  1. California Guidelines...

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

  2. Should I take a job that pays less in order to be home at night with my child?

    Simplyroses replied to kathrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You child will only be home for a short time in the span of your life. You will probably never regret placing your family as a priority. There is time in life to pursue the career goals after he is...

  3. RN student considering CNM

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

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

    Simplyroses replied to micco's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  8. CNM or OB-GYN?

    Simplyroses replied to Midwife or OB-GYN?'s topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Here are a few points to think about: 1. A 3.1 GPA is low for either NP school or medical school. The good NP schools are very competitive for admissions. 2. Midwifery is a different philosophy of...

    Simplyroses replied to Babycatcher1's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

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

  19. Can you negotiate NP salary at the VA?

    Simplyroses replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The VA uses Title 38 and a compensation board sets the local rates. The step thing doesn't really apply. There is always room for negotiation based on your experience and how bad they want

  24. Transitioning from WHNP to CNM?

    Simplyroses replied to kangaroo2's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM
