I am finishing up my application for Frontier's next class for nurse midwifery. Frontier is very competitive, so I'm nervous. I also plan to apply to Bethel's midwifery program.
-My undergraduate GPA for my BSN is 3.5. My graduate GPA is 3.8. I tried to do better in my BSN program, but as a parent that went through a divorce during the program while working part-time, I could only do so much! I was pretty young, too.
-L&D nurse for 3.5 years
-OB/GYN clinic nurse. There are MD's, DO's, and CNM's in the office
-I have extra responsibilities at my current job, and I plan to become a lactation champion. Hopefully I will get my CLC this next year.
-I don't currently volunteer, unfortunately.
What else can I do to become a good applicant if I don't get in first round? I appreciate all the help! I really want to get accepted.
How did it go and how long after interview did you receive your letter? Did you also get accepted to Bethel? If so, and you chose Bethel, what made you choose Bethel over Geogetown not considering the cost but the program overall?
I'm not sure but I have an interview that same day. It's for central time right?
Melony,
After my application was complete for Georgetown, it took maybe 2-3 weeks to receive acceptance. The interview was 5 questions, pretty straight forward and casual. I expected it to be more intense but it was pretty easy and I really like Georgetown's program but without taking out an enormous loan I don't know how I can afford it. I am participating in a financial aid seminar tomorrow to look at my options and will decide soon.
As far as Bethel goes, I have not been accepted yet. My interview is mid-April. From the most recent emails, I am getting the impression they are not finding our clinical sites anymore which is a big factor for me. I've asked that question several times over the past year I've been in communication with them and they've always told me yes, so this is making me question the program more and can't say that I will jump at an acceptance there as quick as I thought I would have. So, as of right now, I am a bit torn.

What!!! I didn't know they aren't going to help out with finding clinical sites for us anymore! That's a huge deterrent for me especially if they still won't let me find someone in my home state California.

Did you get the "checklist" to fill out before the interview? It says on there that they want to "involve us" in locating preceptors. We'll, I think I know what that means...I'm sure Covid has made things hard but it does concern me that that has now all of a sudden changed. I'm going to question it at the interview.

Hmmmm I saw that but I guess I interpreted as they will still provide locations for us to do our clinical in addition to if you wanted to find our own could as well.

OK, I hope you're right! We'll find out soon enough.
just an update on me. I had my interview on April 16th. it went really well. they asked normal interview questions nothing about midwifery or L&D related. I feel like I'll get accepted based off the vibes I got but we'll see. they said they would let us know by now but LOL maybe im too anxious.
anyone else heard back from them yet?

by nothing I mean like those question scenario. they did ask why midwifery and what my expectations are regarding what a midwife is. but nothing about "what would you do in this scenario".
