  2. Circ boards

    mamagui posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

  3. Too soon to apply for dream specialty?

    mamagui replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Go for it! I know a couple of girls from my nursing school cohort that got hired into NICU as new grads, so with 6 months of experience you would have a leg up on

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

  6. Would you hire an MUSC grad over anyone else?

    mamagui replied to lowkey_44's topic in General Nursing

    I assume you mean that the OT program must have been expanded. The nursing program is over 100 years

  7. Does anyone know Spanish?

    mamagui replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in General Students

  10. Frontier Midwifery Program

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

    With regards to the rigors of this program or that, I believe that education is what you make of it. If you feel like you are not being pushed enough, then push yourself to the standard that you...

  11. The process

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

    Do you know how long you will be stationed in VA? I looked into Shenandoah U a while back and, despite being an "online' program, they require a LOT of on campus visits. Like a couple times a week for...

  12. Not a nurse yet, what CNM program is best?

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

  16. Shadowing

    mamagui replied to mamagui's topic in Operating Room

  18. CM in NY

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

  19. How to find midwife preceptor?

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

  20. Acceptance and difficulty of admission

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

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

    Phila U has a CM program for non-nurses, and a CNM for nurses. You will still sit for the same boards as a MSN program and you still get the CNM credential. FWIW. You will NOT have a Masters in...
