I'm finding it hard to stay interested in this forum due to the lack of other CNM's active here. Most people here are either students or exploring the career. The threads become pretty much about the same things - why be CNM's, what's the best program, best state to practice, etc. Most people don't browse through the threads before asking questions that have already been answered several ways. However, many are legitimate student questions, but the best people to answer them would be CNM's, but they are not active, so topics recycle themselves.
I wish there was a way to keep it alive. Additionally, the forum is marginalized, as new threads do not appear on the main page. I feel that many people may be interested in midwifery in one way or another, and I wish the administrators would find a way encourage more participation. Since I've graduated, I've just been browsing the forum infrequently (maybe not a bad thing for administrators because I'm sort of a trouble maker for them ) Pretty soon, I'll loose all interest, since there are so few peers. Too bad. Just thought I would share my feelings and start a dialogue about how to get more readership and activity. Because, for one, midwifery is the most amazing job in the world and I want to stay and encourage any and everyone who may be thinking of this career.
