I want to become a nurse midwife

[Like2bFrisky]

I have 1 year left until I get my bachelor degree. I want to know how long do I need to work before I can apply to a nurse midwife program, masters degree? I'm from Illinois, so far I've only seen UIC offering the program. Does anyone have any advice for me

I believe Penn accepts new grads?

I wish I could become a midwife. It's not a good schedule for a single mom, though :/

@chris_at_lucas_RN: Can you receive PM?

If not, can you tell me what your experience has been like in Baylor's FNP program? How helpful are the faculty and how diverse are the clinical rotations? Do you have extra clinical hours where you can choose to do more hours in a specialty?

How many years of experience would be considered competitive?

I understand its not a in-state school, what can the tuition be like?

How do you get tuition reimbursement---finding a job at a baylor affiliated hospital or clinic?

Gosh, I saw that and I cannot imagine how anyone could be competent at an independent practice such as midwifery from an online course.....

In answer to the OP question about how long you have to wait after graduating, to my knowledge, all they ask at Baylor is an RN (Texas) and a bachelor's in anything. Doesn't hurt that yours will be in nursing.....
