I am currently a CNM/FNP (we are called FNM) student at Emory in Atl. I had 7 years of RN L&D experience before I entered the program. However, the program I am in does not require you to have any L&D experience they only require you to have your BSN and they also offer a bridge program for that. I think the students who don't have any experience do have a harder time, but they are all very smart and they are doing it. I also think that it is great that you are getting some med-surg experience. I don't have that and I really think it is helpful for those that have it. Especially since I am doing the dual program. There are lots of great schools out there. You just need to do your research and call and talk to them. I spoke to the head of our program many times before I made my final decision. The thing that attracted me to Emory was the dual degree program in 5 semesters. I hate to think about 2 boards but I think it will be worth it. I am loving school and I can't say enough about my program and the great group of educators we have. If you have any more questions or if I can help your decision let me know! Good luck and follow your dreams!!!!
