  1. Good Morning

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

    It wasn't hard at all! She is very friendly and just asks basic questions (why Frontier? why Midwifery?) She also wanted to know my family situation to make sure that I have good support and people...

  2. Unassisted birth on GMA this morning!?

    CNM2B replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    My impression was that the MD meant that the baby has the right to an immediate C-Section in an emergency situation. I've seen a few of those occur as an RN and they are super scary. Just racing the...

  3. What do you do in preparation of applying to a graduate school?

    CNM2B replied to spicychickensandwich's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do you know what type of master's you are going to get? I think in addition to grades and test scores, letters of recommendation rank very high in priority. I was just accepted to a very competitive...

  4. Applying to Frontier

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

    I have had similar reactions. Even nurse friends of mine would say, " oh, I didn't use a nuse midwife because I wanted pain medication during my delivery." People have no clue. When I moved to...

  5. done some soul searching, any thoughts?

    CNM2B replied to Cardiac-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just wanted to jump in and say that at least here, in Ohio, the universities that I know of that offer the CNL (Clinical Nurse Leader)program is not an entry to practice. My university will offer...

  6. preparing for accelerated MSN, does anyone have advice for me? I have a Bachelor's

    CNM2B replied to sierrapi's topic in Post Graduate Students

    A PCA (patient care assistant) is a type of job. They may call it something else where you live (I've also heard them called Patient Care Techs). In the hospital where I worked during nursing...

  7. I'm in : )

    CNM2B replied to Cardiac-RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I definitely recommend OSU. This will be my 3rd degree from there and my husband has 2 degrees from there. We still live in Columbus because we love it here (I worked at the medical center and my...

  8. I'm in : )

    CNM2B replied to Cardiac-RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi! I just wanted to write and say that I got my acceptance letter today (via email!) I am going to accept, so I will be starting at Ohio State (CNM/WHNP) in the spring! A few of the classes are...

  9. I'm in : )

    CNM2B replied to Cardiac-RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats! I"m hoping to start in the spring but am still waiting. I heard from the graduate coordinator at one school that the process is taking longer this year than normal (figures!) My other...

  10. preparing for accelerated MSN, does anyone have advice for me? I have a Bachelor's

    CNM2B replied to sierrapi's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Maybe you could work part-time as a PCA (Patient Care Assistant) or CNA at a hospital. It is basically a glorified nurses aide (and they may call it something else where you live). I did that while...

  11. Home Births w/o CNM or doctor-

    CNM2B replied to SueBee RN-BSN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    If you haven't already, you should definitely read "Born in the USA" by Marsden Wagner, MD. He is an obstetrician and speaks to the safety of midwives and has really compelling data to support just...

  12. Need some insight

    CNM2B replied to momto2beauties's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    19LISA65-- Thanks for the post! I actually am applying to UC as well and hadn't met anyone yet who is a student there. I'm glad you like the program! Any other insight you can offer about UC? How...

  13. Need some insight

    CNM2B replied to momto2beauties's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hello! To check to see about CNM's in your area, I would look on the website for the American College of Nurse Midwives (www.midwife.org). They have search engine where you can look for CNM's in...

  14. Frontier

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

    Yikes! That is a long time! I'm confused, because she told me today that I should hear within 2 weeks. When did you apply to start and which program did you apply to? I applied to the CNEP program....

  15. Frontier

    CNM2B posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I had my phone interview with Frontier this morning. I was really nervous, but I think it went well. Hopefully I'll hear soon. I'm hoping for Frontier Bound in June. Anyone else applying for that...

  16. Male CNMW?

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

    I haven't personally known any male CNM's, but I know that they are out there (I know that there is one currently practicing in the Pittsburgh area--I believe he went to Frontier). I certainly think...

  17. Midwife or Women's health NP?

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

    I just wanted to say that I just applied to Frontier's CNEP program (June 2008) and I have my phone interview next week....so maybe we'll be classmates together! As for your earlier question, I...

  18. How many APNs in school for DNP???

    CNM2B replied to traumaRUs's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think the DNP is definitely an "accepted" and valued degree. From what I hear, the DNP will be required for entry-into-practice as an advanced practice nurse within the next 15 years...if you are...

  19. "Private Practice" TV Show

    CNM2B posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Have any of you watched the new 'Private Practice'--a spinoff from Grey's Anatomy? I love Grey's and have been really enjoying Private Practice, but am annoyed by Addison's ignorance about midwives....

  20. Applying to Frontier

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

    I found out today that Frontier will be contacting me in the next few days to set up a phone interview. Any advice or insight on how these interviews go? I'd love to hear from a current/former...

  21. Question

    CNM2B replied to ingui08's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm not a midwife yet, so I can't speak to the salary range (and it's very dependent on where you live). I would start by checking out the website for the 'American College of Nurse Midwives'...

  22. Applying to Frontier

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

    Yeah! Nice to meet you! I am applying to the June class and am actually sitting here at my desk working on the application materials! Kind of daunting! Congrats on having a preceptor! I don't...

  23. Applying to Frontier

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

    After lots of talk and consideration, I decided to apply to Frontier as well. I'm applying for the June class. Anyone else applying to go to Frontier Bound in

  24. What if you have less than a 3.0 GPA?

    CNM2B replied to kenesha212002's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't think schools really "advertise" it, but if you do really well on your GRE, write a stellar personal statement and have great references, I bet you'll get in. Make sure to "explain" in your...

  25. Recommended Reading for future CNM?

    CNM2B posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hello! I applied to Ohio State and to the University of Cincinnati for the CNM/WHNP program--hoping to start in January. I'm waiting to hear, but I wondered if anyone has some reading suggestions...
