    How can I get more OB experience as a student/new grad?

    klone replied to thoughtful21's topic in Ob/Gyn

    DNP-CNM vs. MSN-CNM

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

    I agree with you that it's not necessarily financially beneficial to get the DNP over the MSN. But some people find satisfaction in that additional degree. I'm still toying with the idea of getting my...
