Hi all! I just received confirmation that I was accepted to class 189. I will be doing the CNM track. So excited and so nervous!

Thank you so much! Good luck to you in your program!

Hey! Did you have your interview? How did it go?

Thank you! Good to know...

I didn't apply yet. I plan to apply in January. Good luck on your interview and let us know how it goes!

Thank you all! I feel better now... I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything!

So, back to my question... Will it make any difference if I am a CNM with an MS in Midwifery vs. an MS in Nursing?

Thanks for taking the time to answer. But I think that's a mistake. The title conferred is DEFINITELY the CNM (accepted in all 50 states). (Though they ALSO take non-nurses and those end up as CM's.) From their website: The M.S. in Midwifery is a distance education program in midwifery for Registered Nurses (RN) and CM Pathway applicants who want to become midwives... The M.S. in Midwifery program integrates online study with hands-on clinical practice... Upon graduation, you will be eligible to sit for the national examination of the American Midwifery Certification Board to earn the credential CNM or CM...

I am looking at getting my graduate degree (for CNM) in PhilaU. They don't award an MSN degree like other colleges. Instead, BSN graduates can take their masters level midwifery course (at the end of which they can sit for the ACMB boards and become CNM's) but they will award a MS in Midwifery and not a Masters in Nursing. I'm not sure what significance this bears for me. Can anyone let me know what this would mean? Would this hinder me in any way? In midwifery? If I ever wanted to continue on to a DNP? If I would ever want to complete any other MSN post-masters program? Thanks in advance for your help!
