Anyone apply to Frontier's CNM class 134? I'd love to connect with those eagerly awaiting acceptance results, like me!

Thanks! These will be really helpful!

I am beginning the process of searching for CNM preceptors for Clinicals. I am starting with plenty of time, but curious as to the best way to go about this. Should I send letters to the offices? Try to phone the midwives? Send emails? Any direction ...

On our floor, it seemed like the 'curse' would follow one person for a couple months or so and that person would be plagued with all the codes, rrts, and patients that were circling the drain. It will always jump to someone else eventually, this just...

You hear 6-8 weeks before the bound date

Working while going to school is not impossible. Hard work, yes, but it can be done

I am completely freaking out. I am all set to begin my CNM program. I've been so excited and anxious to start and then, all of a sudden, I start freaking out about the amount of responsibility that comes with being a CNM. I'm not sure I want to be th...

Uhh! This is my biggest fear! Good luck!

Yes, you must find your own clinical locations. I hear the difficulty varies with location. Some people have no issues and other have a lot.

Congrats! I moved from a cardiac step down unit to mom/baby several months ago. I still have a difficult time adjusting to the pace difference. In all the downtime I've acquired at work, I started reading maternal newborn and perinatal nursing books ...

If it is something you want to do and have a passion for, it is a good choice

Please, please, please, ask someone for help when you need it! It is not worth an injury. I would gladly help my cna roll a patient, even if I'm busy, if it means there's less risk for an injury. When I have had completely immobile patients I have ne...

I started as a new grad in psych and left after two months. There wasn't nearly enough skills or critical thinking moments to satisfy me. I transferred to an icu step down/cardiac unit and got amazing experience! If I hadn't left that psych job, I wo...

I'm currently taking the AWHONN fetal monitoring course online as it is required for school. Where would you put this on a resume? Under education? Skills? Not sure what to put it under

Currently, we typically give IVP, diluted with 10ml NS, and over 2 minutes.

Many masters programs I looked into require you to take the GRE if your gpa is not up to their standards

I had a baby this week that was consistently scoring 4 and below and the family was going to be discharged. Luckily, the dr decided to keep them another night and he ended up scoring 14 that morning. Sometimes it just takes longer than others, I thin...

I should add, these classes are not available through Frontier. Another cert that people find helpful is STABLE.

Depends on what program through frontier you are applying for. I'm in the CNEP track for CNM and although not required specifically for applying, we are required to have NRP and AWOHNN fetal monitoring course before we start Clinicals. If OB is the f...

I believe Centura is one of the lower paying hospital systems. Not a bad company, but expect to get paid a little more some where else

I would also recommend reading about newborn transition after delivery. It's amazing to know that fetal oxygenation is only around 60% in utero and after delivery, during transition, it can take newborns up to 10 minutes to obtain normal oxygenation!...

I think a lot of your fears could have been resolved if your healthcare team had provided better communication to you. I'm sorry it wasn't a better experience for you. Giving birth can be scary as so many things can go wrong. This is one of the reaso...
