  1. Yes, I was accepted to Class 79 and start the end of September. Good luck to you, Frontier is like no other school on earth and the best place to get your CNM
  2. I have a job. With benefits. And Dental insurance. Been a nurse for 16 years and took a pay cut in '97 with a pay freeze for 3 years. No regrets for me. When I started, I made 12.50/hr, now I make...
  3. In your opinion, was this an inappropriate assignment?

    I think you just have to let it go... As you said, you felt comfortable taking this assignment, you took good care of the patient and that's what matters. If, in the future, you find a certain...
  4. My facility does around 8,000 deliveries/year. On labor and delivery we use OBTV tracevue. This system does not interface with Cerner, the system that the rest of the hospital uses. We use Cerner...
  5. Post emergency C-Section information needed

    Your questions are somewhat confusing as I do not see how they are related to "post emergency c-section information". And what kind of packet are you referring to? Something to help educate...
  6. Anyone here an RNC?

    Except for the 500.00 bonus part, this is exactly what my institution has. I did it, had mixed feelings about it b/c I really don't think I was any smarter or a better nurse after I took the exam...
  7. Cervidil by labor nurse

    I don't believe that we have a policy ....just depends. Sometimes the nurses place it, sometimes the docs do. I've done it plenty, but usually just ask what the docs preference is. I can tell you...
  8. Help choosing an online program

    For me, a brick and mortar institution was not an option. I am not a graduate, in fact, I am just beginning my journey, but I have chosen Frontier. I know many nurse-midwives in my area who are...
  9. Who is using amnisure??

    Yes, she said that she gets good results with spec exams and simply doesn't feel that amnisure is often, if ever, necessary to r/o rupture. Although she didn't mention the cost factor, others have....
  10. Who is using amnisure??

    I spoke with one of our practitioners who works in our triage unit where we do many r/o ruptures every day. She said that she rarely uses the amnisure, but when she does, she treats any positive test...
  11. Who is using amnisure??

    My gut reaction is don't use a test that you're not going to trust....but, I will talk to the practitioners that use this on our floor and get back to you. I know that it is quite expensive and we...
  12. Epidural management in RN scope of practice?

    http://www.awhonn.org/awhonn/binary.content.do?name=Resources/Documents/pdf/5_Epidural.pdf This is the link to the AWHONN position of management of an epidural in laboring
  13. Help-updating resume-"Newer" Nurse

    Good luck to
  14. Help-updating resume-"Newer" Nurse

    I know this is not a response to your question, but...... have you shadowed at the hospital you are applying for? You say that you like the hospital you are at right now which is a HUGE...
  15. Could I like OB even if I'm an "all natural" kind of girl?

    Your post makes me think of this paraphrased quote: "You're either part of the problem or you're part of the solution." I say, bring on your "all natural kind of girl" attitude and help solve the...
