Any CNMs with families/small kids?

[fertile_myrtle]

I am starting Frontier's Bridge (CNEP) program this April (Frontier Bound is in Feb!!) and this has been my dream for a very long time. I am very excited, but now the self doubt and negative self talk creeps in now and again. I am married, work part time, and we have five kids. They are pretty young still (12y, 8y, 7y, 3y, 1y). I would love to meet another CNM, or even a student, that has a younger or larger family like mine.

Thanks...

Ellen

Judy,

How do you work it out with your kids if you have to drop everything and run??

Yes, that is a big question for me as well! My children will be 10, 7 & 7, and 6 when I graduate. My husband will most likely own his own business at the time, and I am concerned about arrangements for childcare... I know I will do this regardless, and will figure it out when the time comes, but any suggestions?

I only have the three boys 11, 7 and 3 and work full time as a clinical manager and full time MSN program at frontier so far so good - I put an ad on craige list and interviewed for partime nannie live out - works great she come three days a week to be with the boys in our home some time we are there with me studing and things work out great.
