http://nursingonline.uc.edu/tuition/ I do not have nursing experience, but am a CPM and have that as experience. The admission advisor kept getting that confused with doula and it sounded like that was even enough, and something she was familiar wit...
The first quarter was tough! One class took all I had and the other they designed to be fairly easy. So they know it is hard. I do work, am continuing my home birth practice, so I have some scheduling flexibility. When I am not working, I am doin...
I am an alumni of Univ of Co having gone for the traditional BSN. I am confused, are you still needing to do the RN-BSN? U of C has that and some of those students were with us in class. I found classes that required showing up sometimes easier than ...
In some ways it is not. There is knowledge to be learned and clinical skills to be learned. But, most CPMs do not do typical school. Even the CPM schools are different from traditional schooling. Is it as rigorous as getting a BSN and a MSN? Of ...
I don't think that is what is happening here. I think the OP was confusing CM and LM and saying that the LM is trained differently as a CNM as we all know is true. then the multiple cutting and pasting is just confusing the issue more. Since we ha...
It is just so hard to get all of those letters clear. Non nurse midwives in NM are known as LM. If they license the CM (those that take the same test as ACNM) then that will need to be investigated further. Again, the school posted is for gaining ...
This program helps you get a CPM (narm.org) not a CM. Then you could be licensed in NM as a LM (I think that is the license) and not a CNM or CM. I do know a few who have gone through the program. I guess is just depends on your career goals. It ...
Good point. What I don't like about the term (and I did catch that you said lay or CPM) lay is that in the past it was assumed that non-nurse midwives were completely untrained. Sometime we get a bit touchy.
I am a CPM, RM and will be finishing the BSN program December of 2009. My plan is to enter a CNM program as soon as possible. I think you can make a living being a CPM and do good work- it makes a great second income for a family. But, it is more ...

As a DEM I am self employed so I can't think of it as "salary" It is going to be very dependent on where you live and how busy you are. No way to predict. After two full years as a midwife, I am doing pretty well where I live.
Hi, I am also a CPM (2 years) and am in nursing school right now for some of the reasons that you state here. When I started my CPM training I thought that would be enough for me and my family. Things changed over time and now I feel the pressure t...
Yes, frectis (my IRL friend) that is what I meant, the "real" college course work should count, but check those time limits! I barely skated in on >20 year old psych and soc classes. Unfortunately, the MEAC school courses probably won't count f...
I am a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife) and now in nursing school (bsn program.) I took classes at the community college during my CPM training years that applied to the BSN. But, none of my apprenticeship hours apply directly for credit and I ...

It is a waitlist for the year only. I received the same letter last year and accepted it. After the initial acceptance period, I moved up the line and was offered a spot in May. I chose the Jan 2008 start, but was given the choice of beginning sum...

I don't have an answer, except that I am starting UCHSC in Jan 08 (trad) also and am planning on taking the lab after class on Monday or after Pharm on Wed. I will be driving in from Greeley and want to reduce the trips when possible. Looking forwar...
