1. RN-BSN or ADN-Frontier Bridge?

   CNM-to-be replied to kalley's topic in CNM

   I got in having less than a year's experience as an RN in a free-standing birth center. Because of Frontier's connection to the birth center movement, I think that really helped a lot. Also, I had a bunch of years under my belt working in the birth...

2. RN-BSN or ADN-Frontier Bridge?

   CNM-to-be replied to kalley's topic in CNM

   The ADN Bridge Program...hands down! I finished the Bridge in May and now I'm two terms into CNEP. I knew I wanted to go to Frontier after nursing school but dreaded the thought of getting my BSN. When they announced the ADN Bridge I didn't think...

3. Lay Midwives?

   CNM-to-be replied to topamicha's topic in CNM

   All 4 of my childrens births were attended by a CPM at home. I had wonderful experiences each time despite a tricky case of shoulder dystocia, a slow to start baby, and uterine atony d/t a 10# baby. In each case my mw was extremely professional and...

5. Does your program feature ER time in clinicals?

   CNM-to-be replied to mitchsmom's topic in General Students

   We get one clinical day in the ED if that counts.

6. Fall '05, what are you taking???

   CNM-to-be replied to LindseyLou2222's topic in General Students

   I started back this Monday. After a lazy semester of just taking psych (no care plans..yeah!) I'm having a hard time getting back into the routine. I was a little shell shocked when I got the schedule the 2 nursing courses I'm taking: OB/Peds and P...

7. Maternal/newborn experiences

   CNM-to-be replied to BCA4478's topic in General Students

   I'm in the same boat, too. The whole reason I'm even pursuing my RN is b/c I want to work c moms and babies. I jokingly say when I grow up I want to be a midwife :chuckle I haven't done my OB/Peds rotation yet...I'll get to that either this summer ...

9. Lotus Birth...What do yall think about this?

   CNM-to-be replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   the above is completely uncalled for. it was because of judgemental nurses *edited** that i chose to stay out of the hospital and have my children at home. i am finished with this thread.

10. Lotus Birth...What do yall think about this?

    CNM-to-be replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    from my research i found that up to 43% of fetal blood remains in maternal-fetal circulation when the placenta detaches. australlian physican, dr sarah buckley has some good information on this http://www.lotusbirth.com/doc/feb2003lotusbirth-314.htm ...

11. Lotus Birth...What do yall think about this?

    CNM-to-be replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, I've been reading through this thread and thought I'd add my POV. I have 3 homebirthed boys, the youngest 2 of which had Lotus births. I did a lot of soul-searching and researching before ds #2 was born and chose a Lotus birth for him b/c it ...

12. what should i do about school????? HELP!

    CNM-to-be replied to Student_Nurse_WV's topic in General Students

    I think either way you are looking at the same amount of time for both routes as most RN-to-BSN programs require some work experience. When I looked at my options it boiled down to distance from schools. The ADN program I'm in now is only an hour a...

13. Criminally Challenged?!

    CNM-to-be replied to miqbi's topic in General Students

    I never had any idea that other schools do things differently. I was re-admitted to my program this semester so the process is fairly fresh in my mind. I know for sure we did not have to consent to a background check for the college. We did howeve...

14. Criminally Challenged?!

    CNM-to-be replied to miqbi's topic in General Students

    Its the same here in NC as well. My college doesn't do a background check but the facilities we use do. Schools might let you sit in class but a clinical site isn't going to touch a record like that w/ a 10 ft pole. As other have said...I'd give a...
