Just wanted to share this little gem - a bit of humor tonight!
I'm stunned! All of this hard work I'm putting in, all these classes I'm taking, all of the four hours of homework I did tonight, and all of the time away from my precious babies! All of this I'm going through in order to be the most educated, competent, balanced CNM and it isn't necessary?? All I really have to do is go to the library and read a few childbirth and medical books? Well I'll be!! I've read numerous childbirth books and quite a few nursing books! Guess I'm already a CNM - now who wants to let me deliver their sweet little one?
Really though. In all seriousness. I can only hope and pray this statement isn't believed as true by many. Equating the education of a CNM or OB to that of someone who simply goes to the library and reads a few books on pregnancy and birth is just insane.
Where is the logic? Where are the facts? Where is the truth?

Saw that yesterday, CRAZY! And then she was saying everyone was twisting her words and that isn't what she meant. WTF!? I don't see how that can be interpreted any other way. And then she refused to acknowledge that clarity was needed. She is getting so mad at the other page for talking about her but its like everything she says just fuels the fire and she doesn't get it.
I don't understand why people want their babies to be delivered by someone who leisurely read a few books at home! Sure, I read books about birth, but I would never consider that enough to be able to deliver a baby. Serious lack of standards. You need to be tested to be sure you know and understand what you read! OMG! some people...
that comment was definitely too broad. All clinical health care is learned as a combination of didactic/ hands-on learning (apprenticeship). For those programs that offer a route to midwifery that does not require a nursing degree first, but do have a didactic requirement prior to the hands-on (apprenticeship) requirement, how is that substandard? Do you really think you will be a better midwife because you know how to provide tracheostomy care to a patient?
