    these might be dumb questions to some, but will someone please explain? i understand the purpose of an infant receiving vit k, but if a parent refuses how long does it take for an infant to make it's...

  2. a male midwife??? :S

    cnm in progress replied to yaz's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Let me first start by saying that there is absolutely nothing wrong with male midwives... midwifery is about how you view pregnancy, labor, birth, and women... not about gender. That said, it's rather...

  3. Thinking about going for my CNM - questions...

    cnm in progress replied to barefoot~mama's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Frontier's bridge program is 1 year, full-time. At the end of the year, you enter the midwifery program, which leads to your MSN. You can do this part-time (36 months) or full-time (27 months). When...

  4. Thinking about going for my CNM - questions...

    cnm in progress replied to barefoot~mama's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I was a 4th grade teacher who went to nursing school after having my first child. I knew right then and there that I wanted to be a nurse-midwife. I only worked part-time as a patient-care tech while...

  5. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    cnm in progress replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I totally agree about women needing more options for birth locations!! As a nurse, I know that we are often caught in the middle between hospital "policy" and the patient's desires, which can be...

    cnm in progress replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    Never mind...I confused myself with my response (I just got done with

  7. Nursing student taking drugs

    cnm in progress replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    By your logic, if I'm in my home in bed I have the POTENTIAL to get hit by a car that veers off the road and into my home...so why shouldn't I just go sleep in the street? Risks are all around us,...

    cnm in progress replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    i think that's the point. there is potential for harm...to myself, my fellow classmates/co-worker, and especially to

  9. It's all falling into place!

    cnm in progress replied to RNin10's topic in General Students

    Enjoy your free time while you still have it. Take some time now to go on vacation, etc... because it won't happen while you're in

  10. Nursing student taking drugs

    cnm in progress replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    I don't have time to do an literature review right now, but here's one that I found in under 5 minutes: "Non-medical prescription stimulant users were more likely to report use of alcohol, cigarettes,...

  11. Nursing student taking drugs

    cnm in progress replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    One's illegal, the other's not. A nurse who gets high is more likely to divert medications for personal use...plain and

  12. This was a question on our test today. What do you think the answer is?

    cnm in progress replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    For the most part, I think "challenge the patient to ____" on boards, etc... should be interpreted in a positive manner. On the other hand, "confront" is more

  13. This was a question on our test today. What do you think the answer is?

    cnm in progress replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    Notice the use of "Avoid" in choice D and the word "except" in the stem. If you are saying that humor is acceptable for use (I agree, by the way)... then you would not want to include "Avoid the use...

  14. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    cnm in progress replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    UNFORTUNATELY... the system is totally backwards!! Some women call the shots and get elective inductions, just because they want the baby on a certain day, or they want to make sure their favorite OB...

  15. strange question from a newbie

    cnm in progress replied to cookderosa's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I forgot about those requirements. I did have to retake stats, but only because mine was so old (20 years ago). They accepted my physical assessment class from my RN

  16. strange question from a newbie

    cnm in progress replied to cookderosa's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yep. I have a bachelors in education. Then I got my RN in a hospital-based diploma program. I'm currently in Frontier's MSN program. The only additional stipulation that you have to do is a...

  18. strange question from a newbie

    cnm in progress replied to cookderosa's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    If you already have a bachelors, you don't need to do the "bridge" program at Frontier. If you get your RN you can go right into the MSN program at Frontier with just 1 year of nursing experience. As...

  19. Took the Fronteir plunge into statistics..need support

    cnm in progress replied to Berkshire1995's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Take a deep breath in and exhale... you'll do fine. You don't have to know a thing about SPSS. It's kind of like Excel (it's a spreadsheet...you enter data and it does the math for you). If you can...

  20. I have a confession to make

    cnm in progress replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Can't give you a reason why... but it is what it is. You're entitled to see all of your medical records, but you have to either get them from your doctor or go through medical records. The rest of the...

  21. Anyone REGRET going into L&D as a new grad??

    cnm in progress replied to emptybee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can't say that I regret not doing med-surg, but now that I am pursuing an advanced practice degree, I think it's a little more difficult. I keep thinking, "If only I'd done a year or two of...

  24. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    cnm in progress replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    patients absolutely need to have discussions with their providers early in the pregnancy. and providers need to be more willing to have these discussions early, so that patients can find a more...

  25. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    cnm in progress replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That one does bug me slightly, but only because our L & D rooms are HUGE, with an "entryway" and a curtain before entering the patient's actual room. If I were to knock, they probably wouldn't...
