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 already so lemme just call it quits....I'm feeling la...

Dear oldenurselady, I've been told that people don't get old, clothes do! Do you really think you'll be 50 before you get out of school? Nah. You will be late 40s. Know some great CNMs who started at 50. That is historically how many midwives sta...

I really do appreciate the balance that starryeyed brings to this question that many ask. Some are very adamant about this, I can understand what the emotional value could be for a preceptor who has the task of bringing someone along who has had no ...

"Don't confront her. If you're with her alone she'll probably say you touched her or something. As soon as you find a new job, quit this one. Don't give them two weeks, just quit. Normally I'd never recommend that, but they're obviously looking to f...

Do it do it do it do it! Start tonight! Do it! Hugs! That is Horrible, Yucky tears and shake that off. Well can we just say forget them? Can we say that? Frontier is about serendipity they say! Do apply! I am accepted for the 70 CNEP (midwi...

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 of Midwifery) in the works. The best article I co...

StaRNew...congrats! Whew glad for the happy ending for you!! That must feel like winning the jackpot! I am 50/50 for flying or driving....I live in NC. I heard that the drive is a tough one though....Where do we have to fly in again? fmwf

Sorry, I imagined that I replied to this...the phone interview was after I got my app in (1 week). It lasted 20 minutes...and it was relatively easy to prepare for! My background is Maternal Child (inc L&D) & Women's Health. Have you appli...

Hi everybody, Kudos to all who are in! Hugs to all in waiting! Haven't really been posting alot (planting season) but....I was just accepted to the CNEP Class 70! did apply for 69 but 70 is great for me personally for work (school gig starts August...

Update: I did have my interview for Phila U. on 06/04. It lasted quite a while--as it was thorough. I did learn that this program is designed to specialize in nurturing/mentoring students with "Midwife Tutors" and "Mentors". The program has a goal f...

thanks for that bit of info....i did not know, thanks for helping the existential and aspiring midwife. as an aspriing midwife, i appreciate mentors and preceptors alike and glean whatever i can from them. hopefully as i move through my cnm curricu...

One thing I have learned about performing is to think less (or not) about your self/ego and more about doing the right thing and doing the thing right. And breathe! fmwf

People are dynamic. They do change and "improve". They can also be influenced. By mass media, by market and by you . At the turn of a dime, a woman who has never even heard of a midwife can decide [informed by intuition] that she should be giving bir...

Just wanted to post that moving through fear is the lesson of labor--by extension being "born" as a midwife. Some birthing techniques that address fear have their application for life. One is in the book "Birthing from Within". Some people who are fa...

Hi, I just got my app in...I have not had my phone interview yet. Do I call to schedule it? How soon will I get it? Hope I get in for 69! fmwf

I agree 100%. I started my old regimen of cod liver oil first thing, eating lots of fruits and veggies and I am good finally!

Quick naive question...is it within the scope of practice to care for women with these health issues as a midwife (CNM) I kinda don't remember anymore... anybody? fmwf

Could it be somethings else/too/in addition...EBV...Candida...? Might be way off, but I was there too, had to find a good family physician who really got to the bottom of it. I made some simple dietary changes too! But that was the way for the fir...

This conversation is so honest. I thought I was the only one. I became a nurse only b/c of midwifery. However I could not land an L&D position for where I live. Everyone who knows me says I would make a great CNM, however floor nursing is not...

I have same experience in applying to Phila U as well. They are personable and professional and helpful and I will say...warm! Trying to find a preceptor/site now; my sure thing had to move away. Most places nearby here do not allow SCNMs. I may ...

Wow, you all really came through for me. I really appreciate it. I am packing now to go for Wednesday. I will post on how it goes! Thanks! fmwf

Hello all! Can anyone tell me about Hillcrest's hospital's L&D? Is it LDRP/LDR? What's the culture like at HH? My sister works at the main campus. I am thinking of returning to Cleveland. (In Baltimore now). I have an interview/share day . They s...

Sweet. Your reply is right on time...thanks a million. My interview is next week. Nursing is a journey and a lesson with more to offer for self development than ahem...the group (aka:the pack). What is their orientation like (how long) for the new nu...

New to this forum, hi all. Would anybody mind giving me feedback about securing a new grad type of internship in my situation...(I have looked for some similar threads so lemme know.) Graduated May 06 from UMB/BSN. Secured a "job" with one of the lar...

Thanks Miss JKm! Guess what? I did just that...I went to a job fair at my University. When I got a call back I said "I am looking for an internship in the "new grad" context. "No, no...you worked b/f?" No. I said, " Well let me tell you why." I never...
