Acc BSN with MSN in mind

[sophianichole]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here so my apologies for any ignorance on the subject or if this is in the wrong thread/spot.

I don't have a BSN, but I do have a BA in Psychology, so that's why I'm looking at accelerated programs. My ultimate goal at this point would probably be to become a Nurse Midwife.

I've looked around and not a lot of places offer accelerated MSN for Nurse Midwifery, so I'm thinking I'd probably do an accelerated BSN and then apply for a normal MSN in Nurse Midwifery. Another issue here is I don't want to spend a lot of money and would prefer a program around Los Angeles, CA. I can't apply this year because I have about 3 more pre-reqs to finish...but ideally I want to do this asap.

Im looking around at the list of accelerated programs but I just wanted to know your advice on the best/most affordable programs as well as what you know/think about being a nurse midwife? I love working with pregnant women and children and think that's why this would be a great job for me. What do you guys think and know about these topics?

Thanks in advance for all your support and help!!
