  1. RN, new CNM student

    Hello, everyone! I just got my acceptance letter for this fall start CNM program in University of Cincinnati. I know that it is not that highly ranked as Frontier, but for me it holds some...
  2. New nurse, just told to find another unit

    Thank you! I remember that theory from school. But as one of my preceptors told me the other day, the hospital does not care, and I have to learn in the time I am given. Many years ago it took me 2...
  3. Hey fellow nurses, I started my first hospital job a month ago as a resource pool nurse. I graduated a year and a half ago and went to work outpatient as a mental health nurse. So, whatever...
  4. New nurse, just told to find another unit

    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...
  5. New nurse, just told to find another unit

    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...
  6. New nurse, just told to find another unit

    Officially 8 weeks now for a float pool days without nursing
  7. New nurse, just told to find another unit

    Thank you. No, I am still there. I guess they are figuring out where to send me. All units are constantly short, float pool is severely short. They higher new grads and inexperienced nurses like me...

  9. Nurse midwifery program with low GPA?

    Thank you, Jenny. I have no reservations about the career path because I was I midwife in another country. I know it all, good and bad. And thank you for the podcast suggestion, I will listen, it...
  10. Cincinnati midwifery program

    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,...
  11. Nurse midwifery program with low GPA?

    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...
  12. CNM with no L&D experience

    And yes, I was admitted without such an experience. I decided against it for the reasons I wrote above. I start the program this
  13. CNM with no L&D experience

    You know, your question is more difficult as it seems. The most practiced approach to birth in hospitals is the opposite of how midwives view and manage it. Practicing as a L&D nurse may be a...
  14. Older New RN

    I personally know an RN with associate degree that got into Frontier with portfolio. She had relevant RN experience for her specialty, about 1 or 2 years and relevant BS but not
  15. RN, new CNM student

    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...
  16. RN, new CNM student

    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...
  17. CNM career change, L&D burnout

    No, but I don't want to be a part of traumatic births created by providers. If you think in the US doctors always make decisions in best interests of their patients, especially in maternity, you...
  18. RN, new CNM student

    L&D experience is a must only in a couple of programs. Others want you to have some relevant experience, preferably L&D, but also a doula, midwife assistant, postpartum nursing or else. I have...
  19. RN, new CNM student

    Here what I like about that program so far. Note, I haven't started my classed yet. 1. Info session on zoom with possibility of live chat with faculty members. Was able to ask questions and...

    I am admitted for this fall and opened another post for
  21. Older New RN

    From time immemorial midwives were women in there menopausal years. Midwife is a motherly role, not a friend, a sister or a coach. It is a rare profession that is good to start in your 40s and 50s....
  22. CNM career change, L&D burnout

    No, you are not nuts. I decided against L&D clinical when in a nursing school and currently work as a mental health nurse. As a midwife you are a provider, not a person, that follows orders. I...
