  1. Pigeon holed?

    what2donow replied to what2donow's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much for your responses. Does anyone have advice as far as what to say when speaking with directors/managers about potential jobs? I feel uncomfortable bypassing HR, as that is the standard...

  2. Should I even be here?

    what2donow posted a topic in Nursing Career

    So, if I spend every slow night I have at work searching the internet for a new job and researching my little heart out different possible career paths for nurses (and not), that probably means I'm in...

  4. What to do when you've had it!

    what2donow replied to MAISY, RN-ER's topic in General Nursing

    Here's an idea: Write a scathing (probably anonymous) letter to the editor of your local paper- or maybe contact a local TV news channel- and spill your guts about the conditions at your ER and the...

  6. Talking to a CNM

    what2donow replied to what2donow's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Midwife228- Thank you so much for your reply! I decided to shoot you some questions here on this forum (rather than private message), as I'm sure there are others out there who'd like to hear about...

  7. No jobs in OB nursing!!

    what2donow posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I've developed an unhealthy obsession with checking everywhere- local hospitals' websites, the newspaper classifieds, clinics, etc.- at least 3 times a day for ANY OB nursing jobs. There is nothing!...

  8. Question for all of you Frontier students (or any others, really!)

    what2donow posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am curious about those of you who have children and are doing the midwifery program. Are you going full time or part time? Do you work, and how much? How much time are you needing to devote to...

    what2donow posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    What does everyone think about applying for a position when you don't meet the qualifications stated in the posting? (I.E., "2 years of labor and delivery experience required", when you in fact have...

  10. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

    what2donow replied to epiphany's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I totally agree with you, epiphany. I really like the idea of time off really being time off. But how common are midwife jobs that allow you to do this kind of shift

  11. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

    what2donow replied to epiphany's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Wow. That's incredibly disheartening. If I worked 77 hours per week as a staff nurse I'd be far above $79,000 (even with the bonuses). I guess I feel, though, that you really couldn't pay me enough to...

  12. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

    what2donow replied to epiphany's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thank you so much for sharing this! I've been looking everywhere for this type of info, but like you said, there isn't much (reliable) out there. One question: can you explain what you mean by "2x8 hr...

  13. How to "get in"?

    what2donow posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Does anyone have any advice on how to get a job in L & D, post-partum, maternity, or any form of women's health nursing??? I feel like I've finally decided where my nursing niche is and want to go...
