    Dalla replied to CNM2B2012's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    A CNM I shadowed a few weeks ago told me she pays $6,000 a year, but only has minimal coverage - $100,000/$300,000 (?) Of course, as a CNM doing homebirths, the least little thing and she will risk...

  11. How many days of orientation?

    Dalla replied to NewLPN11's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    3-5 days is pretty normal for LTC. Not bad if you are experienced, you only have to learn the routine of that facility. If you are a new grad, it is like being thrown into the deep end of the pool....

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