1. Preceptor Problem Solved

   Simplyroses posted a topic in CNM

   I watch with dismay as nurses accept admission to and attend universities that cannot be bothered to arrange clinical rotations. This disturbing trend does not serve the students and it certainly does not serve the reputation of the profession. Att...

2. To Go for DNP or Not?

   Simplyroses replied to 2016BSNGraduate's topic in Doctoral

   If I was 22 years old with a bachelor's degree, looking ahead to 3.5 years for a DNP, I would just apply to medical school. Some medical schools are going to 3 year programs. More hard-core learning and less fluff. More respect, more income.

   Choose references that can speak about your ability to: A) function professionally in a healthcare environment and B) think critically during high-stress situations, and C) handle the academic rigor of graduate school. I have never had an MD provide...

4. CNM Scholarship, HRSA, Georgetown, Frontier

   Simplyroses replied to Doulasana's topic in CNM

   I specifically chose NOT to apply for the scholarship because I could not relocate my kids during their teen years. The placement sites for scholarship awardees can be very limited and located in BFE. I am working for a FQHC in my hometown but prio...

6. Best Midwifery School programs

   Simplyroses replied to Livvy24's topic in CNM

   Choosing a graduate program is very individual. Some programs are on-line and you must find your own preceptors. That can be stressful and challenging if you do not have a great support network established prior to entering the program. In some ar...

7. Utter nonsense

   Simplyroses replied to Neuro Guy NP's topic in Doctoral

   I completely agree! The programs seem to be getting away from "translating research into bedside" practice and moving towards administrative/leadership classes for the DNP. I'm sure academia thinks this is a great idea, but academia is quite often ...

12. Frontier Midwifery Program

    Simplyroses replied to JennyS's topic in CNM

    That is possibly not the most useful question to ask. What is their graduation rate? What is their pass rate on boards? Does my state allow Frontier/distance program or will I have to relocate? Can I find my own preceptor or do I want a school that...

    My background: I've worked in L&D and NICU for 19 years. Many of my adult patients have suffered from addiction to substances, and many of my neonates are born addicted to substances or have had exposure to substances. This year I transition to...

15. Oregon now requires 384 RN or CNM hours prior to licensure

    Simplyroses replied to Simplyroses's topic in CNM

    Actually, Oregon is one of the best states to practice as a midwife. There is great autonomy and independent practice opportunities. The Board of Nursing must really see midwives as nurses first, and then midwives. Many midwives do not identify w...
