    LittleWing21 replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Honestly, this is a reason I haven't pursued FNP. So many patients come in seeking meds when that shouldn't be the treatment. Good luck finding something that works better for

    LittleWing21 posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I would love to return to school for my masters but I'm so conflicted about which path! I'm currently an IBCLC with outpatient pedi (and now family practice) experience. I've always been passionate...

  3. CNM without catching babies?

    LittleWing21 replied to LittleWing21's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks for sharing that, it definitely makes sense. I have considered Women's Health, but I just don't know how much I would use my IBCLC. I absolutely love working with postpartum dyads and I feel...

    LittleWing21 replied to anashenwrath's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    If you are looking to work in geriatrics, the Cape is a great place to live!!! You may not get a hospice position right away, but a job as an RN in a LTC facility would probably lead you in the right...

    LittleWing21 replied to catladynurse's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    LittleWing21 replied to CloudySue's topic in Camp

    LittleWing21 replied to ixchel's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm very curious as to what CNMs' schedules are like too. I've tried asking on this board before, but didn't get too many answers. Seems to vary a lot...which is sort of daunting in a "what could I...

  16. Which one would you pick?

    LittleWing21 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing
