   Laceyrochelle26 posted a topic in NP Students

   Is anyone an alumni from Kaplan of your FNP? I'm not finding many people in the students section and I would love to ask you a few questions if so. I am thinking of applying but just want to choose a good program. Thank you in advance!

2. Out of hospital Midwife?

   Laceyrochelle26 replied to Laceyrochelle26's topic in CNM

   Thank for all the responses :-) Yes being on my own right out of graduate school would make me nervous... the few midwives I've spoken with said that you would transfer a lot of patients in the beginning just because you aren't as comfortable... ev...

3. Suggestions... CNM, FNP.. dual specialty?

   Laceyrochelle26 replied to Laceyrochelle26's topic in NP Students

   That is how it is when I work triage/rounding with our cardiology group in patient... usually out late and very busy. The CV surgery used to have their own nurses too but a few years ago they changed and now only NP round for them.

4. Out of hospital Midwife?

   Laceyrochelle26 replied to Laceyrochelle26's topic in CNM

   I'm just curious what a typical day is like for them.... how many patients they normally take at a time for a solo practice. I have an 18 month old daughter and we are planning on having more children. I am interested in midwifery and the whole nat...

5. Suggestions... CNM, FNP.. dual specialty?

   Laceyrochelle26 replied to Laceyrochelle26's topic in NP Students

   I am wondering if I need to give up on the thought of getting to work locally.... our local hospital is critical access so it is small. I don't see much need for even a rounding nurse or a nurse practitioner to assist the hospital. I guess that cou...

   Are there any CNM on here that work out of hospital? Home or birth center?

   Laceyrochelle26 replied to Laceyrochelle26's topic in CNM

   Yes I've found a few schools that offer dual degrees but they aren't online and we don't live anywhere near them.... moving right now isn't really a good option for us so sadly those are out :-( I would be all over it otherwise!!!

9. Anyone Else Torn on Specialty??

   Laceyrochelle26 replied to Laceyrochelle26's topic in NP Students

   Haha... well I have to admit before I ever experienced pregnancy/birth.. before I ever truly researched it and read A LOT about it I always thought those "crunchy hippy" people were crazy. There is a LOT of benefit to a lot of the practice. Now we'...

    Laceyrochelle26 posted a topic in NP Students

    Hello everyone I am looking for input for someone who has been there or has any experience or advice to offer. I am wanting to return to graduate school to become a NP. I have been a RN for almost 9 years... I have always worked in some cardiology s...

12. Questions... starting on LLC?

    Laceyrochelle26 replied to Laceyrochelle26's topic in Entrepreneurs

    Our local hospital does provide a class but it is the normal hospital class. I would focus on a natural birthing class such as a bradley method, hypo babies etc... I wouldn't take that specific class but I would make it one of the 10-12 week natural...

13. Questions... starting on LLC?

    Laceyrochelle26 posted a topic in Entrepreneurs

    Hello all, I'm not really sure where to post this.. it would fit into a couple topics but I don't see an area for Lactation, Birth educators etc even though many are nurses I guess you don't have to be. Anyway.. I live in a rural area - it is about a...
