1. Fnp/cnm

   bebeleche replied to UNC_nurseL&D's topic in CNM

   The quickest way to accomplish your goal is to do a fast track "bridge" NP program (there are many) which allows you to enter a master's program w/a non-nursing bachelor degree. You get your RN along the way and graduate in roughly 3 years prepared a...

2. new to nursing, advice please

   bebeleche replied to freezin's topic in CNM

   There are also several schools that offer a "bridge" program where if you have a bachelor's degree in any field, you can simply apply directly to a CNM/MSN program and get your RN license along the way. I am not sure, but I believe there are distance...

3. Back to Family practice-need good resource

   bebeleche replied to bebeleche's topic in NP

   I am looking into rural loan repayment sites. I have 2 interviews next week! Excited and nervous, after being out of general practice. Thanks for the tips! I attended a Fitzgerald review course about 5 years ago- Excellent!

   My heart is swelling and my eyes are welling! Thanks so much :)

6. Dealing with fear

   bebeleche replied to bebeleche's topic in CNM

   Wonderful response, Epiphany! Thanks so much! It's nice to hear that you LOVE being a midwife. Sometimes, I guess, I get caught up in too much negative thinking. But I agree that you can't let fears stand in the way of living one's life and fulfullin...

7. Dealing with fear

   bebeleche replied to bebeleche's topic in CNM

   no one else has fears about this stuff? or just doesn't want to go there in this forum? since i first started this thread, i dicovered this quote: "when i dare to be powerful- to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and...

8. Dealing with fear

   bebeleche posted a topic in CNM

   I have recently had to admit to myself that one reason I haven't pursued the CNM path yet, (even though I've been drawn to it w/varying degrees of obsession for the past 12 years), is that I haven't gotten past the fear aspect. Not fear of the birth ...

9. Scared of being an RN in a hospital but need the experience

   bebeleche replied to wannabmidwife's topic in CNM

   You are probably right that care of pregnant women with uncontrolled DM or HTN are outside the midwife's scope, however, that does not mean you won't ever have to deal w/ them. There are many places in the US and elsewhere that you may be the sole pr...

10. Scared of being an RN in a hospital but need the experience

    bebeleche replied to wannabmidwife's topic in CNM

    Thanks Travduck. I also went into nursing because I wanted to become a CNM. At the time I was fairly young and had a sense that I needed both more maturity/life experience and also a greater sense of the pregnant woman as a whole person beyond the re...

11. CNM and FNP certification/degrees

    bebeleche replied to K-ron Marsalvo's topic in CNM

    I do like being an FNP. At the moment, I work in college health (which works well w/my family life for now), but when I was fulfilling my NHSC obligation in a rural setting, I was doing full-scope FP- a lot of OB and women's health and not just low-r...

12. CNM and FNP certification/degrees

    bebeleche replied to K-ron Marsalvo's topic in CNM

    There are jobs out there where you can use both. Don't get discouraged by what others say. The National Health Service Corps has a scholarship and a loan repayment plan if you plan to work in an area of great medical need. As Bree124 said, there are ...

15. Appying to school, questions

    bebeleche replied to vitkev13's topic in CNM

    That is an important question and one with 2 camps. Depending on who you ask, some say- Yes, it's totally necesary. Others say not at all, and it could even be a detriment. There are many threads in this forum that discuss the question in more detail...
