    biggolp replied to ReginaK's topic in General Students

    What if I attend a non-regionally accredited school for my ADN and then an accredited school for my RN to BSN? Where does that leave me in terms of continuing for my

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

    In NY, I have seen the titles of CNM and CM used almost interchangeably. Most jobs advertise that they are looking for a CM or CNM, and even if they post a job for CNM, I'm sure a CM can equally...
