1. Accepted to OHSU??

   aspiring.midwife replied to OntheHorizon's topic in General Students

   Hi Steph :) Were you the one who said you'd been a birth doula at OHSU? I wanted to ask you about that, actually. I didn't realize OHSU hired doulas. I'm the one who said I'd been to Guatemala and hope to return. I bought my books and got my ID t...

2. Accepted to OHSU??

   aspiring.midwife replied to OntheHorizon's topic in General Students

   Hey Onthe Horizon! Have you received any info from OHSU beyond the initial packet of stuff that had to be sent in by May 1st? (such as anything about supplies or schedules or anything?) I haven't, and am hoping it arrives soon. Have you already visi...

3. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

   aspiring.midwife replied to weezbug123's topic in Post Graduate

   I was accepted! I got an email from Chris Ocampo at 7pm. I don't yet if I'll be going to UIC or OHSU (in Portland). rnewhouse1, I'm really sorry to hear that you didn't get in. I hope your Marquette experience is excellent. I've heard good things ...

   Likewise. Also, does anyone know if we'll be notified by email or postal mail? I'd been assuming email, but realized that I didn't actually ask about that at my interview. Thanks!

   aspiring.midwife replied to weezbug123's topic in Post Graduate

   rnewhouse1, I feel your pain, as I'm in a similar situation for OHSU - though their program doesn't start until June 12th, so I have a little longer to find housing and everything if I don't get into UIC. And my husband continues to look for jobs in...

6. A thread for those awaiting decisions...

   aspiring.midwife replied to Sarah7781's topic in Post Graduate

   ice chick, I'm sorry to hear you're on the wait list at UIC (though the wait list is better than nothing). I applied to UIC this year and haven't heard back yet. I was on their wait list last year. They told me that being on the wait list is an acco...

   redchicago, I applied last year and this year. I haven't found out yet if I've been accepted this year. Last year I was waitlisted. When I called the admissions office last year to ask how I could improve my application, they told me two things: fi...

   aspiring.midwife replied to weezbug123's topic in Post Graduate

   The interviewer had a sheet which had around 5 questions on it (I think). It was things like why I chose to make a career change into midwifery, how my previous experience prepared me for a future career in nurse midwifery, what kind of support I hav...

   I had my interview for the CNM specialty this morning. I felt it went really well. The interviewer was extremely nice and helpful, and I thought the questions were pretty straight forward. The interviewer said that they would send out decisions in ...

    I live in Aurora. If I get in and decide to accept at UIC, we might move into the city, which would be awesome.

    aspiring.midwife replied to weezbug123's topic in Post Graduate

    Last year when I was invited to interview, the initial invitation email was sent to 20 people from "the NMW-WHNP faculty" - I'm not sure if that meant they interviewed 20 people for midwifery and women's health, or just midwifery. Admissions last y...

15. Best CNM programs for home birth midwives?

    aspiring.midwife replied to aspiring.midwife's topic in CNM

    Thanks to all who have commented. I'd love any continued insight! My top choice at this point is OHSU. If that doesn't work out, I may do the traditional BSN route, and then go to Frontier. Where I end up will also depend on my husband's job option...
