    mitchsmom replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    mitchsmom replied to AnaBanana12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    mitchsmom replied to RNmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    mitchsmom replied to ebonynurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    mitchsmom replied to passing thru's topic in General Nursing

  14. Saunders or Kaplan???

    mitchsmom replied to thinkpink's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  17. How long is orientation for new grads on your unit?

    mitchsmom replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not sure what they are on my new unit (can't remember from my preceptorship... but I think it varies widely by how busy we are... probably anywhere from 1-5 couplets). No one with feedback on LDRP...

  18. Are you working the position you want?

    mitchsmom replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Like you, Hearts, I would like to go on for my CNM eventually. I'm a new grad and start in L&D July 10th (where I did my preceptorship). In my area new grads can pretty much go wherever they want...

    mitchsmom replied to sunflwrdlf's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    mitchsmom replied to froghair's topic in Emergency

  25. Question about CNMs and circumcision

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

    Even still, I don't think anyone has to do them, particularly midwives- since I think becoming skilled at circ's is kind of an "extra" for them, that's the way I understand it, but others here may...
