  1. Need an advice

    CNM 26.2 replied to anaklod's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually, CNM's can provide the same services as WHNP with the addition of attending births. CNMs do women's health care and primary care as

  2. 2nd shifter possibly moving to 3rd shift

    CNM 26.2 replied to Jocee82's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I worked nights for many years and for various reasons. I never realized how little sleep I actually got until I stopped working nights-I was amazed at how great I felt! Having said that-I did like...

  3. Comfort Measures...

    CNM 26.2 replied to winter_green's topic in Ob/Gyn

    klone just about covered it all! :) The only other thing I would add is-if for any reason the patient has to be (or wants to be) in bed and lying on her back-have her bend her knees with feet flat...

    CNM 26.2 posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I have been an RN in L&D for many years, I recently graduated from CNM school. My question is-have any of you made the transition to CNM praciticing in the facility where you worked as an RN?...

  5. preterm inductions

    CNM 26.2 replied to rebajcn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ACOG states that elective inductions should not be done until at least 39 weeks so measures to prevent inductions under 38 weeks are still not adequate. Even though this doc brings a lot of $$ to the...

  6. How to keep track of Dr orders?

    CNM 26.2 replied to PRETTYODD's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest to ask other nurses on your unit how they do it. I suggest this because each unit is unique in how they do things-maybe there is already a process in place that you don't know about....

  7. Transition from RN to CNM within the same facility??

    CNM 26.2 replied to CNM 26.2's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Unfortunately, that's not an option unless I move my family somewhere else-and I'm pretty stubborn, I refuse to uproot my family and my life because one or two nurses are having a hard time with me...

  8. Accidental Diversion - Need help!

    CNM 26.2 replied to malenurse122879's topic in General Nursing

  10. online vs classroom

    CNM 26.2 replied to LPWalker's topic in Indiana State University

    I just finished online grad school-and it is harder than classroom-at least for me. I think it really depends on your learning style. In a traditional classroom you can read the material then have...

  11. Have you ever had to nurse through a water shutdown?

    CNM 26.2 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I have only been through very short water outages (a couple of hours or less) for construction. We also used bottled water for drinking and we filled the bathtubs with water before the shut down so...

  12. Those who get it - get it, Those who don't - Never Will.

    CNM 26.2 replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This thread reminds me of one particularly CRAZY shift I had. We had one patient after another walking in-all of them of course in labor. We had every room full-we were short a nurse-we did two back...

  15. Bloody patients

    CNM 26.2 replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in General Nursing

    I beg your pardon. I took the fact that the OP said "Patients" (plural) "Please realize the following" that maybe he/she had issues with most or all patients; in which case a career change may be in...

  16. Transition from RN to CNM within the same facility??

    CNM 26.2 replied to CNM 26.2's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Haha!! I like your thinking!!!!!! That's what I try to do-I just hope they get over their passive agressiveness

  19. personal cell phone and the internet and impact on staff moral

    CNM 26.2 replied to 24 yrs and counting's topic in General Nursing

    This is also one of my huge pet peeves!!! The hospital finally blocked some sites but it didn't seem to help much. What really gets to me is that the offending nurses got upset because they felt...

  20. Can I still work?

    CNM 26.2 replied to Sl1011's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Check with your board of nursing. Some states allow you to get a temporary license and work as a "graduate nurse" until you get your official license. Unless things have recently changed the scores...

  21. What is it like to be a nurse in a prison?

  22. Should I keep my LPN license active?

    CNM 26.2 replied to my.toys's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, I really see now point in having both an LPN and an RN license-you are held to the standard of the highest license you have anyway-which would be the

    CNM 26.2 replied to belfry's topic in General Nursing

  25. non-inpatient OB related jobs

    CNM 26.2 replied to LNDBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Right off the top of my head, either an office, birth center or maybe go the childbirth education or lactation consultant route. You could also consider being a doula-not nursing but OB
