1. DOULA TO L&D NURSE

   biggolp replied to Ehoughton12's topic in Ob/Gyn

   As a fellow new grad, a current doula and an aspiring midwife, I believe that Frontier will allow you to use doula experience in lieu of the one year of L&D experience. You might want to look into that. Good luck!

2. Certified Midwife Path

   biggolp replied to Gwenivere's topic in CNM

7. Attending births with a CPM

   biggolp replied to biggolp's topic in CNM

   Thanks for your response cayenne06! I really appreciate your input. When choosing my route to midwifery, I specifically chose to become a CNM for some of those reasons. However, my heart lies in homebirth and I would love to see some of that up close...

   biggolp posted a topic in CNM

   I am graduating with my BSN next month (yay!) and I was thinking of assisting a CPM to gain experience with homebirths. Someone mentioned to me that it might not be a good idea because if there's a negative outcome I would be held responsible since I...

   Yes. I got an answer from Admissions at FNU that they require transcripts from nursing school in their application process so there's a minimum wait of a few weeks after completing the BSN required in order to apply

11. question regarding applying to Frontier

    Thanks for the reply. I have read their admission criteria. Other birth related experience can be counted instead. I have been a birth doula and assistant midwife for some years now. I would use that experience in lieu of nursing experience.

15. Death of infant born at freestanding birth center deemed a homicide

    biggolp replied to queenanneslace's topic in CNM

    Thank you for your clarifications! I also looked into that birth center and read a lot from the other midwife you provided a link for. It's really scary! But, the FSBC I worked at was NOTHING like that! It's run by CNM's who have worked for many year...
