Tanya, that's more than enough experience. :) The general requirement is 1 year of Nursing in any field. I actually got in with 6 months RN experience because I also have experience working in Mom/Baby as a CNA (while I was in RN school), have experience as a LC and had a 6 month practicum in a high-risk L & D.
I hope you are able to apply soon and good luck! :)

Tanya, your experience would be fine! :) Like Ginny said, you only need 1 year of nursing experience, and it does not have to be in L&D. They will consider other types of health care experience, too.
The work experience I had as an RN was not OB-related.
Best wishes as you make your decision!
Oh yes, I should clarify that my 6 months RN experience is in Med-Surg :)

I had 2.5 years of NICU experience. I just got back from Frontier Bound and there were multiple girls with no L&D experience, many ranges of work experience! If this is what you want, apply!! Good luck to you :)

Brrr! How was it there in winter? I went to Frontier Bound in August, and the worst thing we had to worry about was chigger bites.

I just wanted to jump in and say hi & congratulations on being accepted to Frontier! I'm in Bridge Class 64. Just finishing my 2nd year, with two more years to go. I'm doing the part-time route toward my midwifery degree.
This program is awesome - I have to say that! It's hard, very time consuming, but amazing! I do not regret for one moment doing this.:heartbeat:redpinkhe
