  1. Mother/Baby VENT!!!

    waterfall99 replied to BaByNuRsE07's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know exactly how you feel, I'm currently working at a hospital, fortunately temporarily as it's a travel assignment and they are trying to get magnet status, which is code for bending over backwards...

  2. CNM job outlook in Kansas

    waterfall99 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm in the kansas city area, and I do think CNM jobs are slim pickings around here, not many places hiring, but then again things change on a weekly basis around here, new groups popping up and such....

    waterfall99 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    waterfall99 replied to waterfall99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    thanks for your response, so it's my understanding, I have to wait until I have a job and have received my licensure, before I can

  8. Online program recommendations

    waterfall99 replied to bhstarz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are not just stating your opinion, you are making assumptions, generalizations and overall providing complete inaccuracies to anyone reading this forum. Btw, what kind of programs have you been...

  9. Online program recommendations

    waterfall99 replied to bhstarz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's one thing to state your opinion comparing the 2 modalities, it's another to overgeneralize about online programs not doing this or that. This is a quite from my ONLINE MSN program manual...

  10. Financing your education

    waterfall99 replied to bebeleche's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    any other ideas here, for specifically midwifery? Aren't there some loans especially for that field? I'm trying to get creative too. I am considering the National health Service Corp, they reimburse...

  11. What the most protein you have seen in a 24hr urine??

    waterfall99 replied to EllenDeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    15 grams is the highest I think I've seen, I work a pretty high risk place, I dont' remember how many weeks she was, tho. Recently had a patient, having her 2nd child, after she was so severely...

  14. UCSF CNM program

    waterfall99 replied to fbee's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm just curious as to why if you didn't get in, why are you waiting an entire year to reapply there? Why not consider a distance learning school? I'm curious to know people's reasons for choosing...

    waterfall99 replied to finallyRN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  16. University of Cincinati Online CNM program

    waterfall99 replied to finallyRN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I like the small class size. I like the way the curriculum is set up, it's different than frontier. You don't have to visit the campus, at all. I've been very pleased with them so far. I know...

  17. University of Cincinati Online CNM program

    waterfall99 replied to finallyRN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm curious to know anything about this school as well. What do you mean clinical placements? I thought you had to find your own preceptors and such, much like I thought how Frontier

  18. Is this birth plan reasonable

    waterfall99 replied to wulfbourne's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There is no reason to do a full head-toe assessment and weigh and measure the baby in the first 5 minutes. We not only allow our moms to do skin-skin for the entire first hour, we encourage it! We...

    waterfall99 posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    waterfall99 replied to traumamomtx30's topic in General Nursing

  21. Time: in room to epidural?

    waterfall99 replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    waterfall99 replied to rnWinn's topic in Ob/Gyn

  25. NICHD and AWHONN fetal monitoring guidelines

    waterfall99 replied to waterfall99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Aye! I don't have the time or the desire to organize it, but if I can just produce the info to the manager maybe she will get on it. I took the updated class just in June, but about a year prior to...
