1. L&D Interview!

   queenanneslace replied to SimpliFutureCNM's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Taking CEU classes or attending seminars on pregnancy and labor and birth will help strengthen your resume. Attend fetal monitoring workshops - there is so much to learn in L&D, and the more you can come in with, the better. Labor support, ...

2. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

   queenanneslace replied to DesiDani's topic in COVID

   "How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?" I want to revisit this question, now that my place of employment has a vaccine mandate in place. How many unvaccinated coworkers? ZERO. This number is a lot different than a couple w...

3. Texas Dr violates abortion law!

   queenanneslace replied to guest1163268's topic in Activism

   Can you expand on this a little bit? What do you think is going to happen? To Google? facebook?

4. Vaccination Mandating

   queenanneslace replied to Ariemay82's topic in COVID

   Because it's a population strategy, not an individual one. High rates of unvaccinated people in a community cause harm to all of us: in terms of not only illness and suffering, but overwhelming hospitals, closing schools, rendering our society semi-d...

5. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

   queenanneslace replied to DesiDani's topic in COVID

   I'm not in charge of firing nurses, so I'm not sure of the exact game plan. I agree, it is massively disruptive to staffing, and dangerous to patients. But I cannot fathom why my colleagues are refusing the vaccine, as I was getting tired of try...

6. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

   queenanneslace replied to DesiDani's topic in COVID

   Until yesterday, I hadn't logged on to Allnurses in well over a year. I've missed the critical thinking and intelligent responses and dialogues here. It gives me some hope for nursing. For some, the truth hurts. Critical thinking hurts. I just ...

7. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

   queenanneslace replied to DesiDani's topic in COVID

   Yeah. And we wouldn't have to replace any of them if they were willing to get a safe and effective vaccine.

8. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

   queenanneslace replied to DesiDani's topic in COVID

   In trying to understand the absurdly high anti-vax rate among my coworkers and colleagues, this explanation makes sense. It's not real to them, any critically-ill pregnant patient is sent to ICU. I disagree that it's easy to train and replace O...

9. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

   queenanneslace replied to DesiDani's topic in COVID

   Well, they appear to be risking their jobs with their choices. Think of how caring and compassionate to patients they'll be while they're unemployed.

10. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    queenanneslace replied to DesiDani's topic in COVID

    How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of? How many? Over half my department (OBGYN), this includes providers and RNs. ?

11. Frontier CNM Program hours of study per week

    queenanneslace replied to kannasc's topic in CNM

    I went to Frontier. I had to find my own clinical sites. So no, they did not help me find my clinical placement at all. This may have changed in recent years? I'm not sure. We were on our own.

12. Can I be a CNM and believe in medical interventions?

    queenanneslace replied to Toast&Butters's topic in CNM

    I found the question refreshing. And here is my answer: YES! Absolutely! It's a pretty common misconception - among MANY people - patients, nurses, physicians and the public at large - that midwives eschew medical interventions and technology. And th...

13. Most successful way to find a preceptor

    queenanneslace replied to Ashley9247's topic in CNM

    I see a lot of questions about finding preceptors, and not a lot of responses. First (maybe this is obvious) - making online requests to the universe at large for a preceptor is probably not very effective. This is what I'd suggest: NETWORKING - in...

14. Frontier CNM Program hours of study per week

    queenanneslace replied to kannasc's topic in CNM

    I worked 24-32 hours per week on average. I had to do a lot of networking - and way ahead of time - to secure a site. Ideally, I wanted more sites, but it worked out that the practice was large enough and diverse enough that I got good experience. A...

15. Frontier CNM Program hours of study per week

    queenanneslace replied to kannasc's topic in CNM

    I enrolled part-time for a couple of reasons. - My workplace had tuition reimbursement if I maintained my work schedule at a certain FTE. It was fairly generous - $3500-4000/year toward a graduate degree program if I remember correctly. -Working par...
