  1. "Baby Friendly"

    trauerweidchen replied to aerorunner80's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    BabyRN, it certainly wasn't my intent to offend--apologies if I did so! I was just trying to respond with what my experience has been, which is pretty vastly different from yours, and doesn't make...

  2. "Baby Friendly"

    trauerweidchen replied to aerorunner80's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Those first hours of nursing are important for baby. Colostrum is extremely valuable for newborns, and that time is formative for bringing your milk in/establishing supply, for bonding, and to help...

  3. MEAC program prior to CNM?

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

    Taking a different tactic--if you can't be honest about your background (and use it as applicable knowledge/history to help strengthen your application), is that CNM program going to be a good fit for...

  4. Frontier CNM students

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

    Keep in mind my opinion is hypothetical rather than grounded in experience, but I have heard/read that L&D experience isn't necessarily all that important as a prerequisite to becoming a CNM...

  5. CNM or CPM? Opinions/advice??

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

    Neat! I think MN is a good place to practice. Any idea what part of the state you might wind up in? Perhaps we will bump into each other in the future! This thread is really helpful, thank you...

  6. CNM or CPM? Opinions/advice??

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

    I think cjyff was suggesting that if one wishes to have input from both CPM and CNM educational pathways, it might make more sense to participate in a cheaper, non-MEAC accredited program for some of...

  7. Any GEPN Yale CNM out there?

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

    The problem is really political (at least from what I have read); the CM credential is seen by some as a break of faith between the ACNM and NARM, a way to circumvent or subvert the CPM credential. I...

  8. CNM or CPM? Opinions/advice??

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

    I absolutely agree with this. I know it's a somewhat irrational fear--much like those fears that creep into your head at midnight lying in bed. I know intellectually that it's true about any group;...

  9. CNM or CPM? Opinions/advice??

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

    Queenanneslace, I think I'm you, 10 years ago. Thank you so much for your thoughts. I might need to print your post and tape it to my fridge. I see my path much like yours. I am working with an...

  10. CNM or CPM? Opinions/advice??

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

    I am struggling with this too. I am in the middle of applying to an accredited program for CPMs, but ultimately think I may switch after all for broader scope of practice reasons and because some of...

  11. Frontier Nursing University CLass 113-115

    trauerweidchen replied to Mary C's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    SnowboardRN, I'm so sorry! I was just looking at a local community college program and wondering about the state vs. national accreditation issue as well (I'm looking several years into the future...

  12. Any mamas with a 2-3 yr old and started pre-req's here?

    trauerweidchen replied to Ready-Set-Go's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a 28 month old who started a 3-day morning program just today (!), and I'm planning on working toward taking prerequisites/applying to schools next fall. I already have a BA in chemistry so I'm...
