  2. Salary at washington medical center.

    Sorry, I don't understand how that works either. I thought the starting salary for new grads or Clin Nurse I's was 27.63 or something like
  3. Help! best places to live

    If you're doing 7-7, I think you should be fine, that would be mean, you're leaving your house at roughly 6am and getting back home roughly 8:30 to 9pm. In the morning, I think there will be enough...
  4. Evening/Weekend RN programs

    Look into Villa Julie aka Stevens College. They may have some eve/weekend classes, but not a program per
  5. Nursing at Towson University

    I had the same problem. I was SCARED to death when I had my first clinicals. At the time I was living by myself, so I couldn't even practice blood pressures on anybody. I was completely alone, but...
  6. Is CNM right for me?

    If your desire to be a CNM is to work with mom to attain a positive birth experience-given the optimal circumstances- and to ensure a healthy baby , then I would say being a CNM is right for

    If you go to NursesUnited website (the WHC nurses union), they break down the differentials quite
  9. Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC

    While you're waiting for your PM, I'm sure this info has been posted somewhere. It's either in this thread or the NY hospital salary
  10. Neo-Natal Nurse Practioner Question

    The way I read it was that she works as a NICU nurse concurrently as she does the MSN NNP portion, so by the time she graduates from the pogram, she would have satisfied the two year
  11. How to become a holistic nurse?

    My take on it-and I may be wrong-is that once you become an RN and start implementing holistic or CAM modalities (i.e. guided imagery, acupressure, etc), then you can become certified under their time...
  12. cytotec question

    How does IVF space out ctx's (in general)?. What is the physiology behind
  13. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    Uh, I hope this won't be a repeat of what happened before. Remember, you told one person and the whole department knew your business. It's unfortunate what happened, but please know that your...
  14. Need job offer advice...

    I agree with all the ladies. The office gig sounds like a good fit with the scheduling, pay and
  15. Fundal Measurement - Postpartum

    I think the read the same thing. It's always confused the hell out of me. I'm glad to see this is incorrect. All my fundal checks (so far) have been at U or -1. I think I might have had one mom with a...
  16. potential job conflict

    Wow, this program director is a trip. Don't give her the information! If she sees you in person, let her know that the position is not publicly posted, and you don't feel comfortable giving out the...
  17. FNP vs. CPM?

    The bolded can be a little tricky. OP, now that you know being an CNM doesn't necessarily support a medicalized approach, have you considered getting both your CNM and
  18. Nose Piercing

    I agree. I wanted to get a teeny tiny nose stud, but my job's policy won't allow it. Although, the residents seem to get away with
  19. Aspiring CNMs who work L&D

    I felt the same way, although I did reveal that I wanted to become a midwife in my interview. The only reason I revealed it was because they asked the 5 year question and they have midwives on staff,...
  20. Will i be hard to find a job?

    Well, you can forget about NY Presbysterian. If you have not done your clinicals there ( and a whole lot of other requirements), you can't work there as a new grad. I think it's kind of ridiculous,...

    Wow, you're
  22. Intro and a few questions

    Hi Meemers! Welcome to the board. My story is a little similar to yours. I have a bachelors in biology and have even done some graduate work. I went for my ADN, just graduated in May 2008 and am...

    Welcome! We love to hear from new people on the CNM board. Please keep us abreast your journey towards becoming a
  24. May 2008 grads....how are things going?

    I googled it and it looks great. Personally, if one is going to do a residency (I'm in one now), I think they should take advantage and do it in a speciality. Why waste this opportunity on an area...
  25. May 2008 grads....how are things going?

    If you don't mind doing med/surg for a year, I'd say to just do it and get it over with. Had I been able to tolerate med/surg, I would've done it. If you go to med/surg first, just let the...
