   Thank you so much, Kooky, for the support, kind words and some grammar notes ))). There is no way to edit the initial post. Float nurses may have 2 assignments in an 8 hours shift. So, charting...

3. New nurse, just told to find another unit

   MariannaCNMstudent replied to MariannaCNMstudent's topic in First Year After Licensure

   It is not like 3 weeks, officially it is 8. However, I don't think 8 weeks is OK training time for 8 units to float for somebody with zero experience. I believe the whole strategy is bad. They had to...

9. Cincinnati midwifery program

   MariannaCNMstudent replied to Marianna Mozhaeva's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

   Hey there! How is it going with clinical placement? How did you go about it? I already started thinking about the process and I wonder about practical steps. Did you email places, go visit,...

10. Nurse midwifery program with low GPA?

    MariannaCNMstudent replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I don't like Frontier for the lack of communication from their side. I had a lot of questions they never answered and they seem to like being very competitive that I believe not a good thing in...

    Thank you for good wishes. All midwifery programs have a threshold of 3.0 GPA. They are not taking people with lower GPA. But they discuss with those how to raise GPA to be eligible to apply. So...

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

    It is not my intention to avoid problematic deliveries. Rather the opposite, I want to provide full care to underserved and vulnerable populations. My "else" is years of experience as a hospital...
