  1. Calling all OSU Med Center RNs (Please, Please Reply)

    CNM2B replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't work at OSU now, but I did when I was in nursing school. I have a few friends who were accepted to the internship program this year--I'm pretty sure they have already selected this year's...

  2. FNP School Choices

    CNM2B replied to caitiecait's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, the consumers of these rankings are college graduates (or soon-to-be college graduates) who hopefully have the skills to decide how much reliance they wish to place on these rankings. Hopefully...

  3. FNP School Choices

    CNM2B replied to caitiecait's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not trying to split hairs over this, but I don't see anywhere in the US News ranking where they try to say this is a scientific study. They are very open with how they achieved these rankings....

  4. FNP School Choices

    CNM2B replied to caitiecait's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that US News holds a little more credence than the National Enquirer. Sure, the rankings are arrived at from surveys taken by faculty. I wanted to pick a program where scholarly work is being...

  5. FNP School Choices

    CNM2B replied to caitiecait's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A lot of people put stock in the U.S. New and World Report Rankings. Here is a list of the most recent rankings available. This ranks graduate programs in nursing....

  6. Future for specializing in infertility and IVF?

    CNM2B replied to caitiecait's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  7. Future for specializing in infertility and IVF?

    CNM2B replied to caitiecait's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I hardly think that choosing a CNM is considered "taking a risk", especially if you look at the available research. Also, most CNM's do work in hospitals, so the "monitors, the hospital, the whole...

  8. I need help deciding between midwife or FNP!!

    CNM2B replied to caitiecait's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi! I can't answer all of your questions, but I can address some of them. I also work neuro and am currently a CNM student at Frontier. It is rigorous, but working 24 hours a week is doable (that...

  9. Women's Health Nurse Practitioner

    CNM2B replied to sugarsweet21612's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi! Women's Health NP's can work in a variety of practices. They often work in an OB/GYN practice and can provide well-woman care, contraceptive planning, pre-natal and post-partum care, etc. They...

  10. Midwifery schools

    CNM2B replied to midwife228's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I just wanted to jump in about Frontier. You do earn a Master's degree when you attend the Frontier program. To be certiifed as a CNM, you now must have a master's degree (those rules are...

  11. I have a question about being a midwife in Georgia

    CNM2B replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    To become a CNM (Certified Nurse-Midwife) you must have a Bachelor's Degree (or equivalant) in Nursing, a Master's Degree in Nursing and a Post-Master's Certificate in Nurse-Midwifery. That is the...

  12. Relocating to Columbus- help!

    CNM2B replied to kfisher80's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hi! Columbus is sort of a tight job market right now for nurses, but there are jobs available. I would apply as early as you can. As for salary, it all depends how many years of experience you...

  13. Is Frontier more expensive than non-distance programs?

    CNM2B replied to doulalove's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I felt drawn to Frontier as well. I just kept coming back to it over and over again. A lot of my classmates had the same experience. I think a lot of that depends on where you live. If there is a...

  14. Is Frontier more expensive than non-distance programs?

    CNM2B replied to doulalove's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Big decisions! I was in a similar situation as you are. I'm already a nurse, but had applied to several CNM programs. I had to decide between a traditional brick-and-mortar school and Frontier. I...

  15. CNM or OB/GYN

    CNM2B replied to ezxoxo322's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I suggest that you go to a 4-year college and major in nursing. See how you like it and if you want, take the additional science required to go to medical school (a few more chem classes and...

  16. CNM or OB/GYN

    CNM2B replied to ezxoxo322's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You sound wise beyond your years! I'm sure you will be successful in whichever path you choose. One really cool thing about being a nurse is that you can always change your mind and do something...

  17. How are you paying for Midwifery school??

    CNM2B replied to wannabmidwife's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yes, I go to Frontier (althought I'm still in my first term...so I'm not a veteran yet!) I think you'll be fine. Plus, almost everyone I've met so far also has kids, so they are a great support...

  18. How are you paying for Midwifery school??

    CNM2B replied to wannabmidwife's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am a full-time CNM student and work part-time nights as an RN. I am also a stay-at-home Mom (which of course is a full-time job). It's a lot of juggling, but it's

  19. Is distance learning as effective?

    CNM2B replied to kitchenluvr's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Congrats on your goals! First, I just want to let you know that you DO NOT have to have one year of L&D experience to be accepted at Frontier. You do need one year of nursing experience, but it...

  20. Labor of Love: A Midwife's Memoir

    CNM2B replied to kalley's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I read it and really enjoyed it. I was fascinated by the fact that she actually started as a direct-entry homebirth midwife, then went to nursing school (and worked L&D for a number of years) and...

  21. Question for Frontier students

    CNM2B replied to Smark35's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I opted to take the shuttle (which ended up being a school bus driven by the sweetest guy anyone could meet) which took us about 2.5 hours to get to the school. I totally recommend doing that, since...

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

    CNM2B replied to Charlye_Stubbs's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think that is probably hard to predict. It really depends on what state you live in (DEM's are only legal in certain states) and what kind of a practice you can build up, how many patients you can...

  23. Discouraging post...opinions?

    CNM2B replied to BabyLady's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think that completely depends on where you live and what kind of position you have. Here in Ohio, CNM's do probably make a little less, but not so much that it has deterred me. I think CNM's can...

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

    CNM2B replied to mitchsmom's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I haven't taken the stats class at Frontier, but if you already plan to go to Frontier anyway, I would think it would be a benefit just to take it there. It will give you an introduction to the...

  25. Frontier Bound Class 65???

    CNM2B replied to love_my_boys's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Well, I'm not really sure what your source is for this information, or if you yourself were a student. I do know several people who have graduated from the program in recent years and know several...
