1. Student nurses: Earn 40/hr on COVID units?

   vimmie replied to xshado's topic in California

   I did a similar job in NYC in the Spring and Summer, worked as a nursing assistant while finishing school during the surge. Now I’m hired by the unit as a RN. Definitely worth it!

2. Take job for less money but more potential happiness?

   vimmie replied to AnaLong's topic in NP

   If you’ve been there 5 years that’s plenty of time at one job. When I was burnt out at my job , the best thing I did was get out of there and find something more fulfilling. Good luck!

3. Take job for less money but more potential happiness?

   vimmie replied to AnaLong's topic in NP

   Absolutely take it! Happiness is the most important thing and loneliness is the worst. From what you’ve said it seems a no brainier to me. How long have you been in your current position? If you are happier you are more likely to progress and make mo...

4. UK Midwife Married US Citizen

   vimmie replied to vimmie's topic in Ob/Gyn

   No problem! Good luck with everything. I just checked on the ACNM website and it says: "In order to take the exam that is offered by the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB), which leads to the credential CNM or CM, the individual must ha...

   Hi Maria! I hope I can help you out a bit. I think that your Spanish nursing qualifications will probably transfer to the US. The best way is to have your qualifications evaluated by an organization in the US. Hopefully a nursing agency will be fa...

6. MPH student hoping to apply to a ABSN program in NYC

   vimmie replied to RaquelR's topic in New York

   Hi there. I did all my pre-requisites for nursing school living in London through John Hopkins online. I know at the time, not all programs accepted online pre-requs but this year they are probably not as strict. John Hopkins were OK, were fair...

7. NYP- Public Service Loan Forgiveness?

   vimmie posted a topic in New York

   Hi there! I've just been hired by NYP and was wondering if it qualifies for public service loan forgiveness? This might be a silly question. Anyone know? Thanks so much

8. Can I be a CNM and believe in medical interventions?

   vimmie replied to Toast&Butters's topic in CNM

   Happy to reassure you. Most CNMs work in hospitals and work closely with physicians to achieve the best outcomes for pregnant people whether they have a completely blank medical/obstetric history or if they have had complications previously or ongoin...

9. CNM program for non-nurses

   vimmie replied to ag1043's topic in CNM

   For example- Columbia has a 15 months masters to get an RN (so you're not repeating your bachelors which is nice) and then the DNP midwifery is 2 years straight after that. Good luck with your search!

10. Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    vimmie replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It’s got to be better than some of the regular/renal/cardiac trays I’ve been seeing! Get more plants to those patients

    vimmie replied to vimmie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No problem at all! Hope it helps. You can definitely do it cheaper but I wanted to get back to work quickly. So it’s over $100k for an Ivy League school on their accelerated 18 month program. It ain’t cheap! But the teaching is very good and pay over...

    vimmie replied to vimmie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Don't worry- it is super confusing! So prior to like 2000 or so all UK nurses were 'general' trained. My aunt for example as part of her nursing did every large specialty (maternity, pads, adult, mental health). So it is easy for those nurses to qua...

    vimmie replied to vimmie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi S1mm1! I'm doing the accelerated nursing masters and then a midwifery clinical doctorate so will end up being a CNM in 2022! Can't wait to be a CNM. It's fascinating seeing the similarities and differences between UK and US maternity care. Both h...

15. Are we intervening too much?

    vimmie replied to NovaFNP22's topic in Advanced

    It’s easy and fairly accurate to date a pregnancy using a woman’s last menstrual period date. Ultrasounds are also not perfect- estimated due dates have a margin of several days either side. Babies have been weighed at homes and in hospitals for a l...
