CNM program requirements

Published

Couple questions: are there programs that will take you without L & D experience? I have been doing med/Surg and am currently doing RN-BSN. I don't really want to do l &d in a hospital and am currently applying at several FSBC's. Just wondered if there are programs that would be OK with this?

There are plenty of programs that are OK with this---in fact, I'd guess off the top of my head that *most* programs don't require L&D nursing experience. There are tons of programs now that take people straight through their BSN-MSN, so they're becoming midwives without any previous bedside nursing experience at all.  You will be fine!
