1. Frontier Midwifery Program

   Rebeccas23 replied to JennyS's topic in CNM

   Frontier may be very easy to get into, but finding midwives in your area who are willing to preceptor you is completely your responsibility (and incredibly difficult!) I've heard of several students having to take semesters off because they simply co...

4. CNM Salaries

   Rebeccas23 replied to DreamerCNM2b's topic in CNM

   Oh my goodness, this makes me so angry! How can CNMs be so poorly compensated for the work they're doing/hours they're putting in/results they're producing? Am I reading that link wrong? How do practicing CNMs feel about their compensation? How much ...

5. How do you get over feeling like you'll pass out

   Rebeccas23 replied to RNtobe17's topic in General Nursing

   I think it's very important to remember that there are TONS of opportunities in nursing, and if nosebleeds or childbirth or surgery aren't your thing, then you can always choose to pursue another direction. Most people want to become nurses because o...

6. Advice for the Student Nurse Midwife

   Rebeccas23 replied to Rebeccas23's topic in CNM

   Thank you CNMBFA! How did you go about managing your time well? Was it a matter of finding balance between study and the clinical hours? Do you have any favorite journals that you keep up with/find particularly relevant to CNMs? Thanks for the tip a...

7. Advice for the Student Nurse Midwife

   Rebeccas23 replied to Rebeccas23's topic in CNM

   Thank you LibraSun, I am lucky that I will not have to work through my program (they pretty much told us to forget about it anyway). You mention your peers "phoning in" the classwork. Was that possible because the class work was easier then the deman...

8. Getting into Georgetown CNM/WHNP Program without experience

   Rebeccas23 replied to TarheelGirlx3's topic in CNM

   Just curious, why don't they accept North Carolina students? Is there something different about the education/clinicals? You mention Vanderbilt also not accepting NC students? I hadn't heard of that before.

    Hello all! After a year of applications, fees, GREs, interviews, waiting, compulsive email checking, prayers, tears, and then happier tears, I was accepted and am finally starting my CNM program this August. Of course, now that there isn't anything m...

    Hi TarHeel, Many programs are open to accepting students wtihout nursing L&D experience because they themselves offer direct entry programs for second degree students who will graduate with a masters degree without any nursing experience. That b...

14. UCSF WHN/CNM or AGNP - I'm Torn

    Rebeccas23 replied to aposseadesse's topic in CNM

    Hi, I don't have an answer to your questions specifically, but I would 1000% encourage you to shadow actual CNMs/WHNPs/AGPCNPs and not make your decision based off the responses you receive here. (Also, do you have volunteer experiences in either are...

15. Vanderbilt MSN 2015

    Rebeccas23 replied to BHART25's topic in School Programs

    Hi Rawz, how long have you been a nurse? It tends to be a rule of thumb that the more experience you have/years working, the less important your GPA is. So, five years of experience will have them glancing over it, and ten years might have them not c...
