Hi Ms. Spooner.
Are you ever going to reply? I’ve sent this five or six times and I’ve sent a copy to Dr. Cresswell. Is this not something you can address as my compliance officer? If not, please let me know who can answer my questions.  

I just wanted confirmation that these Board of Nurses courses (from RN.com) I’ve taken from the are sufficient. Im including a list of all the courses over the last four years. You’ll see that I have over 344 CEUs of which 61.95 CEUs (23 classes) are in Medical Record Keeping, 32 CEUs (13 classes) are in Medical Ethics and 53.9 CEUs (17 classes) are in the evaluation and identification of high risk pregnancies. I’m sure you’ll find these as more than sufficient in fulfilling this sanction 2.   
Thank you. 

First email re:sanction 2 (344 CEUs)

So I practically have another college degree based on the number of continuing education units I have taken in the last three years. For reference in order to recertify a midwifery license in Louisiana, one needs 15 CEUs/per year. I have 344. Not only do I have a EMT certificate, BS degree, AA degree in midwifery, and Diploma in Midwifery, I have the NARM’s most recent certification— the bridge certificate to essentially make my education standard. I am a preceptor able to teach fledgling midwifery students. I am basically over-qualified for any out-of-hospital midwife position. States should be clamoring to have me practice there. They should be handing me licenses. Since my compliance officer still (since 2017) has not answered my question about which classes will fulfill sanction 2, I reach out to her once again.

CEUs: RN.com is better than the MA Medical Society?

12/1/2017 JM, Please use the courses from Louisiana State Board of Nurses. The courses you sent are good for continuing education but are not comprehensive enough to satisfy the stipulations of your Order. ES

*Ms. Spooner is referring to the courses I sent her on 11/28/2017 from the Massachusetts Medical Society. (Courses for physicians.) She is saying that these ones are not comprehensive enough, yet the courses from Rn.com, written by virtually anyone, are more rigorous. *Head desk* I email her to clarify, because…. I’m dumbfounded. 

12/1/2017 ES, Just to be clear. These courses are sufficient? And not the ones from Massachusetts?
