Can you become a RN then an OBGYN?

How can I tell If I am having a miscarriage. I am 10 weeks pregnant and have had some heavy mucous that is clear with pink tissue in in. The mucous is clear and has no odor?

I would call your doc for an u/s. I am 8 weeks and on Sunday had the same sort of discharge with pink tissue in it. The next day had an u/s which showed the baby's heart was slowing and they told me I'm a threatened m/c. I'm now three days later bleeding heavily and cramping and my OB says it will happen here soon.

I don't know if it was the tissue that meant anything, but thought you should know so you can get checked to ensure all was OK. I know lots of things can come out during pregnancy and discharge is normal...call your doctor is advisable if you are worried.

When you are on your period do you wear a pad or tampon overnight?

Tampons should not be worn overnight - tampons need to be changed every 4-6 hours which you can't do while sleeping, when laying down less blood flows down into the vaginal canal so there's a risk of using too high an absorbency for your flow, and you need to alternate with pads to allow your vagina a chance to clean itself after tampon use...overnight is the most convenient time to do this.

If you use tampons during the day you should switch to pads at night, there are overnight pads specifically for overnight use and you can use period underwear or a towel on the bed as back-up.


You can also use options such as menstrual cups and softcups overnight as although these are internal like tampons they are far safer so can be worn for up to 12 hours with any flow and as they don't prevent vaginal cleaning as tampons do it means there's no need to alternate with pads.

What education or training do you need to become a hotel owner?

To become a hotel manager, you should get at least an Associate's Degree, preferably in something like Hospitality, Hotel Management, or Management. If you want to become a hotel manager of a very profitable hotel, then most likely you will need a Bachelor's Degree in one of those majors. My suggestion is this. Go to a technical college and get an Associate's Degree in something related to hospitality or management. While you go to college, you should work for a hotel part-time as a front desk person, bookkeeper, cleaner, anything. So by the time you get your 2 year degree, you will have an education AND experience. From there, it is up to you to determine whether you should continue your education or take your chances with what you have. I wish you the best of luck.

How many years do you have to go through to be a psychologist?

A master's or doctoral degree, and a license, are required for most psychologists. Education and training. A doctoral degree usually is required for independent practice as a psychologist. Psychologists with a Ph.D. or Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) qualify for a wide range of teaching, research, clinical, and counseling positions in universities, health care services, elementary and secondary schools, private industry, and government. Psychologists with a doctoral degree often work in clinical positions or in private practices, but they also sometimes teach, conduct research, or carry out administrative responsibilities. A doctoral degree generally requires 5 to 7 years of graduate study, culminating in a dissertation based on original research. Courses in quantitative research methods, which include the use of computer-based analysis, are an integral part of graduate study and are necessary to complete the dissertation. The Psy.D. degree may be based on practical work and examinations rather than a dissertation. In clinical, counseling, and school psychology, the requirements for the doctoral degree include at least a 1-year internship. A specialist degree or its equivalent is required in most States for an individual to work as a school psychologist, although a few States still credential school psychologists with master's degrees. A specialist (Ed.S.) degree in school psychology requires a minimum of 3 years of full-time graduate study (at least 60 graduate semester hours) and a 1-year full-time internship. Because their professional practice addresses educational and mental health components of students' development, school psychologists' training includes coursework in both education and psychology. People with a master's degree in psychology may work as industrial-organizational psychologists. They also may work as psychological assistants under the supervision of doctoral-level psychologists and may conduct research or psychological evaluations. A master's degree in psychology requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate study. Requirements usually include practical experience in an applied setting and a master's thesis based on an original research project. Competition for admission to graduate psychology programs is keen. Some universities require applicants to have an undergraduate major in psychology. Others prefer only coursework in basic psychology with additional courses in the biological, physical, and social sciences and in statistics and mathematics. A bachelor's degree in psychology qualifies a person to assist psychologists and other professionals in community mental health centers, vocational rehabilitation offices, and correctional programs. Bachelor's degree holders may also work as research or administrative assistants for psychologists. Some work as technicians in related fields, such as marketing research. Many find employment in other areas, such as sales, service, or business management. In the Federal Government, candidates having at least 24 semester hours in psychology and one course in statistics qualify for entry-level positions. However, competition for these jobs is keen because this is one of the few ways in which one can work as a psychologist without an advanced degree. The American Psychological Association (APA) presently accredits doctoral training programs in clinical, counseling, and school psychology, as well as institutions that provide internships for doctoral students in school, clinical, and counseling psychology. The National Association of School Psychologists, with the assistance of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, helps to approve advanced degree programs in school psychology. Licensure. Psychologists in independent practice or those who offer any type of patient care-including clinical, counseling, and school psychologists-must meet certification or licensing requirements in all States and the District of Columbia. Licensing laws vary by State and by type of position and require licensed or certified psychologists to limit their practice to areas in which they have developed professional competence through training and experience. Clinical and counseling psychologists usually need a doctorate in psychology, an approved internship, and 1 to 2 years of professional experience. In addition, all States require that applicants pass an examination. Most State licensing boards administer a standardized test, and many supplement that with additional oral or essay questions. Some States require continuing education for renewal of the license. The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) awards the Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) designation, which recognizes professional competency in school psychology at a national, rather than State, level. Currently, 29 States recognize the NCSP and allow those with the certification to transfer credentials from one State to another without taking a new certification exam. In States that recognize the NCSP, the requirements for certification or licensure and those for the NCSP often are the same or similar. Requirements for the NCSP include the completion of 60 graduate semester hours in school psychology; a 1,200-hour internship, 600 hours of which must be completed in a school setting; and a passing score on the National School Psychology Examination. Other qualifications. Aspiring psychologists who are interested in direct patient care must be emotionally stable, mature, and able to deal effectively with people. Sensitivity, compassion, good communication skills, and the ability to lead and inspire others are particularly important qualities for people wishing to do clinical work and counseling. Research psychologists should be able to do detailed work both independently and as part of a team. Patience and perseverance are vital qualities, because achieving results in the psychological treatment of patients or in research may take a long time. Certification and advancement.The American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) recognizes professional achievement by awarding specialty certification in 13 different areas. Candidates for ABPP certification need a doctorate in psychology, postdoctoral training in their specialty, several years of experience, professional endorsements, and are required to pass the specialty board examination. Psychologists can improve their advancement opportunities by earning an advanced degree and by participation in continuing education. Many psychologists opt to start their own practice after gaining experience working in the field.
