   fmwf replied to allthemadmen's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

   Frontier, Frontier, Frontier. Not having a BSN will be trumped by having an MSN! Small worry. My friends that did bridge are glad they did....it forced them to move and not quit (I've got a BSN...

   fmwf replied to oldenurselady's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

6. Does it matter that the ACNM does not support DNP requirements?

   fmwf replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

   This is the million dollar question. Feedback indicates that CNMs b/f 2015 will be grandfathered in (as long as they meet the 2010 Masters date). There is word out that there could be a DM (Doctor...
