  1. Frontier Bridge vs RN-BSN?

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

    Frontier, Frontier, Frontier. Not having a BSN will be trumped by having an MSN! Small worry. My friends that did bridge are glad they did....it forced them to move and not quit (I've got a BSN...

  2. Am I too old to become a CNM

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

    Dear oldenurselady, I've been told that people don't get old, clothes do! Do you really think you'll be 50 before you get out of school? Nah. You will be late 40s. Know some great CNMs who started...

  3. Anyone enter CNM with little to no nursing experience?

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

    I really do appreciate the balance that starryeyed brings to this question that many ask. Some are very adamant about this, I can understand what the emotional value could be for a preceptor who has...

  4. Coworker reported me for something I hadn't done = Final warning

    fmwf replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    "Don't confront her. If you're with her alone she'll probably say you touched her or something. As soon as you find a new job, quit this one. Don't give them two weeks, just quit. Normally I'd never...

    Do it do it do it do it! Start tonight! Do it! Hugs! That is Horrible, Yucky tears and shake that off. Well can we just say forget them? Can we say that? Frontier is about serendipity they...

  6. Does it matter that the ACNM does not support DNP requirements?

    fmwf replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This is the million dollar question. Feedback indicates that CNMs b/f 2015 will be grandfathered in (as long as they meet the 2010 Masters date). There is word out that there could be a DM (Doctor...

    fmwf replied to connieindc's topic in Post Graduate Students

    fmwf replied to byrd262's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Update: I did have my interview for Phila U. on 06/04. It lasted quite a while--as it was thorough. I did learn that this program is designed to specialize in nurturing/mentoring students with...

  12. Dealing with fear

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

    One thing I have learned about performing is to think less (or not) about your self/ego and more about doing the right thing and doing the thing right. And breathe!

  13. "Hippie" Image

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

    People are dynamic. They do change and "improve". They can also be influenced. By mass media, by market and by you . At the turn of a dime, a woman who has never even heard of a midwife can decide...

  14. Dealing with fear

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

    Just wanted to post that moving through fear is the lesson of labor--by extension being "born" as a midwife. Some birthing techniques that address fear have their application for life. One is in the...

  17. Scared of being an RN in a hospital but need the experience

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

    Quick naive question...is it within the scope of practice to care for women with these health issues as a midwife (CNM) I kinda don't remember anymore... anybody?

  18. Getting sick over and over again

    fmwf replied to Valerie Salva's topic in General Nursing

    Could it be somethings else/too/in addition...EBV...Candida...? Might be way off, but I was there too, had to find a good family physician who really got to the bottom of it. I made some simple...

  19. Scared of being an RN in a hospital but need the experience

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

    This conversation is so honest. I thought I was the only one. I became a nurse only b/c of midwifery. However I could not land an L&D position for where I live. Everyone who knows me says I...

  20. Any personal experience with Phila U, Georgetown, or Upenn?

    fmwf replied to byrd262's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I have same experience in applying to Phila U as well. They are personable and professional and helpful and I will say...warm! Trying to find a preceptor/site now; my sure thing had to move away....
