I just need to share and gush. I had a wonderful interview yesterday

[klone, MSN, RN]

For an L&D position at a large university teaching hospital. But wait - it's in their low-risk birthing center that's attended by midwives. MIDWIVES! The hospital I work at now wouldn't DARE allow midwives, all we have are OBs. But because it's a tertiary care facility, I will probably see much more than I do now at my smallish community hospital.

I'm so freaking excited I can't stand it. I will hear by the end of the week if I got the position.

The best part is when they asked if I had any scheduling restrictions, I mentioned that I would need a week off at the end of August to attend orientation at the grad school I will be attending in KY. They immediately said "Oh, are you going to Frontier? We have several nurses here who are attending Frontier, it's a great school."

Keep your fingers crossed for me please. The only downside I can see to the job is that it's about a 40-minute commute (well, and nights, but I knew that was an inevitability).

Sounds exciting! Good luck!

YEAH!! That sounds like an ideal setting! Where is it located? I'm at a large university teaching hospital, and we have tons of midwives, but no separate birth center (which I would love to change!!). We do have a free-standing birth center in our city that I work in, but the volume is low.

By the way... you'll LOVE Frontier!!!

Congrats, that is exciting! I'd be interested to hear more about Frontier. I've started looking into Masters programs and they are one that's on my radar. Good luck!

It's in Denver. It's not a separate birthing center per se, but rather their low risk unit, which is on a separate floor from their high risk unit and NICU.
