  1. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

    epiphany posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    What school did not prepare me for was how much salary I should expect to get, and how to negotiate it, so I'm here to share my experience with you because salary seems to be a bit of a elusive topic....

  2. The elephant in the room - relationships between CNM and L&D nurses

    epiphany posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    The relationship between an L&D nurse and a CNM in the hospital setting is never properly and openly discussed, so what I do? Start a topic on it. :nuke: I invite anyone to start it

  3. Hard to stay interested in this forum once graduated

    epiphany posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm finding it hard to stay interested in this forum due to the lack of other CNM's active here. Most people here are either students or exploring the career. The threads become pretty much about...

  5. a male midwife??? :S

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

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

    Zahryia - Pecola is right - you'll be fine. Most of my classmates did not have L&D experience, and are getting jobs they want. I did have a friend who went through a second interview, and then...

  7. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

  8. Have you ever had a Episiotomy or have knowledge about it?? Quick questions!

    epiphany replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There's research to support that less is more. Whenever I can, I only suture minimally, just to create an internal "bandage" to allow the healing to take place naturally. I have seen enough skin...

  9. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

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

    Just right off the bat, I don't think I would like on-calls. I would really have to learn to how relax during the day knowing someone could give birth anytime. Give me 40 solid hours of work, where...

  12. The elephant in the room - relationships between CNM and L&D nurses

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

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

    I should also mention that if you worked for a federally qualified site, you will get loan repayment. As far as I know it's 25K a year. Check the facts for yourselves, I didn't actually apply but my...

  14. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

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

    I think the job market is tougher in general these days. Unfortunately I don't work in that area, so I don't know it specifically. I do know that there are job openings, according to the...

  15. Hard to stay interested in this forum once graduated

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

    I've said my views on this many times and ways, but the important argument is, you learn bad habits. A woman has so much more capacity than is allowed or seen in L&D, and it's hard for any human...

  16. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

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

  19. Caring too much - does it make you cynical?

    epiphany replied to braddah's topic in General Nursing

    Becareful not to let your caring be a codependency. You're not going to happy if you don't recognize it and deal with it, especially in a profession of caring. Here's a link to signs for...

  20. NP discusses MJ on national TV ????

    epiphany replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    It is violation of your rights when you are alive. Does a dead person have the rights of Hipaa? How can a dead person sue for his rights to privacy? Who is going to be the plaintiff in the suit?...

  21. NP discusses MJ on national TV ????

    epiphany replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    I do think it's immoral and disrespectful to talk about a person who is dead, especially for the purpose of being on TV - I won't be surprised if she was paid. Having said that, that's not what Hipaa...
