   midwyf replied to TLAandy's topic in CNM

   I think that if you are applying for the CNM program at FSMFN, your application would be stronger if you have some L + D experience or at least some nursing experience working with women during the pregnancy/birthing period.

   midwyf replied to ruralnurs's topic in CNM

   Frontier says you should budget at least 40 hours per week if you are going to do the program full-time and 30 hours per week if you are going to do it part-time. It really does take at least that much time. Lot's of Frontier students work full-time,...

    THis does happen at Frontier but not at Frontier Bound. Frontier Bound is the orientation session that lasts 4 days. Then you do course work for 12-18 months (depending if you are full-time or part-time) and then you come to campus for an 8 day skill...
