  1. Baystate Medical Center Midwifery Program

    Simplyroses replied to BrittanyNicole90's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am a current student at OHSU and have been VERY impressed with the faculty. In addition, the school arranges the clinical sites for the students. It is rigorous and challenging and I love

  2. L&D nursing an NICU

    Simplyroses replied to cxe008's topic in Ob/Gyn

    To become really good at either specialty will take 1-2 years full-time, minimum. I know, because I am both. Both worlds are wonderful, and yes, now I can work either place. However, each specialty...

  3. L/D vs CNM

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

    Ah yes. That happened to me once. That is something that usually only happens to you once because you make sure it doesn't happen again. I even had blood in my hair! Loved that

  4. CNM with no LD experience?

    Simplyroses replied to aerorunner80's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Being a midwife is very different than being an L&D nurse. Midwifery is a much larger scope of practice. Learning to manage labor is valuable, but it doesn't train you to manage a clinical...

  5. WHNP: Interested in women health but have been reading FNP better?

    Simplyroses replied to Grace RN BSN's topic in Advanced Practice

    FNP clinicals have very little focus on Women's Health. Maybe one term. Study what you love and make it work. The WHNP programs focus on your area of interest, and all your clinicals are in that...

    Simplyroses replied to new_horizons555's topic in Advanced Practice

    In Spokane, Washington, FNP's start at $80,000-90,000. Only the federally funded clinics have wages at $55,000 but they qualify for student loan

  7. Repeated Tries x 5 to Enter L/D field--Still applying Suggestions

    Simplyroses replied to SINGMAGGIE-RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Here's how I broke into L&D as a new grad: I volunteered. The American Red Cross will sponsor RN's who hold an active RN license to volunteer in the military hospitals. I asked in the volunteer...

  8. Frontier - finding a preceptor

    Simplyroses replied to Mel_81_99's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    OHSU faculty told me that the school finds the clinical sites for their students. This can be a big

  9. Brick and mortar CNM schools....

    Simplyroses replied to Katie71275's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I start at OHSU this fall. Yay! OHSU is ranked by US News as the #1 Midwifery program in the nation. It is a brick and mortar school so you have to be able to relocate to Portland, OR. Originally...

  10. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    Simplyroses replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Back to the original post: A brick and mortar school may not necessarily be superior. Washington State University offers an FNP at a brick and mortar class, but most classes can be taken on-line....
