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

   Hi Nursology, I just noticed your post (we've been traveling for the past few weeks) and wanted to give you some thoughts. It's quite an interesting question - anesthesia and midwifery are....well,...

3. SUNY Downstate-Midwifery: Anti-Nursing?

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

   Hi Ktliz, No worries - I am just very very lucky I think! My husband is a biologist and this year was his sabbatical, so we were able to pack up the whole family (we have two girls already - ages 8...

4. Student Nurse Midwife looking for someone to shadow

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

   Hi Krshmt, I don't know if you are in the city or upstate, but there should be a lot of good options for you either way. ACNM meetings are a good start - there are tons of midwives practicing in NYC...

5. SUNY Downstate-Midwifery: Anti-Nursing?

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

   Hi Klitz, Yeah, I guess I sort of hijacked my own thread :) I feel like we hear so much about the nursing shortage in the US that we don't realize it is really a global phenomenon - and its'...

8. Frontier in 2012

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

   Is there no way to just apply really early so that you can find out earlier (or maybe defer for a later session so that at least you know you have a spot?) For example, I am not looking to start until...

9. Frontier in 2012

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

   Hi there, I am also planning on applying to Frontier for 2012- although that sounds crazy that they don't let you know if you've been accepted until 4 weeks before the start of term?! That can't be...

    ibambamama posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hello All, So I have been long trying to figure out which school to go to in order to finish my midwifery degree. I started at Columbia but stopped when I had my second baby. I am now expecting #3 and...

11. OB

    ibambamama replied to SNELM's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ha- in my hospital I don't think there is such a thing as too late! I've seen doctors order epidurals for their ladies who are fully dilated and seen mom's come upstairs from our birth center, after...

    ibambamama replied to Jiayou's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi there- I'm also new (12 wks orientation, 1 month on my own now). I've gotten faster at admissions, but it sounds like things run pretty differently at your hospital. For one thing, a lot of stuff...

14. First loss...

    ibambamama replied to ibambamama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks so much for all the support. I was also able to reach out to some of my friends who are also nurses, one of whom has been working in Peds Onc. for the past 2.5 years - I don't know how she does...

15. First loss...

    ibambamama posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Me again- new OB nurse (now officially off of orientation for 3 weeks!). It has been a lot of ups and downs for sure, but last night might have been the worst. My colleagues continue to be...
