CNMs can do homebirths in Florida.

VivaLasViejas, Thank you for sharing this and bringing awareness to a topic that needs to be talked about more. I struggle with anxiety/OCD, but I don't know if many of my acquaintances or friends...

It sounds like you made the right decision for yourself. The fact that you felt a burden being lifted is a sign that you made the right choice. I feel similarly, even though I'm just a...

Aww, congratulations - what an exciting moment for you!!

I just switched to PRN status this past Sunday. One of the main reasons for the switch was because I needed more time to focus on school (pursuing MSN). I like that I don't have to work 3 days a...

Congratulations on passing boards! :yeah: I would bookmark the TGH jobs website. From that page you can find a link on the left that says "Contact HR." There is a phone number listed there. I...

For my first job as a new grad, I had usually 4-5 (rarely 6) patients on days. For my 2nd job (with now a little over a year of experience), I get 5-6 patients on nights. I work on a tele...

As a new grad, I got 17 weeks of orientation (average at the facility for nurses was 12 weeks).

That is so neat how similar our interests are! For me, it's 1) Actress (wish I had pursued this more in high school and college - I guess there is still time.....) 2) Working with dolphins...

Flagler Hospital is located in St. Augustine (east coast). It was Florida's first magnet hospital. I get emails from them from time to time - in fact, I received one from them last week, stating...

I work on an intermediate care unit. We get ER admissions, direct admits, transfers from other hospitals, and ICU transfers. Once they come to our floor, they do not get transferred to a med-surg...

You may want to check out the field of nurse-midwifery. :) These days, most (if not all) nurse-midwives have gone through a MSN program.

The hospital at my previous job used the nurse locator devices (nurses had green ones, techs had red ones). We also carried around a Spectralink phone. Like beckster_01 mentioned, I liked how they...

CNA1991, I am not sure if you knew this already, but there is a sub-forum for certified nurse-midwives over here: http://allnurses.com/certified-nurse-midwives/ You may have a better chance at...

Not silly at all! HCA = Hospital Corporation of America. :)

You're very welcome! :)

Satellite Beach is a great place to live. :) I am not sure of hospitals that are known for being grad-friendly (as I haven't worked as a nurse on the Space Coast), but here are some hospitals that...

I renewed my RN license on April 8th. By the 12th, the new renewal date was up on the MQA website. This number was listed in the Current Licensee FAQ section: (850) 488-0595, menu option 3.

I was 24 when I graduated from an accelerated BSN program.

I don't know if they have one currently, but the Baycare hospital system offers graduate nurse internships. Tampa General sometimes offers internships as well. This may be a bit of a drive for you,...

RNCoastiewife is correct. :) Thank you for your input.

I have a question that is somewhat related to the OP's question. I am a nurse-midwifery student who is not working in L&D. I believe one of the hospitals I have applied to does not use CNMs. A...

I am a Frontier student, and I found out I was accepted to the program a little less than 3 months before Frontier Bound (orientation), and a little less than 5 months when classes actually started....

Yes, the Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing is a distance-based/online program. You do have to travel to Kentucky (where the school is based) twice throughout the program - once before...

Congratulations, EP Lover! :yeah:
