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

    vimmie replied to xshado's topic in California Nursing

    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

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

    vimmie replied to AnaLong's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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

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

    vimmie replied to AnaLong's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

  4. UK Midwife Married US Citizen

    vimmie posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi there. I was advised to repost this in this forum to see if I got some more advice. I got married this year to my American husband and I have my green card now (woop!) and will be moving over next...

  5. 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...

  6. UK Midwife Married US Citizen

    vimmie replied to vimmie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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...

  7. NYP- Public Service Loan Forgiveness?

    vimmie posted a topic in New York Nursing

    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

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

    vimmie replied to RaquelR's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

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

    vimmie replied to Toast&Butters's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, 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...

  10. CNM program for non-nurses

    vimmie replied to ag1043's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, 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

  11. 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

    Lemme send you a private

  13. UK Midwife Married US Citizen

    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...

  14. UK Midwife Married US Citizen

    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,...

  15. UK Midwife Married US Citizen

    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...

  16. Are we intervening too much?

    vimmie replied to NovaFNP22's topic in Advanced Practice

    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....

  17. Are we intervening too much?

    vimmie replied to NovaFNP22's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes. Definitely there is a middle ground. I come from a country where you have a national health service where there is no billing the patients and no charging insurance companies so people get what...

  18. Kudos/Patient Compliments

    vimmie replied to Nnurse3030's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds like you are a wonderful nurse. I wouldn’t loose any sleep about it. I tried to figure out the science between the care me and my colleagues provided and the praise we received but who...

  19. Transitional Care Nursery! Help!

    vimmie replied to djohnston28's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can only speak from the UK but we would never separate mom and baby within the first 4 hours (unless in an emergency and one or both was very sick). The midwife (we don’t have OB nurses) would...

  20. sposue/partner present during labor and delivery

    vimmie replied to kevinm23's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yeh- don’t think you’ll find much because there are very few women that don’t have their spouse/partner in the labor room with them these

  21. sposue/partner present during labor and delivery

    vimmie replied to kevinm23's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You could look at women's opinion on their birth experience. Like how satisfied they were with their birth experience or you could look at the rate of c sections or epidurals between different women...

  22. Getting over a bad outcome

    vimmie replied to L&D4Lyfe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds like you are doing the right things, talking to colleagues and supervisor about it. Talk about it as much as you need to. It will take time. Time is a great healer and with time comes...

  23. How OB nurses work with CNMs

    vimmie posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi there! Had a question about how OB nurses work with CNMs in the labor room and in the postpartum floors of the hospitals. In the labor room, do the nurses do the observations of mums and lady...

  24. How OB nurses work with CNMs

    vimmie replied to vimmie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I’m looking forward to comparing the two ways of working but with the two very different healthcare systems I feel it might be comparing apples to oranges. Im looking forward to having full...

  25. How OB nurses work with CNMs

    vimmie replied to vimmie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Nice! Best of luck with the NCLEX. I hear that it’s all in the preparation. Will you go into L&D nursing or another
