Hi everyone, I am looking into ways to rent my fully furnished home to travel nurses. I will be moving two hours away, but want to keep my house because it's a cute little cottage several blocks back from the beach in South Carolina. Do any of you ...

Congrats on almost being done with nursing school! My advice is to look in to different midwifery schools- you have to find what works best for you and your family. Frontier worked great for me since in SC there are no other options. It was also very...

You may need to elaborate on your questions. It you meet all the eligibility requirements and write a decent essay, then most students get in. Getting in is the easy part!

Midwifery is calling. It necessitates that you believe birth and labor is a normal process in a woman life. If you want to work with mothers during this time you have to be able to reassure them of the normalcy of pregnancy. This is hard if you don't...

At Frontier, I feel like some courses/instructors are better about quality recorded lectures than others. But this is going to be true at any school you attend. Your professors will have different strengths and weaknesses. I like to have the recorded...

Make friends with your local CNM's! (Potential clinical instructors) See if you can follow them, or take them to coffee, pick their brains, get perspectives... Making the connections now will give you an advantage to finding clinical sites. Also it w...

Hi, Yes, being a full time student at Frontier does take a lot of time. Some weeks more than others. If you are worried about the commitment you can always start full time and change to part time after the first term. The advisers are great and ve...

I'm in too! Can't wait to meet all of you ladies in a few weeks!!!!!

I have been checking emails for weeks.. but today I think I broke the record... I wish everyone i know would refrain from emailing- Every time that little beep goes off my heart drops! We're getting closer!

Lets all channel good vibes for Friday~~

Even the lay midwifes (who havent been to nursing school) have a certification board and training to complete. NARM | The North American Registry of Midwives is an organization that oversees lay midwifes. Not all lay midwifes are bad at what they do...

Do any of you know when we would be starting classes?? In July maybe??

Hi! I am also waiting... and stalking this list serve... and my email! I applied to the CNM program... I feel like it's been years since we applied.... Haven't heard a peep

If you want to deliver you should look in to going to midwifery school. Certified Nurse Midwifes can deliver in numerous settings. Women' s health NP is great, but you are limited. At least with a CNM you can do deliveries; and if you decide you ha...

You can get a degree to be a licensed practical midwife or lay midwife without a nursing degree. But do your research, while these midwifes are very skilled and talented, they are not as 'recognized' in the medical community. Any medical experience...

I see that the bridge class 126 heard back... so hopefully we are next! I want to make plans with work and starting getting things together for this next step. What is everyone's nursing background?

We had a kid who we thought was a hydrops fetalis- but after a few days on the oscillator and numerous paracentesis- genetics came back that the kid had hemochromatosis. We had to consult a doc in Chicago who suggested an exchange transfusion and se...

Me too! So excited/nervous...

[h=1]Merenstein & Gardner's Handbook of Neonatal Intensive Care, buy it on amazon... will save you!! We recommend all of our new people to get a copy and get familiar.. [/h]

Merenstein & Gardner's Handbook of Neonatal Intensive Care- A great read for an overall view of all things NICU!

I worked for two years in the level two nursery before moving into the "ICU" side of the NICU. I found it very helpful to learn about healthy babies; and learn a good physical assessment base before only working with sick and "abnormal" assessments....

from what i understand (and i dont know if its the real reason- or the research behind it) we turned the venous side up b/c the bi carb and acid arent being used- you are just removing fluid- with the red side down (the side hat removes the fluid) it...
