   junipers replied to Calinca's topic in NP Students

   Calinca: It actually sounds like you have a pretty good grasp of what clinicals, write-ups, and the pharmacology class will be like! Pharm involves some memorization of pathways, very minimal calculations and a lot of memorizing specifics about drug...

   NursePracHereIcome - Nope, I had mine over the phone. I flew out to Oregon to interview at OHSU and didn't have the funds or time to interview in Seattle as well!

   NursePracHereIcome - I moved from the east coast with my boyfriend and our cat to attend this program, and we are loving Seattle so far!

   junipers replied to Calinca's topic in NP Students

   Calinca - I believe we have the same screen name! I think Calinca (Калинка) in Russian means Juniper. Clinicals so far: 1. Be prepared for a ton of paperwork related to your assigned patient! The pre-clinical and post-clinical work often takes 12-15...

   Hi Group, current APNI here. Congrats on getting interviews! If you have any questions for a first year APNI in the midwifery track, let me know. Warmth, Junipers

   Hi Group, I am a current APNI in the nurse-midwifery track. I am happy to answer any questions that I can. I know this is a stressful process and applaud you guys for going through the entire applying for grad school circus!

7. OHSU's Accelerated BSN program 2012

   junipers replied to smallfry2's topic in Oregon

   Hello Group, I am currently an ABM student at a different university, but I wanted to let you know that I was accepted into the OHSU program for nurse-midwifery two weeks before the program started! So, if you are put on the waitlist, don't despair a...

8. Vanderbilt Pre-specialty Fall 2011

   junipers replied to SCNP2B's topic in Post Graduate

   I'm declining my acceptance to pre-specialty nurse-midwifery, so someone will be getting off of the waitlist soon!

10. CNM (midwife) Burnout

    junipers posted a topic in CNM

    I was told by my local CNM that burnout in the midwifery field is very high - I believe she said that the average CNM only practices full-scope for 5 years! Does this seem accurate? If so, how are people avoiding it? - Junipers

11. How much debt is reasonable for NP school?

    junipers replied to junipers's topic in Advanced

    It is a lot, no question. I could do the second half of the program part-time while working as an RN, and I may well do that. For nurse-midwifery, there are many fewer masters entry programs than other specialities and most of them leave you with ove...

12. How much debt is reasonable for NP school?

    junipers posted a topic in Advanced

    I am contemplating joining a masters-entry program that will leave me over $115,000 in debt by the end. Starting salary for certified nurse-midwives (my chosen field) seems to be about $70,000-$75,000 a year. Loan repayment programs seem to pay back ...

13. Job outlook for new grad NPs without nursing experience

    junipers replied to junipers's topic in Advanced

    The skills of nursing and the skills of a midwife do overlap somewhat, and I can see where having some nursing experience may make me a better CNM. I think being very open to learning from fellow nurses and other midwives and NPs will also help me ga...
