Hi! Well, actually, not well at all. I had a bad experience with an instructor. Some instructors just aren't meant for every student and that okay. Unfortunately, the experience drove me away from the field entirely. It really is unfortunate because...

Your experience is great! I can't tell you for sure that you'll get accepted of course, but from the sounds of it, I think you have a good chance. Since I attend UNMC, I know a bit more about their admissions process than the other schools. From what...

I was accepted to all three. I had a pre-req GPA of 3.6 plus 2 years of volunteer work at The Med Center. I wouldn't recommend Methodist for transfer students. Not that it's a bad school, it's just that the curriculum isn't set up for transfer studen...
Thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate all your help! I'll definitely look into all your suggestions. I agree, it would be difficult to do doula work during nursing school. I wonder what I could find to do over the summer. But, good news, I ...
I think my wordage was unclear. Essentially, my goal is to get my masters in science of nursing with a concentration in midwifery, achieving my certification in nurse midwifery. This is what I meant. I too believe that direct entry midwifery is a fri...
Yes, you're right. I suppose, I meant to say that to become a midwife, in my state you must become a CNM by obtaining a master's degree at minimum. Although, some other states require much less to become a midwife (not CNM). The reason I mentioned th...
Hello all, I'm just beginning to wrap up my first semester of nursing school. I'm so blessed to have found my calling! It's been a wonderful, albeit stressful lol, ride. The main reason I decided to go to nursing school, was to become a midwife. In ...

Congrats! :) if you have the time, get your CNA if you haven't already. Not the biggest deal but it does help. A lot of people recommend that you relax and take it easy before you start and that's great advice, but I also suggest you brush up on A&am...

Yes! All the students in my class that's didn't get their CNA, now wish they had! It really helps because while everyone else is still stumbling over the basics, you can study and work on the more difficult material. Same goes with studying. Everyone...
Hell... My first 3 weeks were hell. I cried, had panic attacks and wanted to quit nearly every single day. But it gradually got better and better. Now, 7 weeks in, I've finally got into a routine and I can actually say I love it so far. I hope it get...

Ummm well... I think I had something like 65 credits or so. I can't remember exactly. When I officially submitted my application (January 2014), the last class I needed was statistics. You have to have completed so many credit hours in order to apply...

So far, it hasn't been terribly difficult. Yes, it's VERY overwhelming. I'm not gonna lie about that. But I think that comes with any nursing school. I love my school and my teachers. They're all very supportive, encouraging and understanding. My fir...
