    redbeads replied to ms_sheesh's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi- all of this information is on Frontier's website, midwives.org. I believe that total cost runs between 24,000-30,000 depending on the degree and full or part-time status. I am also pretty sure...

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

    redbeads replied to jennf83's topic in Ob/Gyn

  9. Natural or Directed pushing

    redbeads replied to Bazooka's topic in Ob/Gyn

    redbeads replied to AshleyAnn123's topic in General Nursing

    redbeads replied to TNgirl2010's topic in Ob/Gyn

    redbeads replied to AshleyAnn123's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with tablefor9....it depends on what type of midwife you want to be. As far as your goal of volunteering (good for you!), I would look into different organizations, like Doctors without...

  14. Adoptive mom brings in pumped breastmilk to feed baby: what are your thoughts?

    redbeads replied to redbeads's topic in Ob/Gyn

  18. Adoptive mom brings in pumped breastmilk to feed baby: what are your thoughts?

    redbeads replied to redbeads's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it's fabulous that this baby is lucky enough to have a family that loves her, with a "village" of people so happy she's come into this world that they're pumping extra milk for her to eat....

    redbeads replied to MegM, RN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM
