonut's topic in Critical Care

    Ummmm. I don't know that I'd want to hire you if you let any of that attitude bleed through. And since when does the process for hiring someone change according to what degree they have. You applied...

  21. 4/16 What I learned this week: POD2 and I want my button back

    Hugs and a speedy recovery ixchel! * I have 22 more days until my final. I am so ready to be done with this semester yet there is so much to do! *I did alot better on my last test than I thought I...

  22. Their Appreciation Catches Me Off Guard

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today was an ok day at clinicals. My patient wasn't particularly challenging and it wasn't my turn to pass meds with my instructor, so I had extra time on my hand. She was an elderly lady who had come...

  23. My Dream to be a Labor and Delivery Nurse

    AspiringNurseMW replied to MrsSassyLassie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Perhaps take doula training and attend a few births? That way it's not the huge investment of nursing school and you might find out for sure that it's what you
