1. What are some other good online CNM programs?

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

   http://nursingonline.uc.edu/tuition/ I do not have nursing experience, but am a CPM and have that as experience. The admission advisor kept getting that confused with doula and it sounded like that...

2. What are some other good online CNM programs?

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

   The first quarter was tough! One class took all I had and the other they designed to be fairly easy. So they know it is hard. I do work, am continuing my home birth practice, so I have some...

3. What are some other good online CNM programs?

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

   I am an alumni of Univ of Co having gone for the traditional BSN. I am confused, are you still needing to do the RN-BSN? U of C has that and some of those students were with us in class. I found...

4. CNM vs CM?

   LynnetteCPM replied to Devie06's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

   In some ways it is not. There is knowledge to be learned and clinical skills to be learned. But, most CPMs do not do typical school. Even the CPM schools are different from traditional schooling....

5. CNM vs CM?

   LynnetteCPM replied to Devie06's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

   I don't think that is what is happening here. I think the OP was confusing CM and LM and saying that the LM is trained differently as a CNM as we all know is true. then the multiple cutting and...

6. CNM vs CM?

   LynnetteCPM replied to Devie06's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

   It is just so hard to get all of those letters clear. Non nurse midwives in NM are known as LM. If they license the CM (those that take the same test as ACNM) then that will need to be investigated...

7. CNM vs CM?

   LynnetteCPM replied to Devie06's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

   This program helps you get a CPM (narm.org) not a CM. Then you could be licensed in NM as a LM (I think that is the license) and not a CNM or CM. I do know a few who have gone through the program....

8. Anyone start as as a lay midwife or CPM and then become CNM?

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

   Good point. What I don't like about the term (and I did catch that you said lay or CPM) lay is that in the past it was assumed that non-nurse midwives were completely untrained. Sometime we get a...

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

   I am a CPM, RM and will be finishing the BSN program December of 2009. My plan is to enter a CNM program as soon as possible. I think you can make a living being a CPM and do good work- it makes a...

10. CNM vs. Direct Entry as far as salary goes...

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

    As a DEM I am self employed so I can't think of it as "salary" It is going to be very dependent on where you live and how busy you are. No way to predict. After two full years as a midwife, I am...

11. Direct entry midwife

    LynnetteCPM replied to Vicky003's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi, I am also a CPM (2 years) and am in nursing school right now for some of the reasons that you state here. When I started my CPM training I thought that would be enough for me and my family....

12. Becoming an RN after being a CPM

    LynnetteCPM replied to ENanasca1's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yes, frectis (my IRL friend) that is what I meant, the "real" college course work should count, but check those time limits! I barely skated in on >20 year old psych and soc classes....

13. Becoming an RN after being a CPM

    LynnetteCPM replied to ENanasca1's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife) and now in nursing school (bsn program.) I took classes at the community college during my CPM training years that applied to the BSN. But, none of my...

14. UCDHSC Waitlist?

    LynnetteCPM replied to kitsune01's topic in Colorado Nursing

    It is a waitlist for the year only. I received the same letter last year and accepted it. After the initial acceptance period, I moved up the line and was offered a spot in May. I chose the Jan...

15. Question for UCDHSC Students on Classes

    LynnetteCPM replied to TKBSN2b's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I don't have an answer, except that I am starting UCHSC in Jan 08 (trad) also and am planning on taking the lab after class on Monday or after Pharm on Wed. I will be driving in from Greeley and want...
