Nice to meet y'all! Esf- definitely try at CCH & Falmouth. When I graduated in '08 it was difficult, though not impossible, to get a job there as a new grad. Having a BSN should help. I'm not sure...

I live and work on Cape Cod! :)

I'd check out the Healthy Children course. I did it last spring and it was fabulous!!! http://www.healthychildren.cc/CLC.HTM They host workshops all around the country. Good luck!

I didn't have a huge amount of experience when I was a camp nurse, and it went just fine! I'd brush up on the biggest issues you may encounter (for me it was Lyme disease and poison ivy). When in...

I'm very curious as to what CNMs' schedules are like too. I've tried asking on this board before, but didn't get too many answers. Seems to vary a lot...which is sort of daunting in a "what could I...

Thanks Klone! The 6-9 months for clinical is the recommendation for part-time? It looked like for full-time, they blocked off 3 terms for it (9 months) which made me think that it would be longer...

i tried to search for this on allnurses to no avail! about how many hrs per week do you spend completing the clinical requirements when you attend frontier part-time? must be so hard if you're...

I second Baby Catcher, it's now one of my favorite books!!

While no one has answered here, I've found some disheartening info on another forum saying that it's not a very good company to work for :( Who knows though, could just be their opinion!

Sorry you're feeling so stressed! Those are two very different jobs! What do you ultimately want to do as a nurse? While the NICU has high acuity and will be faster paced, you'll also be...

I'm thinking of applying as well! Personal Health RN? Hope you get some feedback :)

From what I've read, it seems like they tell everyone around the same time (except for those waitlisted). They may need to fill the applicant pool before they begin making decisions. I could be...

Thanks everyone!!! I think part of my worry stems from the fact that I don't know what my husband's hours will actually be in the future....he's hoping to become a full-time police officer but only...

Bumping! Are there really no midwives with little kids here?!?! Please help!

Littlemamanurse: For NP options there's Neonatal, Pediatric, or Family NP. There's also the option of becoming a Clinical Nurse Specialist, which in some states is considered advanced practice...

That's really the one thing that is making me hesitate...can you raise a family and be a midwife? Hrmmm...Thanks for bringing up that point!

I'm in a similar boat right now! Debating PNP vs Midwife. I'm starting to lean toward CNM though because I have little interest in diagnosing illness and prescribing medications. I feel like CNM...

haha YES!!! On that same note: Don't pull into our parking lot in your BMW/Lexus/Mercedes and then hand us your MassHealth card (aka Medicaid)!!!!! So annoying!
