1. Any clinical research nurses out there?

   lovingpecola replied to Researchnurse's topic in Research

   I am a Clinical Research Nurse Coordinator and I, too, love my job. What I love most about it is the autonomy... an autonomy I thought I'd have to give up with an RN job after getting used to it during APRN training. I also love the perks- steady ho...

2. ADN or LPN or RN for a SoCRA CCRP?

   lovingpecola replied to Bella83's topic in Research

   I would become an RN through an accelerated BSN program. Since You already have a BA in biology, your first two years (or more!) of a BSN should already be covered. Here's an example of a program... note that it's full time, but I bet you could find ...

3. CRC salary in academia

   lovingpecola replied to ThanksForAllTheFish!'s topic in Research

   It's much higher where I am, but I'm in the private sector. If you go to this website, and put in your city and state you can get an estimate for your area. For my city and state, it was dead on. http://www.indeed.com/salary?q1=Research+Nurse+Coordin...

4. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

   lovingpecola replied to epiphany's topic in CNM

   I definitely picked an integration site I wouldn't mind working at, hoping to be offered something. (And I think it's a good thing to keep in mind) But they had just hired someone when we arrived, so that was a bust. But I had also picked it for the ...

5. The elephant in the room - relationships between CNM and L&D nurses

   lovingpecola replied to epiphany's topic in CNM

   mommy2boysaz, I agree with what you're saying because I really do think the nursing manager can make all the difference between peace and, well, not-so-peaceful! (not that all the responsibility falls to the manager, but I surely appreciate a good on...

6. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

   lovingpecola replied to epiphany's topic in CNM

   I know you weren't asking me, but being as though I have NO L&D experience (and neither did most of my classmates), I would say that if you can't find another L&D job, you will still be just fine.

7. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

   lovingpecola replied to epiphany's topic in CNM

   I believe that they may be including "on call time," including the time when you are not actually *at* work in their totals. For example... if you work three 8 hr days in the office, plus two 24hr call shifts, you will have a total of 72 hours- even ...

8. The elephant in the room - relationships between CNM and L&D nurses

   lovingpecola replied to epiphany's topic in CNM

   Hm. I been at a hospital where nurses and midwives clash a little bit. A few nurses have said things like "I don't *do* back rubs" or "I'm not going to stand here all day" or "she's going to have to lay still, the monitor keeps coming off" etc. and t...

9. No jobs in OB nursing!!

   lovingpecola replied to what2donow's topic in CNM

   I didn't have any, nor did most of the people in my class. We graduated in May. Everyone's passing the boards, and about 1/2 have already found CNM jobs. Good luck!

10. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

    lovingpecola replied to epiphany's topic in CNM

    I agree that this information is hard to find. I am a new grad, currently looking for a job and have been talking to various employers. I can contribute the following to the discussion: Job 1: large midwestern city, large community health practice b...

    lovingpecola replied to momandstudent's topic in General Students

    Is anybody who got this working as an ANP? (FNP, WHNP, PNP or CNM etc) or is everyone working as RNs?

13. Question: How long does it take to get a temporary license from Maryland's BON

    lovingpecola replied to CalypsoRN's topic in Maryland

    Lyndsey, how long did it take for them to mail you the application? (I weighing my options between waiting for it in the mail or driving all the way to Maryland to pick it up and hand it back in, in person) Also, can you tell me what kinds of forms y...

    lovingpecola replied to bill4745's topic in Maryland

    Did you ever go in person to the office in Baltimore? I am about to begin the process...I need the license by January...and I'm wondering if it helps to physically go to the office to get and return the application (and do the fingerprinting that is ...

15. Midwifery School Rankings

    lovingpecola replied to zahryia's topic in CNM

    People do look at these lists. And what school you go to does matter to an employer - fair or not. I am currently interviewing midwifery students for my thesis and you'd be surprised how much of the same thing goes on at every school, regardless of ...
