    To transfer or not to transfer...

    mindofmidwifery replied to Stacilator's topic in General Students

    You're seven hours away from the school you were previously attending? It only makes sense to look into going to the one that accepts your transfer credits. I would say make sure everything is worth...

    Should I put bar experience on my resume?

    mindofmidwifery replied to dee789's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No, I wouldn't. 1) it's not relevant to the position. 2) it does seem unprofessional. Although you may or may not drink, I believe that there would be assumptions that you do drink and/or hang out...

    Online vs. Classroom/Hybrid

    mindofmidwifery replied to hahcna's topic in General Students

    I love online classes as well. The program I'm in is blended so everything is pretty much online except for labs and tests. I perform so much better with online classes versus in

    College Major?

    mindofmidwifery replied to tmzmckinney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you just want to get your prerequisites done (for whatever reason), it'd make the most sense to go to a community college. If you actually want to go to school for nursing you can apply to a four...

    Funny - Tech Broken, Use "Old School" Sphygmomanometer

    mindofmidwifery replied to MidLifeChg2Nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not a CNA yet but am in the classes now. It is not part of the Minnesota CNA skills test but we were all taught the skill and spent quite a bit of time on it. I actually plan on getting my own set...

    tablet for class

    mindofmidwifery replied to TinaPewe's topic in General Students

    I use my iPad a lot for books, calculator, and some note taking and use my laptop for writing papers. Other than that, I use paper and pen for majority of my note taking and homework. I think a...

    Assistance with Multicultural interview

    mindofmidwifery replied to Chribri's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Did you ask permission from your instructor to get virtual assistance? Also, there's no way to actually tell if someone from here is "multiculturally diverse" since this is an overall anonymous...

    Offered a Postition from a Home Health agency should I take it?

    mindofmidwifery replied to jaytee12003's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Does home health sound like it would be suitable for you? You have to start somewhere but if home health doesn't sound like a good fit I would say no. Have you applied for any LTC

    Frustrated with angry, demeaning doctors

    mindofmidwifery replied to NurseyNursington's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I second meanmaryjane. I've worked at an answering service where I have had to call on call doctors and yes they were rude but it was my job. Don't let them get to you and don't let them get in the...

    Preparing for classes

    mindofmidwifery replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's funny because at my school, it seems as if only the business students care about their appearance. Of course I can't speak for everyone, but majority rules. Most girls I see wear leggings,...

    Got an interview but...I'm not so excited anymore

    mindofmidwifery replied to Catch22Personified's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe it's wrong to feel that way. It's normal, even with things off nursing topics. If you believe the opportunity at the other hospital outweighs your guilt for leaving your current...

    If you accept a job, stay at least a year

    mindofmidwifery replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Why not accept your dream job if it comes up? I don't understand how that's unprofessional if you're given a better

    I am starting CNA class Monday :) I just had an interview at the medical center/nursing home where I am taking the class, today. I have read through many articles on this site but would like some...

    Steps to become a CRNA?

    mindofmidwifery replied to Rectaltylenol's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Since you already have a bachelors degree you can go the accelerated route when getting your BSN, given your GPA is good. That typically takes about 18 months-2 years, which isn't bad. After that, I'm...

    How do you feel about distance learning (online learning) for pre-reqs?

    mindofmidwifery replied to LemonMonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some courses like science you won't be able to take fully online, because of labs but I'm sure your community college offers a blended option. Other than that, then why not? I actually learn better...

    Volunteering at a Pregnancy Center

    mindofmidwifery posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm really only posting in this section because I am a pre-nursing student and am hoping there are an array of people who can help :) So, today I emailed a pregnancy center asking whether they had any...

    Is nursing the best career to choose ?

    mindofmidwifery replied to TamiamaRebel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What kind of nurse did you plan on being? It depends on your interests and what you want to end up doing, what is your end goal? I ask fellow nursing students this all the time and it's usually "I...

    Need Advice on Nursing Program Selection

    mindofmidwifery replied to williamsm12893's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's understandable. Have you looked at community colleges near Dayton? You should look into applying to get your ADN at one, and even if there is a wait, you can still do your pre-requisites before...

    I just started my CNA classes today. They are going to be four weeks, with classes three days a week, then three days of clinicals. I have been taking practice CNA tests and it all seems like common...

    Should I go out of State?

    mindofmidwifery replied to laundrypodkebab's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Out of state gets pretty pricey, but if CA is as impacted as everyone says, it seems worth it. I live in Columbus, OH and the nursing schools can be competitive, but from what I've seen, new grads are...
