    Nursing salary not that useful to pay back loans?!

    cayenne06 replied to Summers3's topic in General Students

    You can put your federal loans in deferment until you get a job, and if you are not making a lot of money, you can do an income-based repayment schedule. Of course it ends up being more in the long...

    Provided with a phone for shift?

    cayenne06 replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hmmm. I've never been provided with a phone, and when I am waiting on a call back from a provider, the secretary answers the phone and calls me to the desk. I am also a CNM student at a super busy...

    cayenne06 replied to Red Kryptonite's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You know you're a midwife when you talk about ordering a pizza while you are examining a warm, bloody placenta! Or when the smell of poop gets you excited because you know a baby is likely to

    RN to BSN in 6 months

    cayenne06 replied to jaytee12003's topic in Western Governors University

    I did mine in less than 3 months, BUT I was working FT nights as a PD RN for a fairly stable toddler, which means I was able to complete all of my coursework on the clock, except for the public health...

    Medication Dosing question

    cayenne06 replied to beckyg323's topic in Patient Medications

    Yes, you are right that you need to give 8 grams an hour, but you need to figure out mL/hr because that is generally how you program a pump, and it also allows you to "double check" yourself, so to...

    Do nurses have free time?

    cayenne06 replied to nickchan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am an LDRP RN in a small unit that does about 250-300 births a year. Some nights are busy as hell, but I regularly have shifts where I have just one stable postpartum patient. It's a GREAT job, I...

    Are these things a CNM would do?

    cayenne06 replied to JJ1994's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    JJ1994, I understand that you are saying you would provide nonjugmental care to women, even if you don't personally agree with their choices. And of course you are correct- all of us have had the...

    Are these things a CNM would do?

    cayenne06 replied to JJ1994's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Just TODAY I counseled a woman on abortion for what I guess would be called "willy nilly" reasons. The ONLY reason I am interested in a woman's reason for seeking an abortion is so that I can better...

    Are these things a CNM would do?

    cayenne06 replied to JJ1994's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    JJ1994, do you have children of your own? What experience do you have providing patient care? I really, really do not mean to sound condescending, but your statements seem to suggest a very black and...

    Are these things a CNM would do?

    cayenne06 replied to JJ1994's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    yeah, but not agreeing with my patient's choice to decline vaccination is not the same as having a moral objection to a fundamental part of their being. eta- Not agreeing with a patient's choice =/=...

    Are these things a CNM would do?

    cayenne06 replied to JJ1994's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Well, not too much to argue with there! I was glad to see that response. It troubles me though, to hear people say that gay or single parents are inherently subpar, compared to their straight...

    Does abortion play a role?

    cayenne06 replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    She was applying for a TITLE X funded position. Title X is a federally funded family planning initiative. Contraception management is a fundamental part of this position. She said she was not willing...

    When to start applying for Certified Nurse Midwife jobs?

    cayenne06 replied to seattleguy's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    So funny, we just talked about this in class today. It sounds like the general consensus is you can start looking in the last few months of your program, but that some places will not interview anyone...

    Are these things a CNM would do?

    cayenne06 replied to JJ1994's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'd be interested to hear your response to this scenario, JJ1994- You are a CNM, and there is a patient you have been seeing for a couple years for well woman care. At her annual exam, she tells you...

    Are these things a CNM would do?

    cayenne06 replied to JJ1994's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Ooookay. So that means you feel you have the right to be the gatekeeper to these services, using your own moral beliefs to dictate what options you feel the woman deserves to have access to? No. That...

    Objective vs. Subjective data (again)

    cayenne06 replied to combinate's topic in General Students

    If the patient takes her temperature in front of you and you see the result, then it is objective data. It is objective because it is observed and measured by you. If the patient reports a temperature...

    Does abortion play a role?

    cayenne06 replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Do you think abortion should be illegal? I am going to assume that you, personally, are morally opposed to abortion yet still think it should be legally available. The data is quite clear that...

    Are these things a CNM would do?

    cayenne06 replied to JJ1994's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Well, what I posted were just straight facts, nothing to disagree or agree with. You can have a personal moral objection to abortion, that's totally fine. But that doesn't negate the fact that...

    What do you guys think?

    cayenne06 replied to mag426's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Have you sat down with your budget and figured out how much you are in the red each month (based on average tuition per month)? Can you get a roommate or move to a cheaper place? What other expenses...

    Freestanding birth center vs. hospital and the future of my career

    cayenne06 replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just had a birth the other night (i'm a student CNM) where we didn't do a SVE to confirm full dilation. She was unmedicated, her outward s/s were very clear, and it was just not necessary. Still, it...

    strangest question a friend or acquaintance has ever asked you?

    My sister once sent me a picture of her toddler's member, followed by a frantic call because there is a TEAR in the skin, omg what's wrong with his member! Yeah, his foreskin was starting to retract....
