1. Frontier Bridge vs RN-BSN?

   fmwf replied to allthemadmen's topic in CNM

   Frontier, Frontier, Frontier. Not having a BSN will be trumped by having an MSN! Small worry. My friends that did bridge are glad they did....it forced them to move and not quit (I've got a BSN already so lemme just call it quits....I'm feeling la...

2. Am I too old to become a CNM

   fmwf replied to oldenurselady's topic in CNM

   Dear oldenurselady, I've been told that people don't get old, clothes do! Do you really think you'll be 50 before you get out of school? Nah. You will be late 40s. Know some great CNMs who started at 50. That is historically how many midwives sta...

3. Anyone enter CNM with little to no nursing experience?

   fmwf replied to misslolalady's topic in CNM

   I really do appreciate the balance that starryeyed brings to this question that many ask. Some are very adamant about this, I can understand what the emotional value could be for a preceptor who has the task of bringing someone along who has had no ...

4. Coworker reported me for something I hadn't done = Final warning

   fmwf replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

   "Don't confront her. If you're with her alone she'll probably say you touched her or something. As soon as you find a new job, quit this one. Don't give them two weeks, just quit. Normally I'd never recommend that, but they're obviously looking to f...

6. Does it matter that the ACNM does not support DNP requirements?

   fmwf replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Doctoral

   This is the million dollar question. Feedback indicates that CNMs b/f 2015 will be grandfathered in (as long as they meet the 2010 Masters date). There is word out that there could be a DM (Doctor of Midwifery) in the works. The best article I co...

   fmwf replied to connieindc's topic in Post Graduate

   Sorry, I imagined that I replied to this...the phone interview was after I got my app in (1 week). It lasted 20 minutes...and it was relatively easy to prepare for! My background is Maternal Child (inc L&D) & Women's Health. Have you appli...

10. Any personal experience with Phila U, Georgetown, or Upenn?

    fmwf replied to byrd262's topic in CNM

    Update: I did have my interview for Phila U. on 06/04. It lasted quite a while--as it was thorough. I did learn that this program is designed to specialize in nurturing/mentoring students with "Midwife Tutors" and "Mentors". The program has a goal f...

12. Dealing with fear

    fmwf replied to bebeleche's topic in CNM

    One thing I have learned about performing is to think less (or not) about your self/ego and more about doing the right thing and doing the thing right. And breathe! fmwf

13. "Hippie" Image

    fmwf replied to MUOStudentNurse's topic in CNM

    People are dynamic. They do change and "improve". They can also be influenced. By mass media, by market and by you . At the turn of a dime, a woman who has never even heard of a midwife can decide [informed by intuition] that she should be giving bir...

14. Dealing with fear

    fmwf replied to bebeleche's topic in CNM

    Just wanted to post that moving through fear is the lesson of labor--by extension being "born" as a midwife. Some birthing techniques that address fear have their application for life. One is in the book "Birthing from Within". Some people who are fa...
