1. CNM Midwifery Preceptor

   Lessbull replied to BooBooCrew's topic in CNM

   Hi NurseSears! May I ask where you are located and what school you're going to? Finding preceptors as a midwifery student is hard for everyone ? I graduated from TTUHSC last fall and every single classmate of mine had difficulty, but we were all even...

2. Texas Tech

   Lessbull replied to Lessbull's topic in CNM

   You take 2 classes per semester (6, sometimes 8 credit hours) so yes, it's part time. The coursework is all online, but you do have to travel to Lubbock for orientation and a few times for check offs. I went for a one day orientation my first semeste...

   I do like it so far! It's been a good program. I'm in my third semester now. I only work part time currently (2 twelves per week plus 16 hours of call every month), but if my husband's schedule (and daycare) weren't so hard to work around I could pro...

   You find your own, but I like it that way :) They have a spreadsheet that lists all of the preceptors/facilities that have accepted their students in the past, so you can contact the ones in your area if you don't know any.

   Hi noodlemoore! I just got accepted into the Nurse Midwifery tract and start in January! I know its not FNP, but my first two classes are Health Policy & Research. Just wondering if I really need the "required" books, or if you had a favorite pro...

8. CNM Scholarship, HRSA, Georgetown, Frontier

   Lessbull replied to Doulasana's topic in CNM

   Also adding: The scores are determined by facility, not by county, which is probably why you couldn't find one. And if you DO decide to apply for the scholarship, definitely apply for the loan repayment, not the scholarship. There are MANY more job o...

9. CNM Scholarship, HRSA, Georgetown, Frontier

   Lessbull replied to Doulasana's topic in CNM

   I'm starting CNM school online at Texas Tech in January, and while I can't speak to the CNM side of the HSC scholarship, my husband received it as a Physician Assistant. We relocated to Oklahoma to fulfill his scholarship requirements, and while it h...

    I know it's been a year since you posted, but did you find someone? Dawn Karlin has a stand alone birthing center in Weatherford, OK and also does home births anywhere from OKC to Western Oklahoma. You might try her. momentsofblissmidwifery.com
