   TarheelGirlx3 posted a topic in CNM

   Hello everyone, You may or may not have seen my previous post about not really enjoying bedside L&D nursing. In fact, I almost dread going to work every single night. This is a long post, so hang with me! Backstory: I started working in a coron...

   Thanks for your response....I was starting to doubt myself and career choices because I LOVE everything about women's health and want to empower women about their own bodies and what they are capable of....but it's hard to keep the faith when you wor...

   Cardiac ICU nurse here! I dont know how your hospital system is set up but we have a cardiac rehab program at our fitness center that hires nurses....they work with post MI, CHF patients, etc. A lot of our older nurses go there when they want to esca...

7. ICU to OB or Med Surg to OB

   TarheelGirlx3 replied to paolahevia's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Vote for ICU! I graduated nursing school in 2015, accepted a job in ICU. I've learned SO much in that time frame. Accepted a job in L&D today! I think the critical thinking skills and reaction times you develop in the ICU will help in L&D bec...

8. Best review for CCRN?

   TarheelGirlx3 replied to kccRN's topic in Critical

11. Frontier Nursing FNP Class 161

    TarheelGirlx3 replied to TarheelGirlx3's topic in NP Students

    I thought it was odd, and kind of concerning. I will update if I hear anything. Unfortunately, that isn't a program that I can apply to. I live in NC and online programs have to be approved, so I'm limited to the number of out of state programs th...
