  1. Abusive preceptor

    Specialscar posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm in the final weeks of my CNM/WHNP MSN. My entire clinical experiences at 3 different practices have been riddled with abusive preceptors, but none compare to what my preceptor did this afternoon....

  2. EFM certification advice

    Specialscar posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello - I'm a CNM student and I need to attain my EFM certification - I've already registered for the report proxied test, but I'm unsure how to study for it. What has everyone else done? I found a...

  3. CNM with no L&D experience

    Specialscar replied to SillyFever's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thank you! I feel there is this unspoken (or sometimes quite loudly spoken) resentment at APN's who go straight through, in all fields. . .like they should have their time in the nursing trenches. ....

    Specialscar posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi! I'm finishing up my accelerated BSN in May 2020, and plan to (hopefully) attend Georgetown for my DNP. Several questions: I'm up there in age (42) and really really REALLY hate the idea that has...

  6. CNM with no L&D experience

    Specialscar replied to SillyFever's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm not sure if this question was directed at me, but I'll go ahead and answer it anyway haha. I'm currently at Georgetown University - some of the best universities in the nation accept RN's into CNM...

  7. The road to CNM

    Specialscar replied to Specialscar's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thank you! I just saw this message. I am working now as a home health nurse and it's perfect, although sometimes I'm a little envious of my colleagues who are experiencing so much - but then again...

  8. The road to CNM

    Specialscar replied to Specialscar's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm working as a pediatric home health nurse currently. I never had any other interviews. I'm 43 and have about 200 years of life experience (haha) I'm very confident in my interviewing and life...

  9. The road to CNM

    Specialscar replied to Specialscar's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I have two issues: one is that my program was expedited specifically for me to full time to accommodate the nurse corps scholarship's requirements, and GU tells me there's no way I can work with the...

  10. HRSA 2021-2022

    Specialscar replied to almost_A_nurse's topic in General Students

    Absolutely no one has emailed me about being my analyst, I got the email from a general HRSA sender about the webinar. I'm wondering why some recipients seem to have VIP service and some are just out...

  11. HRSA 2021-2022

    Specialscar replied to almost_A_nurse's topic in General Students

    I agree - I haven't heard anything about a transcript, and honestly I'm not going to send one this semester (my first term in grad school). I am attending the seminar on Oct 21 and will be sure to ask...

  13. CNM career change, L&D burnout

    Specialscar replied to gatorem's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I’m constantly shocked and disappointed at the lack of empathy and concern and support from nurses outside their place of work. I’m a new RN and walking a path most RN’s don’t support - I’m...

  14. The road to CNM

    Specialscar replied to Specialscar's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Update - I got into Georgetown and never got hired as an RN - which boggles my mind - probably applied to 60 or 70 jobs in the pandemic and in NJ while others I graduated with were hired - what’s up...

    Specialscar posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hello out there - just seeing if there are any people starting Georgetown's CNM/WHNP master's in the fall 2021? I just completed my accelerated BSN at Rutgers through Covid, so the online platform...

    Specialscar replied to Specialscar's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sorry I just saw your question - I can’t really remember, I applied early maybe in February and I think I heard back in April or May? But it’s all foggy! There are interviews and the process is...

  17. CNM with no L&D experience

    Specialscar replied to SillyFever's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I’m in a CNM program with no nursing experience whatsoever. I tried getting a job as soon as I was licensed in July and even though it’s a pandemic I never got a call. I cannot work because of my...

    Specialscar replied to almost_A_nurse's topic in General Students

    Oh! I have advice for you if you are going to reapply! I’m an RN and applied (and got it this year) in school for nurse midwifery/women’s health NP - my program was mostly PT, and I realized that...

    Specialscar replied to almost_A_nurse's topic in General Students

    I’m with you - I got my finalist email on august 6th….nothing has changed. Im not calling because the operators who answer the phone just basically have the same info we have - they’ll just...

  20. HRSA 2021-2022

    Specialscar replied to almost_A_nurse's topic in General Students

    I’m in the same exact boat - I was actually the first one on this forum to announce I had a credit check back in June…finalist since 8/6. I completely understand how you feel - I do this in my...

    Specialscar replied to almost_A_nurse's topic in General Students

    Specialscar replied to almost_A_nurse's topic in General Students

    There is a form specifically for the other scholarship - the school fills it out - disadvantaged background. It is optional, but I don’t think it is available for the nursing corps scholarship. They...

    Specialscar replied to almost_A_nurse's topic in General Students

    I was told to just go ahead and accept the loans - I’m a finalist but I technically begin class the 16th, and term bill is due the 20th so I just accepted the Loan and I’ll figure it out later. I...
