Best CNM program?

Hey all,

I'm new to this forum and am currently a student in my first semester of a second-degree BSN program. I got into nursing because I want to become a CNM and hopefully work in a birth center or with home births. I've got a few years before I'll be starting a program, but I'd like your opinions for the best one to choose if I have in interest in this setting. I've been researching UPenn and Frontier primarily, but I'd love to hear any and all opinions!

Thanks!

PS-Congrats to all who recently posted that they've been accepted to programs. I can't wait to be in your shoes!

kaceface,

Hello, look into the programs and find out what their focus is on. I have a few friends that have gone to the brick and mortar school associated with a hospital and they are getting a very medical based training, not much support for out of hospital births. I also have friends who are attending or who have graduated from Frontier and they feel they have received a great education. One of the good things about Frontier, if you want to attend out of hospital births is you get to do a project of starting a birth center. There are lots of great schools out there, look around and find one that will help you in your mission.

Thats one of the main reasons I chose Frontier because the program equips you with the necessary skills and tool to becoming an independent provider and opening up your own birthing center which is my ultimate goal:)

I have a question for anyone who has gone through the Frontier or UCinn programs...Were you able to work while completing your clinical or was that just not feasible?
