  1. Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing-FNP Program

    studentnurserachel replied to ms_sheesh's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is Excelsior accredited by CCNE or NLNAC? If so, that should not bar you from the bridge program. I just want to add here, to echo what others have said, I think Frontier is amazing. I am a former...

  2. Kapiolani Community College

    studentnurserachel replied to JOLIEDAME's topic in General Nursing

    I just got around to reading this thread and although I am glad to see that the direction of the thread has improved, I am disturbed by the things I saw early in the thread. It bothers me that there...

  3. PAY RATE ISSUE

    studentnurserachel replied to sunset1986's topic in General Nursing

    I literally cannot believe that there are people out here licensed as RNs agreeing to work as CNAs or whatever at 14-19/hr. Is going somewhere else for a few months a possibility? I don't think...

  4. Any Military Midwives out there?

    studentnurserachel posted a topic in Government, Military

    I am wondering if anyone is, or knows any direct accession nurse midwives on active duty. I am a couple years early in this process as I have just been accepted for admission to Frontier's CNM...

  5. Had my Frontier Phone Interview today

    studentnurserachel posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    It went pretty well I think, I was nervous to begin with and stuttered a bit and didn't really get my point across with the first question, but I think it went a lot better after that. I feel like if...

  6. Managing Pitocin Augmentation, again...

    studentnurserachel replied to californianclextaker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't believe in "pitting through a dysfunctional pattern" although a lot of providers encourage it, does your facility have an algorithm for hyperstimulation? Ours is just in the process of...

  7. Did I do the right thing??

    studentnurserachel replied to AlmostThere:)'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have said it before in different posts, I think that getting a year or two of med-surg/ICU/or ED experience first is beneficial, however since you have already accepted the OB position, you can...

  8. Moving to Oahu in May

    studentnurserachel posted a topic in General Nursing

    My husband just received his post PA school orders for Hawaii, he will be stationed at Schofield Barracks for at least 3 years beginning next May. We are excited, but nervous because Hawaii wasn't...

  9. Moving to Oahu in May

    studentnurserachel replied to studentnurserachel's topic in General Nursing

    We are coming from Ft. Bragg, NC. Do you know if there is agency work available at Tripler? I do not want to get a GS position because I will be going to midwifery school online and cannot keep up a...

  10. Fayetteville, NC

    studentnurserachel replied to BKRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The issue is not so much finding a daycare that opens at 0600 or earlier, but finding one that stays open past 1800, or actually 1930/2000 when we are getting off work! When my husband was deployed...

  11. How can a new RN become a L&D nurse?

    studentnurserachel replied to L&DOBWANNABE2007's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Where I live it is sometimes possible to go directly into L&D from nursing school BUT although I don't want to spark up the debate again, I think a year of med/surg, ER, or ICU experience prior to...

  12. Fayetteville, NC

    studentnurserachel replied to BKRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I worked at CFVHS until a few months ago, there is a waiting list for the hospital daycare, but I believe very soon they have a few more rooms opening up that should decrease the wait time and the...

  13. New grad who REALLY WANTS L&D

    studentnurserachel replied to BullyLoveRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it is wonderful to have people who are excited about working in L&D, and hopefully with the time you spend this semester, you will be sure it is where you want to go. I felt the same way...

  14. Infiltrate treatment question

    studentnurserachel replied to butofcourse's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Interesting to see that so many have policy of only 10 sticks around infiltration site. Our policy is to bleb every cm around site first and then all throughout site every cm, let me tell you, it is...

  15. Questions about Cape Fear Valley Health System

    studentnurserachel replied to cns48's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm a new grad at CFVHS right now, they have just this year started the residency program for new grads, I am not clear on the details because I'm going into critical care. They have a critical care...

  16. eating our young?

    studentnurserachel replied to happytobehere's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    This discussion is really fascinating to me because I am a new grad nurse (incidentally the only new grad) orienting in a CCU and I have experienced some of the resentment (I guess that's the best...

  17. I passed! (Sorry, couldn't resist)

    studentnurserachel posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So sorry for this flagrant AW post, but I am so excited because I really was convinced that I had failed. Took the test on 6/21, 75 questions. The only thing spoiling my excitement right now is that...

  18. Poll for those who have already taken NCLEX..

    studentnurserachel replied to lpn2rnMay2005's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    1. How many questions did you take on NCLEX? 75 2. What study materials did you use? Did you take a test review course? We did Hurst Review and it was really wonderful, although I don't think it...

  19. Post 48 hours and no results

    studentnurserachel replied to queenbee06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My friend and I took our tests together on 6/21, I have my results, she does not. She called Pearson (even though you're not supposed to) and they just told her they are not available and that under...

  20. Where was all the stuff I studied?

    studentnurserachel posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Okay, so I'm not going to get on here and claim that I studied my butt off, for various reasons, mostly my own procrastinating personality and a little bit of cockiness because I've always made good...

  21. took NCLEX this AM GOT 75...

    studentnurserachel replied to sjp416's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey everyone! Took NCLEX this a.m. Got 75 questions, flunked the heck out of it I'm pretty sure, so I'll probably be saying this again in 45 days. Guess I'll find out for sure in a couple days, but...

  22. Future of CNMs

    studentnurserachel posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I have lurked on this board for a while because of my interest in L&D and because I think I want to go to midwifery school (although I have another year of nursing school). I mentioned my...

    studentnurserachel posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks! Great

  25. Do I have a fighting chance?

    studentnurserachel replied to CharlotteCNA's topic in North Carolina Nursing
