Has anyone ever attended this school or know of anyone who has. What kind of reputation does it have? After reading their website I was very interested in their "community focus" and combined CNM/WHNP program. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Specializes in OB/GYN.

I recently graduated from Frontier and it was a good program. Tough, but I got a great education.

As far as having L&D experience first they used to require it but now accept people without it. The few students I saw without L&D really struggled. One dropped out. one changed to WHNP, and one can't pass clinical. Most sites won't accept a student without L&D experience. Even if you do find a site it may be difficult to find a job once you graduate. I can't even imagine going into midwifery without L&D experience. You won't know SVE's, how to read a strip, or have that intuition that things are not right. You can never have too much experience in my opinion.

Specializes in Nurse Educator; Family Nursing.

I was a preceptor for a university program. A student I accepted for the final clinical semester was supposedly an experienced L & D nurse as were the nurses on the unit. The first day in clinical, she did not pick up a complete breech presentation. I ended up delivering a mom because she was breech on the perineum. What I am saying is experience does not guarantee that someone will be excellent snm. The RN's also missed the breech.

Hey! I am kinda new to this thing, but anyway! I am wondering if anyone is currently in or has graduated from Frontier Midwifery School? I am interested in doing the RN-MSN bridge course and then the Womens Health Nurse Practicioner. Any thoughts on that program? Or one that is similar? Thanks!
