2. Why do patients like these go to a doctor?

   MidwifeWannaB replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

3. Why do patients like these go to a doctor?

   MidwifeWannaB replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

   My midwives are legal and licensed by the state, as is their birth center. They very rarely have to transport to the hospital, as they only take low-risk pregnancies. The advantage to a home birth is...

4. BSN vs ADN

   MidwifeWannaB replied to Sassybottom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   I personally am going to get my BSN rather than my ADN because I want to be a midwife, which means a masters or doctorate. For me, it just makes more sense from a time management standpoint. When it...

5. Why do patients like these go to a doctor?

   MidwifeWannaB replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

   I delivered my first daughter at a free-standing birth center attended by midwives and never saw an OB. I got some strange looks when I told people that, but I did my research and trusted my midwives....

6. Reasons why you want to be a nurse

   MidwifeWannaB replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I want to be a nurse so I can become a midwife (obviously, by my username). I want to be a midwife because my daughter was born into the hands of 2 wonderful midwives, as, God willing, will the rest...

7. What's worst than getting rejected? I know!

   Congratulations! :balloons: Now all that's left is money and lots of hard work, stress and study! You seem very determined, though--I know you'll do

8. Any nurse-midwives out there?

   MidwifeWannaB posted a topic in Nursing Career

   I have been contemplating the prospect of going back to nursing school (dropped out 4 years ago in my second semester) and becoming a midwife. My daughter was born in a birth center owned and operated...

9. Any advice for newRNstudent

   MidwifeWannaB replied to newRNstudent's topic in General Students

   I just finished my first semester, and I found that because I was really enjoying myself, it was not as difficult as I thought it would be. The best advice I can give you is to make friends with your...

10. Memories of nursing school.....

    MidwifeWannaB replied to wv_nurse 2003's topic in General Nursing

    I am a current first semester AD student and I really don't have any good stories yet, but I just wanted to say that I have laughed harder reading these posts than I have in a couple of weeks. I'm...

11. Pinning ceremony

    MidwifeWannaB replied to Marlo2bRN's topic in General Students

    I don't know how my school does it, but I really hope we have a pinning ceremony. I'm a sucker for tradition. :)

12. Is Microbiology really that scary

    MidwifeWannaB replied to bet0326's topic in General Students

    I'm just finishing up Micro this semester (actually, I just had my Lab final earlier this morning) and it has been my most challenging class. I have studied and studied and studied some more--even in...

13. I hate A&P!!!!!!

    MidwifeWannaB replied to studentdeb's topic in General Students

    I took both A&P's during the summer, and that was tough. We had a major lecture and lab test every week. I made B's in both of them (which I was happy to accept), but I enjoyed them too. They...
