  1. Stony Brook vs Downstate MSN Midwifery

    midwife228 replied to OB-RN-NYC's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Actually I'm not an NNP. I was an OB nurse for 19 years before going back to school, most of that in L&D. But the CNM/NNP would be a great combo, as would FNP/NNP. I took 2 full school years...

  2. prolapsed cord

    midwife228 replied to magz53's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry you had such a scary experience, as a prolapsed cord always is! I am especially sorry that the AROM was done by a medwife. As a midwife (please note the difference!) I never AROM unless...

  3. Cervidil

    midwife228 replied to Emily Canwell's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We also do continuous EFM with Cervidil and start Pitocin about 1/2 hour after taking it out (if needed). It seems like most women at least start contracting with it after a few hours and many...

  4. Stony Brook vs Downstate MSN Midwifery

    midwife228 replied to OB-RN-NYC's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Probably wrong assumption about you being from NYC; I was thinking of the user name of the person who started this thread that I responded to. Sorry!! Hope to hear from you again

  5. Stony Brook vs Downstate MSN Midwifery

    midwife228 replied to OB-RN-NYC's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Congratulations! When do you start? I graduated in 2000 so the program may be quite different now; I know there is a different Director. Distance learning was the only way for me as I had to...

  6. Stony Brook vs Downstate MSN Midwifery

    midwife228 replied to OB-RN-NYC's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am relatively new to Allnurses.com and just found your thread, which caught my eye because I am a Stony Brook grad from the distance program. I am really curious - what did you decide and where are...

  7. An OB's Birth Plan

    midwife228 replied to Poppy_Petal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You are so right about informed consent! It certainly is nearly missing from OB, although I think you will usually find it with a midwife. I think it is terrible the way that many OBs manipulate...

  8. New grad here- Tips on inserting Cytotec?

    midwife228 replied to Cassideca's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The last I knew, Cytotec is not approved for IOL no matter how it's done; the manufacturer sent out letters to OB providers about this. That said, I have worked in a community hospital where we used...

  9. An OB's Birth Plan

    midwife228 replied to Poppy_Petal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I could not agree with you

  10. An OB's Birth Plan

    midwife228 replied to Poppy_Petal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Amen!!

  11. An OB's Birth Plan

    midwife228 replied to Poppy_Petal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh my. I am speechless, though not surprised. Your provider is no different than many or most OB/GYNs; maybe I should give him points for honesty; many tell their clients whatever they want to hear...

  12. Midwifery schools

    midwife228 posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I saw an earlier post asking if their were graduaes of other programs than Frontier - I graduated from SUNY Stony Brook (2000). Any other SB graduates on the

  13. Midwifery schools

    midwife228 replied to midwife228's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I believe it is necessary to be an RN before entering Stony Brook's program but will try to find out for sure. I had been a L&D nurse for many years before going back to school so I never looked...

  14. CNM or OB/GYN

    midwife228 replied to ezxoxo322's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    About the term "medwife" - in my experience it is used to describe a midwife who is considered to be a "doctor-wannabe", whose "management" of labor is no different from that of a physician - ie....

  15. Nursing, midwifery, and patient/practitioner relations

    midwife228 replied to AnthroGirl's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This looks like it's shaping up to be a fascinating discussion and I will keep following it and, hopefully, contributing something to it. First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy! May I ask,...
