  7. Pericare- which way is correct?

    KYCNM replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I reviewed Perry and Potter which is a standard nursing skills text, but I disagree with what it says. It says to wash the labia majora to the orifice on one side with the washcloth wrapped around...

    KYCNM replied to zwoman80's topic in General Nursing

    It would help if you included your area of practice, however, I will do my best to explain evidence based practice from my clinical perspective. In the neonatal nursery, male infants are circumcised...

    KYCNM replied to Khadijah2's topic in General Nursing

    I was a preceptor for a university program. A student I accepted for the final clinical semester was supposedly an experienced L & D nurse as were the nurses on the unit. The first day in...

  13. So Upset

    KYCNM replied to Beeanurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree that you need some time off to distance yourself from the experience. Then, I recommend a review course (if you can afford it). There are many things to keep in mind when taking the exam....

    It depends upon where you work. CNMs earn $80K and >, however malpractice is a greater concern because of the intrapartum responsibility. If the job is the same (i.e., birth control for PP) I...

    No, non-nurses who take the midwifery boards are not "CNM" they are "CM". As a past certification board member, I was there through the transition from essay boards to multiple choice boards to...
