Dr. Woolley: ------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm curious ... does having a license to practice medicine also give you a license to be rude? Personally, I feel you should join practice with the man who thinks the world is "being to polite to midwifes". He could spend the day insulting his colleagues and you could belittle kids. After all, it's not the oppinion of these two posts that bothered me, it was the attitude.

And Tia, I think getting a CNA license is a very good idea. It will give you a chance to experience the different fields of health care prior to making a long term commitment to school. It will also allow you to make (and SAVE) some money to support you and your child. A very intelligent move on your part. :-)

Best of luck to you. Julie ------- CNA and then LPN and then RN and now in PREMED and applying to medical school this year. (*the scenic route has taught me alot)
