Hello guys, I know this is sort of personal (and please, nobody answer if you don't want to!!! I don't want to make anyone feel weird and this may be a weird question to ask but I'm really just curious because I want to have a vague idea for myself)...

Thank you for the more current info! :-) I apologize, I did not mean to spark controversy.

Also, do you know if they ever make exceptions to the 1-year L&D work requirement? I'm kind of hoping to go to grad school right away, though it wouldn't be a problem to wait either.

I definitely am interested in info about UIC--I just emailed you :-)

I thought Cytotec was that stuff that is known to have all those awful/potentially fatal side effects and was not certified/legalized/researched for use in laboring women?

Thank you that was really helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

I go to BC undergrad and if you're weighing it against something else --their nursing program (at least their undergrad!) is fantastic! :-) I'm loving it. Plus I mean what's not to love, Boston is wonderful and our hospitals are some of the best i...

About Columbia & Yale -- they say they prefer/require one year obstetric/L&D experience for the midwifery program. Have you found that to be true of the people they accept? I might wait if so but I want to apply right from undergrad. Have ...

OK OK so I KNOW this an individual choice, yadda yadda, but just think--if we all breastfed, soy vs cow's milk formula wouldn't even be an issue!! Yippee!! (Self-confessed breastfeeding Nazi, sorry guys. But at least the WHO and my own state of MA b...
