2. New grad Midwife! Which job??!?

   Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in CNM

   Thanks for your response! The first job doesn't seem to offer much support as it seems pretty busy, kind of like a hospitalist cnm role (youre on your own, sink or swim). The second job has a couple of seasoned midwives that seem nice enough to ...

6. CNM vs NP vs dual degree.... Need help finding direction.

   Ria21 replied to obnurse406's topic in CNM

   Hey! I would totally do the dual program! Here's why...you want to be on the labor floor. WHNP may exclude you from that in some states. You are more marketable with both. A LOT of places hire CNMs over Mps because they can deliver if they have to (i...

   Hey guys! If you're a full time RN at Johns Hopkins hospital or Johns hopkins university, does anyone know what their tuition reimbursement/remission policies are?? Does anyone know how much they'll cover for tuition, especially if attending johns Ho...

8. CNM vs NP vs dual degree.... Need help finding direction.

   Ria21 replied to obnurse406's topic in CNM

   Hi! So I'm a WHNP and I do understand the dilemma! When I was applying for my Master's, I applied for both the NP and CNM program as I love women's health (and they didn't have a dual option! I ended up choosing the WHNP program because it worked for...

9. DNP NECESSARY????

   Ria21 replied to TheFuture09's topic in Doctoral

   I agree with you Numenor! I do think the majority of DNP programs are fluff and you're pretty much doing the same thing as in an MSN research class. It drove me crazy for yeeears and I refused to get a DNP as well. My feelings about this were SUPER s...

10. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in NP

    Just a quick update! I ended up resigning from the position. I was fighting too many battles and outing too many fires. It was exhausting! It really put a bad taste in my mouth for clinic work in a private office. Hoping I will be able to find a grou...

11. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in NP

    I believe it! I do agree that they are seemingly looking for someone to do the role of nurse and NP. it's definitely not what we discussed on interview so my impression of the role was different. And yes, people hear "NURSE practitioner" and they jus...

12. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in NP

    Thanks For the advice! I agree that helping here and there adds confusion. There really is no one person to talk to...i expressed my thoughts in a meeting but to no avail. I will try again this week, but I'm starting to conclude that this place was j...

13. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in NP

    I see patients with the doctors for now...which is why I say no to these other requests. There is so much more involved in my actual role that I could use that time for. Smh...just kinda mad at myself that I ended up in this situation. I know I have ...

14. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in NP

    I agree with not doing anything the doctors don't do. I started saying no to the requests of giving injections, drawing blood etc. One of the doctors told me that my attitude is "bad" bc I'm expected to do whatever is asked of me. I don't think they ...

15. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in NP

    I agree that it's quite bizarre! I think the office is trying to cut corners as I'd be cheaper than MD. I do receive NP salary though, but I guess with the expectation of playing a dual role, which is deceiving. *sigh*
