1. Are all the beads worth it?

   Ohm108 replied to TinyDancer01's topic in Ob/Gyn

   The majority of the new grad L&d nurses on my floor have them on their badges. I asked a few of them about it and they have all told me as new nurses that they do feel that is useful to be able to double check their dilation after a SVE exam. ...

2. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

   Ohm108 replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

   I always go in with a trauma informed mindset. I almost always bring in a chaperone but that isn't always possible. We have a busy practice and both the RNs and MAs have other duties. If I have a new patient I haven't met before and I am conductin...

3. C-EFM Exam Prep Question

   Ohm108 replied to Tracy Windy's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Yikes, then I wish you the best of luck with your studying. Obtaining C-EFM without any OB experience as a new APRN reading EFM strips on the floor by your academic teaching hospital seems....harsh. This is why you usually start off on the floor an...

4. C-EFM Exam Prep Question

   Ohm108 replied to Tracy Windy's topic in Ob/Gyn

   @Tracy Windy Apologies, I posted my response to you on the other thread that you added to. Agree with klone, you generally only need basic and intermediate AWOHNN EFM certification to start as a CNM/WHNP. You do need at least intermediate AWOHNN EF...

5. EFM certification advice

   Ohm108 replied to Specialscar's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Just to clarify, you are taking the C-EFM as a requirement for graduation from your midwifery program or because your employer is requesting that you complete the C-EFM certification as a newly licensed CNM? Normally taking the basic and interme...

6. CNM without catching babies?

   Ohm108 replied to LittleWing21's topic in CNM

   Yes, if OB/GYN is your area of interest then don't go down the FNP route. A lot of people do the FNP route to be more marketable or have an easier time finding a job because you can see pts across the lifespan. But what I remind most people who are...

7. CNM without catching babies?

   Ohm108 replied to LittleWing21's topic in CNM

   Yes, there are midwives that only work OP but generally, they have been a midwife and have taken call for a number of years. They usually have decided that they don't want to take call anymore and want a more regular and set schedule. It would ...

10. APN/RXN in Colorado

    Ohm108 replied to lpeters's topic in Colorado

    Hi, Yes, you will need to have had an active RN license for 3 years before you are eligible for an RXN. The law was passed in 2017 but talking with some of my colleagues, they really didn't start implementing the requirement until sometime in 2...

11. CNM vs NP vs dual degree.... Need help finding direction.

    Ohm108 replied to obnurse406's topic in CNM

    I think there are a couple of CNM+FNP programs in the United States; the one that I am most familiar with is Vanderbilt University which offers a dual CNM/FNP program. https://nursing.vanderbilt.edu/MSN/nmwfnp/index.php

12. Transcripts for California Nursing School Licensure Question

    Ohm108 replied to ______'s topic in California

    Did you obtain your bachelor's degree in CA or in another state and/or country? I assume it is a non-nursing bachelor's degree since you are thinking of applying to MEPN programs. Where a lot of people get tripped up when applying for licensure in ...

13. Transcripts for California Nursing School Licensure Question

    Ohm108 replied to ______'s topic in California

    Your nursing school will send the transcript to the CA BON for the classes that you took that meet the CA BON's requirements to sit the NCELX-RN exam. Your school will explain the process in more detail once the candidate has completed the didac...

14. Yikes ! BreEZe is being replaced!

    Ohm108 replied to dougjiro's topic in California

    This is a good thing. CA license verifications to other states for endorsement took a long time with the previous manual process. It should now be faster since nurses endorsing to another state can request a license verification for their CA RN lic...

15. CNM with no L&D experience

    Ohm108 replied to SillyFever's topic in CNM

    I just wanted to add to what @rac1 said about OBs. I agree that the reason why I didn't want to pursue medical school was because I didn't want to practice like an OBGYN. When I was on clinical rotation, I saw how they are trained in terms of manag...
