  1. Accommodations at Frontier??

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to peeweedelivery's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You will stay on campus in a dorm room that has been assigned to you. The rooms are amazing! Yes, they are the basics - bed, desk, dresser - but they give you all of the linens you need, plus 2...

  2. Accepted to frontier!!!!

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to TLAandy's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    welcome to a wonderful, wonderful journey!! PS - I'm a Bridge Class 64

  3. No jobs in OB nursing!!

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to what2donow's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I work in Harrisburg, PA. The entire hospital is in a hiring freeze the last I heard - however, we have a few positions posted for L&D! And we had a few nurses recently resign from PRN positions...

  4. Question for all of you Frontier students (or any others, really!)

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to what2donow's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm a Frontier student (Bridge program, just completed 3rd term). Bridge is considered fulltime. I work 32 hrs/week (4 eve shifts), have a house husband who watches our youngest child (first...

  5. No jobs in OB nursing!!

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to what2donow's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    What you need to do is submit your application to your local hospitals. Many job positions are NOT posted. Where I work, new grads are hired right into

  6. The elephant in the room - relationships between CNM and L&D nurses

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to epiphany's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I have to say, I work with some terrific midwives. I don't feel like there is "an elephant in the room" when working with the CNMs on L&D. Power struggles? Nope. We all seem to be on the same...

  7. finding cervix

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to BlaineCM's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I've had to have my own cervix manually palpated to locate it by the midwife doing my last pap, before she tried again with the speculum. I'm also a former "big girl" so I suppose I still have a lot...

  8. finding cervix

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to BlaineCM's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Have you also tried finding your own cervix with a speculum? Are you in clinicals right

  9. Statistics Prerequisite for Frontier School

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to Doodleit's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I have heard of the U Utah stats course. That's the one that's 8 months or so long, right? It's accepted by Frontier if you have a Bachelor's

  10. Thinking about going for my CNM - questions...

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to barefoot~mama's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Nursing school can be quite stressful - I won't lie to you - but entirely doable if you put your mind to it and are determined. I went into nursing school at age 23 (the pre-req's - I had no prior...

  11. Statistics Prerequisite for Frontier School

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to Doodleit's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I took stats before applying to the program at Frontier (ADN to MSN bridge), and they do not accept it. The only way they would accept my stats if I had a bachelor's in nursing or in another field....

  12. Frontier Bound Class 65???

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to love_my_boys's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I have to agree with Shannon (Smark35). Frontier has a longer history, tons of grads across this country, and has an awesome reputation. I work with a CNM who graduated from U of Cinn, and she said...

  13. RN-BSN or ADN-Frontier Bridge?

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to kalley's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    The bridge year at Frontier is only $8000. It's, in my opinion, much much cheaper than paying for a 2 year education to get your

  14. Frontier Bound Class 65???

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to love_my_boys's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Congratulations!! Like others have said before me, you will LOOOOOOOVE your time at Frontier Bound. I actually wished it was longer!!! Jennifer, Bridge 64 CNEP Student

  15. Frontier is FANTASTIC !

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to Smark35's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Here here! Shannon, you articulated our experience very well, especially as our fearless student council rep. :loveya: I had few doubts going into this program actually. Even if the program turned...

  16. Frontier Bound Class 65???

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to love_my_boys's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You have to wait it out. I know, it sucks to have to wait.......but be patient! I found out via email on the day that they said we would find out (Oct 1st). PS - I'm in class 64 - going to Bound on...

  17. RN-BSN or Frontier Bridge Classes

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to kalley's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    If you do the Bridge at Frontier (which I'm doing), you only need your ADN degree. If you decide to do the RN-BSN, then you can apply straight for the MSN program of study at Frontier. You would...

  18. IV iron protocol??

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to JennyinLD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have never given IV iron. However, knowing my hospital, there is a policy somewhere on how to give it!!

  19. Aspiring CNM in L&D

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to Goozgog's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Ahhh Shannon...you and I think alike!! To the original poster - you learn to do work within the system, just like what Shannon gave fine examples of. Learn as much as you can, find co-workers who...

  20. Have you taken one of these Stats courses for Frontier entry requirement?

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to mitchsmom's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Shannon - Ahhh! Wine! PS - did you notice the student intro on the pre-frontier bound site? I saw yours! Mine is there too :-)

  21. Scared of being an RN in a hospital but need the experience

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to wannabmidwife's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You are SO right on this!!! I have done this multiple times, for a variety of things too. Jen

  22. Scared of being an RN in a hospital but need the experience

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to wannabmidwife's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You don't know about getting into L&D until you try :-) I applied for, and went straight into OB/Maternity when I graduated from nursing school. Believe me, there are OB/maternity jobs out there...

  23. Have you taken one of these Stats courses for Frontier entry requirement?

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to mitchsmom's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Well, the stats course I took last year is not accepted at Frontier - and only because I am a bridge student and do not have a bachelor's degree. If, however, I already had a bachelor's degree, they...

  24. Financing your education

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to bebeleche's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Uh, yeah, I second that notion. Jen

  25. Financing your education

    RNLaborNurse4U replied to bebeleche's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Since I'm doing the bridge program, total cost is going to be $36k++. I plan on loans, applying for whatever scholarships I can, etc. I also only have about $6500 left on my nursing school loans to...
