  1. L&D nurses - different viewpoints on birth

    Little_Babycatcher replied to KMLSanDiego's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Things do need to change and I plan on continuing to fight the good fight after graduating with my CNM. For now, I strive to be the best patient advocate that I can be so that my families can have...

  2. Patients Passing Stools During Labor

    Little_Babycatcher replied to MichaelBasic's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ditto what bagladyrn said. Most of my mamas aren't really even aware of it happening when it does. I just reassure them that if it happens, it just means they pushed

  3. New to L&D and I have completely forgotten how to be a nurse!

    Little_Babycatcher posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's not as drastic as the title implies, but some days it truly feels that way. Upon graduating, I worked in med-surg for almost 2 years, then switched to postpartum for a year. Now I'm on L&D...

  4. Midwifery in the military

    Little_Babycatcher replied to ljm9304's topic in Government, Military

    I have considered this as well! Hopefully someone with more insight will chime in.

  5. I Feel Horrible! Confused! Dont know what to do!

    Little_Babycatcher replied to mommynurse25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree. Orientation is a probationary time for both the employer AND employee, and it's not unusual to determine things aren't a good fit. Take up this opportunity. It took me almost 2 years to get...

  6. How do you know if you suck? ;-)

    Little_Babycatcher replied to seemerun's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What a perfect thread! I have experience in Med-Surg and Ante/Postpartum/Baby and have been on L&D since April. I'm still in orientation there and will spread my wings in September... I...

  7. Vocera or Alternative?

    Little_Babycatcher replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We just run the halls! This is a new place for me and my previous workplace used Ascom phones. I really wish we had something because it is inevitable that I am unable to find anyone whenever I need...

  8. Actually joined the AHNA

    Little_Babycatcher replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Holistic

    I've actually never heard of this organization before. I'm going to look more into it and possibly join as well. Thanks for sharing!

  9. Frontier School of Midwifery - Class of 82...anyone with me?

    Little_Babycatcher posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hello everyone! I just found out I was accepted into Class of 82 at Frontier School of Midwifery. I'm so excited!!! Is there anyone here that will be joining me in

  10. Frontier School of Midwifery - Class of 82...anyone with me?

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

    Oh yes, I should clarify that my 6 months RN experience is in Med-Surg

  11. Frontier School of Midwifery - Class of 82...anyone with me?

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

    Tanya, that's more than enough experience. :) The general requirement is 1 year of Nursing in any field. I actually got in with 6 months RN experience because I also have experience working in...

  12. difference between CNM and CPM

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

    I haven't looked into CPM programs either, but is it possible that they are covering more because the student doesn't have the medical background? It would seem like an RN would definitely have a...

  13. Hug a Midwife - It's National Midwifery Week!

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

    Thank you! Congrats to you as well!

  15. Help Please

    Little_Babycatcher replied to hopebewild's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I say go for the CICU floor. It sounds great and the benefits are huge when you have kids. I have a 13 month old and work 3 12 hour shifts (days), and it actually works out pretty nicely. Certainly...

  16. What jobs are there for a BS nursing degree but no license?

    Little_Babycatcher replied to jcutler's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I believe the same applies for my state (Virginia) as well. I know you can work as a Patient Care Tech (basically a CNA) while enrolled in school, but I don't believe you can seek out a CNA-type job...

  17. NCLEX -- fail or results not in?

    Little_Babycatcher replied to julesjmf's topic in Virginia Nursing

    If Pearson doesn't let you register for the exam again, that should mean that you passed. The Pearson Vue trick worked for me. Either way, inquire with the board. Call the number to see if you have a...

  18. looking for topics

    Little_Babycatcher replied to willardjh84's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I wouldn't worry about it just yet since you need a year's RN experience before going in. That'll give you plenty of time to make some professional contacts.

  19. Starting salary in Virginia?

    Little_Babycatcher posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Just curious if anyone knew the average starting salary for Virginia CNMs. I know the range is huge, but if someone could help narrow it down for me that would be

  20. Starting salary in Virginia?

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

    Probably around the Richmond, Va area

  21. Doctorate in Nurse-Midwifery?

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

    I'm going to be completing my MSN first and then possibly continue on for a DNP later. I know in my area there are not many (if any) advanced practice nurses who have doctorates doing patient care....

    Little_Babycatcher replied to willardjh84's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Oh, I love the induction idea. I have loads of personal experience in that one. (60 hour induced labor with every form of unnecessary intervention possible, resulting in eventual emergency

  23. Bridge program Frontier

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

    Good luck! I'm starting the regular MSN (CNEP) program in January and am taking their Statistics course now. So far it seems like it will be very manageable as long as you do your part. Can't wait...

  24. looking for topics

    Little_Babycatcher replied to willardjh84's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    The obvious one that comes to my mind would be home vs hospital birth. How about that one?

  25. What does section "Practice Pending Results" mean from the RN licensure app?

    Little_Babycatcher replied to chickadeepie's topic in Virginia Nursing

    ditto :) Also, getting a job as an RNA right after graduation greatly helped me prepare for the
