The names of my family integrated into one name. Ga = first 2 letters of my husbands name, Me = Me, Ca = daughter, Co = son

I’m still a new grad (December) and still in orientation in OB, doing PP/Mother-baby, well baby nursery (includes transition period from birth to a couple hours after birth, newborn screens, and general nursery care), and special care nursery. I have...

In the birth center where I work, aftercare varies slightly depending on the type of circ done. Gomco gets a large amount of Vaseline in the diaper (no gauze or other dressing), no pulling or cleaning besides water if necessary. Plastibell gets nothi...

I am a very non-traditional student. I am in my thirties, married, moved across state to attend university and have 2 kids, one of which is special needs. Anyway, I've truly busted my butt going to school. I graduated from CC with 3 associates degree...

I would typically agree. I only have 2 co-requisites left to take and won't start the BSN program until August....if I get in with my 3.4+ GPA (I know it isn't competitive. I'm thinking ahead because of this). That being said, I will have one clinic...

Tell us about the school you're applying to. I have applied to Grand Valley State University's January '16 start date for the BSN program. What pre-reqs are you completing? This term, I'm taking Human Genetics, Orgo and Bio Chem, Pathophysiology ...
