  1. Future CNM

    AspiringNurseMW replied to DreamerCNM2b's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Check out Childbirth International, CBI, I plan to do my training with them and it's all online. I have 2 little ones and it would be difficult for me to make the trainings of most other organizations...

  2. Doula training

    AspiringNurseMW replied to mommy2anangel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Income potential is going to depend on the market and her experience (the more experience the more she can charge). There are various organizations with which she can choose to become certified, I...

  3. The Fat One

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Pink86's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Me and you both. I'm also Dominican by blood, although born in Puerto Rico, but I look African American (especially when I get box braids) I'm used to "morena" and "negrita" being terms of endearment....

  4. Pax exam, special accommodations

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Blance2's topic in General Students

    This is an online forum where people spend their time assuming, presuming, and stating opinions. You must specific and clear, I too, upon reading your first few posts, thought that you were just...

  5. Nursing School APN Acceptance!!

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in General Students

    Background: I am 27 years old with 2 children 4 and 1. I completed my first semester this past fall with a 3.9 GPA for 17 credits. I took the PAX, the entrance exam required by my school, and scored a...

  6. Nursing School APN Acceptance!!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Students

    Thanks all. I'm still in disbelief! I still swell up with a little bit of emotion when I think about it. I consult with the nursing advisor next week to schedule classes and orientation is 2 months...

  7. How often do midwives deliver babies?

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

    For example, a hospital in NYC that delivers over 5000 babies per year or a more rural location that only has 500 births a year. Also as a hospital based midwife I think it's going to depend on how...

  8. How often do midwives deliver babies?

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

    That's depends more on the hospital and city than midwife vs OB. You can do however much "OB" things, by which 8 assume you mean prenatal care, as your job allows. I both worked at a birth center...

  9. Being an individual

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Circulate's topic in Men in Nursing

    Isn't this a duplicate

  10. Should Nurses know procedural costs?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Nolagrace1202's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nope, that's what the billing department is for. I think it would only complicate things, medical insurance is a monster, and often one price is billed to insurance but there is another price billed...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mal88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I passed the first time. I studied mostly over the summer for a month or so then I refreshed about a week before the test. I would've studied more but I was taking 17 credits at the time! I studied...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mal88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The practice test truly helped for me. And the good thing is that you have 2 more chances to pass, if you don't pass in the spring you can take it again in the fall before the deadline. I think what...

    Thanks, the wait is totally a soul - killer!

  15. Pursuing Nurse Midwifery?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to JulzMendoza's topic in General Students

    Hello! I just got accepted to nursing school and will start in the fall. I am going to nursing school solely because I want to be a Midwife, at least it's why I started pursuing it. The more I learn...

  16. Associates after Bachelors

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Infofreak411's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What the PP said. If you are worried about what other people think, don't, no one will care. Getting a ASN does not demean in any way your "precious bachelor's". It's not like you'll lose

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mal88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just spoke to someone, she said they wouldn't penalize us late "aceptees ". After we submit the clearances we get a bigger packet in the mail. She said orientation is May

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mal88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you been contacted about orientation or registering for intro to nursing? I left a message about the clearances, I got the same packet as everyone else with the same due date, March 20 which is...

  21. Work oppurtunity

    AspiringNurseMW replied to motheringheart's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Try asking this in the cnm forum. I've read in a few places of L&D nurses continuing to work in L&D after they become a CNM while they wait for their first CNM job, but idk about

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mal88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You would think.... But I think they don't have enough staff to look at resumes and even do something smart like interview say the top 300 for 150

  24. Hospitalist Midwife

    AspiringNurseMW replied to imenid37's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    That is likely my biggest fear of actually becoming a midwife in a hospital setting, treading that fine line between conforming enough to policies to preserve my job yet helping to effect change....

    I hope I don't sound callous but I also wonder why. They won't even consider anyone without a
