  1. Advice for an EMT volunteering with clinic births in South America?

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

    One thing you can do is to have the mother try pushing on her side or on all fours if the facility will allow it. This opens up the pelvis and allows for a larger space for the baby to pass through....

  2. Frontier Clinical Bound

    MidwifeMom posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am thinking about going to Frontier for nurse midwifery next year but am concerned about the clinical bound portion of the program. I read on Frontier's website that students give and receive pelvic...

  3. Frontier Clinical Bound

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

    I understand her point about not exploiting women in Kentucky due to the poverty. I would feel like I was exploiting a woman who was just volunteering because of financial issues. I also understand...

  4. liability

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

    I agree with you 100 percent. I think women need midwives in places where there are none because without midwives I think the philosophy of normal birth is lost and we begin to see more complications...

  5. liability

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

    I have also heard these statements coming from other nurses. I think it is more from a lack of understanding about the midwifery profession. Research supports the midwifery model of care for birth. I...

  6. Frontier Clinical Bound

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

    Selke thanks for your post. I am glad at least one person can understand my feelings. I just don't think it is acceptable for midwifery schools to require this. Sure we can all get through this, but...

  7. Frontier Clinical Bound

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

    I don't think it is a question of maturity or not. I think it has to do with being the one in charge of your own body and not accepting less. I will not exploit my body for teaching purposes. I am...

  8. Frontier Clinical Bound

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

    Sorry, let me clarify a little. I just feel like students with a history of an STD or sexual abuse should have the right to refuse just because the experience itself might be traumatizing for them...

  9. Frontier Clinical Bound

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

    I understand that the population of women will consist of women with stds or sexual abuse which are extremely vulnerable. I do not agree with causing these women more trauma then what they have...

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

    Have you heard anything about Frontier requiring pelvic exams on each other? I was considering Frontier, but I read in their handbook that students "will give and receive pelvic exams at clinical...

  11. Frontier Clinical Bound

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

    I know Columbia does this for sure but was unsure about Frontier. Midwyf what do you mean students have to do one before they can start clinical? Does it have to be on a mannequin or another student?...

  12. Considering Frontier in Kansas?

    MidwifeMom posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM
