   @mnmary: Hi! I actually just graduated! I finished coursework last week and will take boards next week. I'm not sure if I can call myself a real-life midwife yet (just want to finish those boards!)...

2. Considering Georgetown online

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

   @Fairy dust and @ans0014 - I can't stand that they disabled private messaging. @Fairy dust: as far as the class offerings go, there are plenty of options for the general classes (we take the same...

3. Considering Georgetown online

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

   I just saw this thread, but thought I'd throw this out there. I started the program in August and am halfway through my second block (of six). If you have any specific questions about the program, let...

4. What are some other good online CNM programs?

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

   I'm doing Georgetown right now. I know it's expensive. I look at it as investing in myself/future happiness. Just took my first exam of my first semester. So far, so good.

5. Georgetown University ONLINE FNP...

   tucsonash replied to flower25's topic in School, College Programs

   This is actually not true. The first cohort began in March for FNPs, May for CNMs/WHNPs. I'm in the August cohort for CNMs/WHNPs. Those first students are totally rocking it out.

6. Almost a year in and more scared than before

   tucsonash replied to aerorunner80's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I think it also has to do with where you work! I have friends that are feeling (most of the time) like champions at 8 months to a year on M/S and tele units. I'm on ICU and the more I learn, the more...

7. BLS vs CPR/First Aide?

   tucsonash replied to Malerie's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Double check, because from what I remember (I've been taking BLS for four or five years now, so I don't remember exactly) that regular CPR class doesn't teach resuscitation with ambu bags and other...

10. Potential dream job AFTER I started orientation (beware, really long)

    tucsonash replied to HappyrockRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm facing a similar situation right now (well **hopefully**). I've wanted to be a midwife as long as I've wanted to be a nurse. I worked for four years before/throughout nursing school as a PCT on...

11. Settling for less

    tucsonash replied to HarStarr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One of the best things you can do is volunteer. You can rarely volunteer as an RN, but affiliation with an organization (specifically a hospital you're interested in) is huge and when employers look...

12. ICU position after BSN graduation

    tucsonash replied to Kelly Fineman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If they hire CNAs/PCTs, do it. That's how a good portion of graduates from my class got jobs after graduation (especially in this TERRIBLE job market). Some ICUs do use CNAs/PCTs, the ICU I did my...
