  2. the phrase "breaking the bed"

    epiphany replied to smallwonders07's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    The other thing about breaking the bed which I don't understand is what would you do in the case of shoulder dystocia? you can't turn the mother on her side and definitely not on her

  4. Starting UPenn this summer

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

    A lot of what you say - that the kind of midwife you are going to make may not reflect the schooling is true, but I will have to disagree in some respects, now that I'm going through the program. Yes,...

    If they say you are applying early, they are probably right. I was just as anxious as you, but they took their time getting back to me, too. I highly recommend you attend their open houses ( on...

  9. Midwifery School Rankings

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

    If Upenn is number 2, we are in trouble. Everything is a hit and miss - teaching, clinicals, advisories. I mean, we will survive this program, but if you're surviving it rather that flourishing,...

  10. L&D floor nurse to CNM....Am I ruining my faith in women?

    epiphany replied to phillies33's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Glad to hear from someone who can speak from the CNM side. I feel like nurses tend to feel that it's important to have the L&D, but not to offend them, but I think they are speaking from the...

  11. L&D floor nurse to CNM....Am I ruining my faith in women?

    epiphany replied to phillies33's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm not saying that L&D has no value. I learnt how to admit pts, give pit, put in IV's and read strips. In one year, my instincts would have paled compared to your 31 year experience. But I am...

    epiphany replied to phillies33's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Same happened to me. I felt that it was very bad idea that I went to L&D. Now in school, I'm exposed to a different paradigm, and I can see the difference it makes to outcome of a healthy...

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

    Less than half my class had L&D experience, and third had NO experience whatsover in nursing. I don't remember it saying that on the packet, but whatever, it should not deter you from applying....
