Hey Good luck to you all....I'm in the CNEP 64 class with two more terms to go until Clinical Bound...I can't wait! When I applied to Frontier I didn't know any NPs or CNMs, so I asked the nurse manager, nurse educator, and a co-worker/friend to be m...

ditto and yep yep yep. I had two babies in nursing school and already had a school aged child. That was tough. I work full time with two 12s one week and three 12s the next on weekend nights. My kids are in school and daycare M-F, that way I can stud...

By the way, I worked L&D for 6 weeks and went back to cardiology. In L&D I found myself covering my butt more than anything. I wanted to be the doula but had to watch the monitor etc...Hated it! No body in my tele job get it, but I don't care...

Epiphany, That was absolutely beautiful! I am currently a CNEP student, finishing my 3rd term at Frontier. I took my first class related to midwifery. Reproductive phys. It was the basics, but like you said, I am wondering how I am going to really "k...

Hi all. I am a new RN working in a step down tele unit. I have worked there since graduation (last year), and maybe because I work night shift, never had to transfer a pt to ICU until last night. I had a pt post sx who had an appendectomy. He was sta...

Hi there! I got accepted into Frontier Bound class 64 and am wondering if there is anyone out there who would like to carpool/share expenses on a rental car. According to Frontier's website, the airport is about 3 hours away from the school.

So here I am working L&D. I have been there 4 weeks now and guess what? I am not particularly happy there. I am bothered by the fact that every woman who walks through our doors in intervened upon. I am bothered that we "RN's" have to cover our b...

my 10 yr old is in school until 3pm but my little ones 3 and 17 months are home with me and my hubby. There is no way I can study successfully with them monkeeying around the house all day.

Hi! We are not the only ones in CNM school without L&D experience. I think we'll be fine. Now I'm trying to find day care for school.

I did it! I quit L&D.........Agh! I'm goin back to tele, tele, tele, To work 75% weekend days. That is the best schedule I can get for school and family. I always doubt my decisions. But this time I am going to stick it out, go to school and foc...

The more I think about going back to tele the better it sounds. I was working straight nights over there and it wore me down emotionally and mentally. I have three kids at home so I rarely got enough sleep unless I hired someone to watch the kids. My...

hey Mom2Micheal, I actually called my old manager from the tele unit today and asked if I could have my job back. She said I could but wants me to think about it for a week. I don't know what to do again. I do love birth but not like this....I'm bore...

I should have read this thread prior to posting a new thread. I have been a RN for a little over year and worked in tele. I will start midwifery school in December and thought I should get L&D experience. Now four weeks into my orientation I am f...

I felt the same way. I only became a RN so that I could become a midwife. I had no interest in working with sick people either. In school, my favorite class was ob and I loved the clinical. After graduation I applied to L&D in two hospitals. They...

I haven't registered on BT101 yet. Am I on there? My name is Marci. Heritage, which hotel will you stay in? Maybe we can do some sightseeing together before catching the bus to Hyden. OMG I can't believe this is real!

I was having second thoughts about going to school right now but have decided to stick with my heart. I'll see you there! Is anyone arriving November 30th? From my neighborhood, there are not any flights that will get me there Dec 1 in time to catch ...

I have been thinking about what Smark35 and Mom2micheal have said and here is what I have decided... First of all, I have quit my tele job and am now orienting to L&D. Since I left my last job I have been on a normal schedule, meaning I get to sl...

I am having second thoughts about going to school this December because of my family obligations. I have a 10 year old, a 2.5 year old and a 14 month old. My hubby and I are considering the possibility of purchasing a new home because the one we live...

I will begin orientation in L&D the week of the 20th. I did not mention that I was going to midwifery school out of fear that they would not want to hire me if they knew. I think I should be quiet about pursuing an advanced degree in midwifery. ...

I would like to ride the shuttle bus as well. OMG! I am so excited!

Hi All, In my first semester of nursing school I was pregnant and my baby was born at home (one hour labor) in the hot tub on Thanksgiving break! I brought her to school the following Monday for an exam, and managed to get through school. Although, I...

Hi all and thanks for your replies. Honestly, in hind site, I have to admit that I didn't ask for help. I hate to admit it but it is true. Other than call the MD and RT. I wasn't trying to hide anything. I called and talked to the MD while sitting n...

Thanks Athena55, I appreciate your support. Would you believe that when I went to work last night it was a continuation of the previous night? I got report and was slammed with three high priorities on three different pt's! One of which was tachypne...

Thank you all so much for your feedback. It is so nice to talk to people who can understand my dilemma! I am interested in working at the one and only free standing birthing center in my area but first I would need my NRP...according to my hospitals ...
