It is called the medicalization of pregnant women. Women who are pregnant are treated as if there is a problem, not as healthy women. Pregnancy is thought of now as an abnormal state of being.

I am interested in knowing when is the best time to start sending resumes to potential employers? Do you wait until boards are passed? I'm just getting a little ansy. Any insight into this would be helpful.

Oh my gosh.... I cannot believe that....her provider should have offered her a d&c right them and there....what about 2 weeks!!! I have never heard of anything like that. Plus mom could develop infection if products not passed. How awful and ...

Thank you. Life has been crazy for last 3 years...but worth it. I had 3 phone interviews...just be open and honest with your answers. They want to know what is in your heart and how u plan to succeed in the course

I would have to Vagina....pronounced as va-gina

I am I'm my very last class and I am so excited. Yes I agree malpractice is high....but if its in your heart it will keep nagging at you until you do it

In my area of the world, there aren't any docs that will back the CNM.

I have and am currently attending Frontier. Frontier does not pair you up with a preceptor, you have to find your own. Frontier is a distance learning program. There is a part time track and full time track. If you are married and have kids, i su...

I agree that nurse A is responsible for the error.

I would so ignore your professer. Sounds like a real winner saying that. I have been in school for CNM for 1.5 years now... and work in L&D. I had a doc to tell me that as a midwife, I would be "of no use to him" Oh well, at least I know wher...

The answer lies within your heart. If it eats at you every day until you do something about it, you know you want to be a midwife. I too have had a love of labor and delivery and until I applied and was accepted into the program at Frontier, it was...

Congrats to you...now get ready for the ride of your life. I am a fellow student. Have been attending 1.5 years.

My mom was a schoolteacher so she has heard a lot of strange names also. The funniest was Budweiser!!

One that blew my mind was Vagina.... with the sound like regina. I could hardly keep a straight face!!

When I went through the process, they contacted me.

I can't speak for others, but I have been at Frontier for 1.5 years now, and distance learning is effective. I have learned and growed from the experience. It is tough though, and I think it has to be because it is distance learning.

I too am a Frontier student and the forums are a big help. You will be assigned within a group at Bound and hopefully your group will click! I know the group I was in clicked and we offer support to each other. Even though you are not physically c...

Easiest way to find out is throught the ACNM. I too am a Frontier Schooler..

To answer some of your questions: Do you see interventions placed on patients that may not be necessary? The answer is yes all time. If a doctor wants them delivered, they are delivered. Do you see women having sections because they don't need or d...

Well, it can be done slowly with kids by not easily. You study when you can, your house is always a wreck, your spouse gets jealous, but it turns out in the long run. I have a 4 and 6 year old. I wish I had started before I had kids!! I would be ...

I took the stats course from canyon college that Frontier was recommending. I hate math but I did ok in the course.

Pit is always supposed to be on its own pump and piggybacked at the lowest port of a mainline. This sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen with 2 different fluids on the same pump. If it is set a secondary rate what if the primary kicks back in??

Scariest pp problem: PP hemorrhage Funniest: I don't know how to breastfeed Rareist: Death

It is hard to check someone who is way posterior. But, rest assured if you are having that much trouble reaching there cervix, they will not deliver any time soon!!
