    Ria21 posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hello there my fellow birthworkers! I just recently passed boards and officially a CNM!! I have been interviewing and have 2 offers so far! Just wondering if you can give any advice on what to...

    Okay yeah that makes sense!! Thanks so much for your

  3. New grad Midwife! Which job??!?

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks for your response! The first job doesn't seem to offer much support as it seems pretty busy, kind of like a hospitalist cnm role (youre on your own, sink or swim). The second job has a...

    @atyourcervixxWhich WHNP program offers CenteringPregnancy? Did you mean training to facilitate and run A CenteringPregnancy program?? Tell me

  6. CNM vs NP vs dual degree.... Need help finding direction.

    Ria21 replied to obnurse406's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hey! I would totally do the dual program! Here's why...you want to be on the labor floor. WHNP may exclude you from that in some states. You are more marketable with both. A LOT of places hire CNMs...

  7. Johns Hopkins Tuition Benefits

    Ria21 posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hey guys! If you're a full time RN at Johns Hopkins hospital or Johns hopkins university, does anyone know what their tuition reimbursement/remission policies are?? Does anyone know how much they'll...

  8. CNM vs NP vs dual degree.... Need help finding direction.

    Ria21 replied to obnurse406's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi! So I'm a WHNP and I do understand the dilemma! When I was applying for my Master's, I applied for both the NP and CNM program as I love women's health (and they didn't have a dual option! I ended...

  9. DNP NECESSARY????

    Ria21 replied to TheFuture09's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree with you Numenor! I do think the majority of DNP programs are fluff and you're pretty much doing the same thing as in an MSN research class. It drove me crazy for yeeears and I refused to get...

  10. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I started at an OBGYN office as an NP a month ago, was hired to replace an MD and help with influx of patients. There are 6 medical assistants, 1 RN and 6 MDs. This office has never had an NP, so...

  11. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just a quick update! I ended up resigning from the position. I was fighting too many battles and outing too many fires. It was exhausting! It really put a bad taste in my mouth for clinic work in a...

  12. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I believe it! I do agree that they are seemingly looking for someone to do the role of nurse and NP. it's definitely not what we discussed on interview so my impression of the role was different. And...

  13. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks For the advice! I agree that helping here and there adds confusion. There really is no one person to talk to...i expressed my thoughts in a meeting but to no avail. I will try again this week,...

  14. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I see patients with the doctors for now...which is why I say no to these other requests. There is so much more involved in my actual role that I could use that time for. Smh...just kinda mad at myself...

  15. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with not doing anything the doctors don't do. I started saying no to the requests of giving injections, drawing blood etc. One of the doctors told me that my attitude is "bad" bc I'm expected...

  16. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree that it's quite bizarre! I think the office is trying to cut corners as I'd be cheaper than MD. I do receive NP salary though, but I guess with the expectation of playing a dual role, which is...

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks, sounds like a good idea. I want the experience and am willing to be a team player. However, respect is non

  18. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    Ria21 replied to Ria21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, that's exactly what I thought. Things are just harder bc I feel like I have to set the tone/standards bc they've never had an NP. But I also have to kinda teach everyone about the role without...

    Ria21 replied to JaneanneRN's topic in Public, Community Health

    Soso, I really think that you should go for the WHNP/MPH program if that's what you really want to do! If I could find a program like that here in ny, i'd jump at the chance! I say go for it!!!...
