    queenanneslace replied to guest1163268's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  4. Vaccination Mandating

    queenanneslace replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

  5. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    queenanneslace replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not in charge of firing nurses, so I'm not sure of the exact game plan. I agree, it is massively disruptive to staffing, and dangerous to patients. But I cannot fathom why my colleagues are...

  6. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    queenanneslace replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

  8. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    queenanneslace replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In trying to understand the absurdly high anti-vax rate among my coworkers and colleagues, this explanation makes sense. It's not real to them, any critically-ill pregnant patient is sent to ICU....

    queenanneslace replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

  11. Frontier CNM Program hours of study per week

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

  13. Most successful way to find a preceptor

    queenanneslace replied to Ashley9247's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I see a lot of questions about finding preceptors, and not a lot of responses. First (maybe this is obvious) - making online requests to the universe at large for a preceptor is probably not very...

  14. Frontier CNM Program hours of study per week

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

    I worked 24-32 hours per week on average. I had to do a lot of networking - and way ahead of time - to secure a site. Ideally, I wanted more sites, but it worked out that the practice was large...

  15. Frontier CNM Program hours of study per week

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

    I enrolled part-time for a couple of reasons. - My workplace had tuition reimbursement if I maintained my work schedule at a certain FTE. It was fairly generous - $3500-4000/year toward a graduate...

    queenanneslace replied to Surfandnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've never worked at a hospital where IOL without indication at 39+0 weeks is the norm. It might be your hospital, or the culture of your geographic

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

  18. Survival guide for women of color

    queenanneslace replied to dinah77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    dinah77, I've really been thinking about these suggestions - and they are all sound and good. I think we also need to include a primer for people who work in healthcare who want to address the racial...

  19. Survival guide for women of color

    queenanneslace replied to dinah77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "Could it be related to WOC being more genetically likely to experience post-partum complications such as hemorrhage? " I'm not saying this to be inflammatory, just information. Please consider how...

  20. Survival guide for women of color

    queenanneslace replied to dinah77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Kira and her husband needed ALLIES - they needed a nurse, or an aide, a physician, or SOMEONE to give a damn and to advocate for her getting timely care. She died from medical negligence, exacerbated...

    queenanneslace replied to nurselambda's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  23. gnosis

    queenanneslace replied to XXXX5's topic in Ob/Gyn

  24. ARRIVE trial results - elective induction of labor at 39 weeks

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

    "Mother Nature is, indeed, a terrible obstetrician, but that's not a bad thing because she's a great midwife." It seems like she's mixing metaphors a little bit. What do you think this
