    birthmamaew replied to mAGGI315's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think it really depends on what type of learner you are. I, like midwife2b am not one who does well with online courses. However, Frontier is supposed to be so amazing, that if you can learn that...

    birthmamaew posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    birthmamaew replied to golden-hair's topic in Post Graduate Students

    birthmamaew replied to leeleechee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  17. Violent Sex Offender on our unit (long)...

    birthmamaew replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, said, indigo girl. Like I said earlier, this has taken on the proportions of abortion and politics. People hear what they want to hear and that's it. Open minds need not apply. Also, there...
