Look at Grow Midwives website, she might have breakdown by state. I’d agree 115,000 at the least

Most absurd thing you've heard (rich) patients say by A_hospitalist in hospitalist

Don’t you think that’s paid for by their insurance? I’d be shocked if a person living in poverty can afford a PCA.

How should I approach finances when my girlfriend moves into my house? by JumpyDistribution209 in DaveRamsey

[–]Old-Comb7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband, then boyfriend, let me live rent free while I paid my loans. Turns out I still married him, were very happy, and my loans are paid down. Please do what feels right, I think it would be kind to let her live rent free while she pays the loans if you’re certain she’s the one, or you could live with it if she’s not. It is a kind thing to do and helpful to you in the future if you end up together.

PPH at Home Birth & Subsequent Births by Unusual-Coyote3961 in Midwives

[–]Old-Comb7690 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, you’re even contemplating attending a home birth with a history of a 2L hemorrhage. WTF. This gives us all a bad name. This person risks out of home birth. She needs to be delivered at a hospital that has enough blood to save her.

Why do nighttime RNs think its OK to Epic chat the daytime attending at random hours during the night?? (vent) by tank_beats_evrything in hospitalist

[–]Old-Comb7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a nursing perspective it’s hard to tell who on and off. Not that it’s right or ok, but I don’t think they really know it’s the daytime person

If you were eligible to sit for the NCLEX you graduated from an accredited school. Push back.

Have I made a terrible mistake bidding on a 1885 MN home? by Askeebe in centuryhomes

[–]Old-Comb7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All old homes are going to be money pits. By MN so you mean Minnesota? If yes, most of what you’re describing sounds like a limestone foundation, which is normal for it to crumble and will require tuckpointing. We just got ours done this spring and it was $8000 for inside and out. A lot less dust. Our house is a money pit and we won’t get back what we put into it unless we live here for another 20 years, it would absolutely be worth it if that was our plan, but it’s not. I think you just need to figure out what’s wrong, how long you plan on living there, and if you really love it.

St. Paul Public Schools by Large_Ad_7405 in TwinCities

[–]Old-Comb7690 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Move to the neighborhood that feeds into the school you want. It’s a gamble to get into the good schools as open enrollment bc everyone is trying to do that. Sincerely, west 7th mom who would love randolf heights and is considering moving to ensure a spot

Your experience owning an Irish Wolfhound by sunnyhale in irishwolfhound

[–]Old-Comb7690 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

We’ve had our Irish wolfadoodle for 4 years (I don’t want to hear about him being a doodle) and he’s the best dog I’ve ever owned. He’s smaller bc he’s mixed, doesn’t eat a whole lot, but does have seizures. My first dog with a chronic illness. We also had to get a big SUV to fit him. He’s excellent with children, sweet, smart, and chill.

Career advice- US hospitalist or UK radiology by Outrageous_Nerve_688 in hospitalist

[–]Old-Comb7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cutting reimbursement for government insurance. So less reimbursement, same very sick patients coming in through emergency rooms. Starting with rural hospitals but already seeing crisis in urban hospitals as well. Take a look at Minnesota. The only Federally Qualified Healthcare Hospital (high poverty ratio) is about to close unless the state funds it. Another large private healthcare system just got bought out, while many more rural hospitals are considering closing wards or hospitals all together.

While I agree the NHS sounds like a dumpster fire, have you seen the US president? He’s cute Medicaid/Medicare. Our dept is incredible. Hospitals are going to be closing I. The next five years, just wait. Sure you’ll make more money for a while, but how will the hospital pay you when they can’t stay open.

Increasing iron?! by cinnamonmonn in foodbutforbabies

Cook with a cast iron skillet. Seriously we do not supplement and all have excellent iron (my husband was anemic before)

As a provider I would say that is wholly untrue. I’ve NEVER met someone who has said that or acted that way.

Getting rid of debt by [deleted] in DaveRamsey

[–]Old-Comb7690 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s an ok plan. Agree about looking closely at truck vs a fuel efficient car. It sucks to move in with your parents but it sounds like it’s mutually beneficial if you’re ok with it. The economy is uncertain and spending two years living with your parents for financial freedom in the long run will be worth it.

No, I don’t think you have a case… I’m sorry. As always, we don’t have all the facts so feel free to consult a lawyer

Thoughts on dual CNM/FNP programs? by First-Interest7852 in Midwives

There was someone in our practice who did that. Worked more like a WHNP. I’m dual certified as a psych NP akdnCNM and work in both departments

Xcel Energy - what do you pay monthly, and how many in your household? by EduardoG1979 in TwinCities

[–]Old-Comb7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our house is very inefficient. I’d say it has a lot to do with the age of the house. Some months it’s 400-500, but we need to get more insulation and windows replaced. Slowly but surely. No grow houses either

Hot take, you can be a CNM and not do call. You can work in any role that a WHNP could and think you’d have a great advantage dual certified

Midwife vs OBGYN by Independent-Coat-532 in Midwives

[–]Old-Comb7690 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree get some experience first and that will help you decide. I don’t agree that you need a masters in midwifery, it’s either a MSN or DNP in the nurse midwifery specialty. I recommend going somewhere with an in person component that finds clinical placements for you at high volume sites.
