  1. Can you be an OB RN with an Assoc. Degree?

    ladybugsea replied to kmj1228's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Some hospitals in Boston are now requiring a

  2. Student Loans: Shopgirl

    ladybugsea replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just calculated what we have left on our original school loans, and at $50/month it would take us 72 more years to pay them off. And this is after 8 years of paying between $600-1200/month! The $50...

  3. ADN program Financial Aid question

    ladybugsea replied to GAbuzzfan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The MSN program I'm hoping to go through will consider me with the ADN. But, what happens if they won't take me or change their policy and I need to get a BSN? Does a bridge program qualify for

  4. ADN program Financial Aid question

    ladybugsea replied to GAbuzzfan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh no!!! I didn't know that. Luckily I am at a CC where it is cheap. I knew I couldn't get financial aid, but did not know I couldn't take out loans... seems a little unfair. Maybe I'll be able...

  5. Semester is over, how did you do?

    ladybugsea replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm extremely disappointed this semester. I have my A&P II final tonight, and I'm probably going to get a B+. Many of the teacher's exam questions did not reflect lecture material and she...

    ladybugsea replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sure, if the amount borrowed is low enough and the term long

  7. Doula

    ladybugsea replied to Toothbrushx2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a nursing student, hoping to eventually go the CNM route. I'd like to get a job in L&D as soon as possible, and I know that can be tough or impossible with little/no experience. I've thought...

  8. labeling stethoscopes

    ladybugsea replied to Golden_Clover's topic in General Students

    Dutchgirl -- Those are adorable!! I have a bracelet like that from when I was a child (kept it because my name is unusual and could never find my name on anything in the US). I think I'll use it for...

  9. New OB Nurses, Grads and Students, Please Feel Free to post your questions here:

    ladybugsea replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Question -- could attending conferences and taking CEUs help me get into L&D faster? I'm becoming an RN on my way to becoming a CNM (although I may work as an RN for a while so I can have a break...

  10. Directed pushing

    ladybugsea replied to LauraLou's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm an advocate for natural birth as well as active birth and hope to eventually become a CNM. I'm a pre-nursing student, starting clinicals this fall. Is my maternity clinical going to be a huge...

  11. Anybody know if Norther Essex Community College has a good nursing program?

    ladybugsea replied to dawnivany's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    MBrickle -- It's too late to apply to NECC for the fall '06 clinicals. The deadline was in January, plus you would have had to have taken the TEAS and they require certain classes to already be taken...

  12. Anybody know if Norther Essex Community College has a good nursing program?

    ladybugsea replied to dawnivany's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Melgrek-- Technically all you need is to score 40% or higher in every section. However, I believe the average person who is accepted scores in the 80s. I scored 90% overall and got in early decision...

    ladybugsea replied to dawnivany's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks, Mary! Any advice about the

  14. Anybody know if Norther Essex Community College has a good nursing program?

    ladybugsea replied to dawnivany's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I am finishing up pre-reqs at NECC. I got accepted early decision and will be starting clinicals there in September.

  15. Your Score on the TEAS?

    ladybugsea replied to tanner523's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a 90 overall, 99th national, 99th group. The average for my group was around 75, I think. Dress - the score report states 99th as the highest percentile (there is no 100), so you are in the top...

  16. what is on the TEAS???

    ladybugsea replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like the others said, it's mostly arithmetic and simple algebra (word problems). I think the time is what makes it hard for some; I have an MS in math and finished with only a few minutes to check my...

  17. CNM Program

    ladybugsea replied to maledi's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There actually is a program in Springfield at Baystate Medical Center. It's a certificate and there is a part time option, and also an MSN option through UMASS

  18. Anyone else waiting for "the letter" this month for fall admissions?

    ladybugsea replied to L&D_2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got in! :) Got my letter as I was heading out to take my A&P final two weeks ago. It was no small feat getting into a community college early decision! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever...

  19. CLEP success

    ladybugsea posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just got my score for my last CLEP and I passed! Yippee!! I highly recommend taking these tests to help lighten the load and get on the nursing track faster. So I've passed (in the A range, too)...

  20. Accelerated Bsn Programs In New England?

    ladybugsea replied to J40A1977F's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wondergirl -- Wow, my husband is a wanna be cop. He's actual on an interview right now for an AWOL apprehension officer for the Dept of Youth Services (he's already a case worker there). We have...

  21. CLEP success

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi! I think the CLEPs are such a smart move for people who can study well on their own. If you passed the other two, I wouldn't worry a whole lot about English Comp. :) I didn't study for that one...

  22. TEAS study guide

    ladybugsea posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't use it a lot, but it definitely was invaluable as a preparation. I have an MS in math and there was something I was misunderstanding in the practice tests that made me score in the 80s (mixed...

  23. Abnormal Psych or Nutrition?

    ladybugsea posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Which is easier? I'll be taking A&PII concurrently. I feel more interested in Nutrition (since I've recently CLEPed Psych, Dev Psych I, and am currently taking Dev Psych II). Neither of these...

  24. New OB Nurses, Grads and Students, Please Feel Free to post your questions here:

    ladybugsea replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is it difficult to get a job as a CNM with only an ADN and a certificate in midwifery? I already have an MS in something unrelated and have a family and work part time so I applied to an ADN program....

  25. Accelerated Bsn Programs In New England?

    ladybugsea replied to J40A1977F's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that this stinks!!! There are so many direct entry MSNs and hardly any BSNs. I'm hoping to apply to UMASS Amherst. I'm going to have to relocate to do
