Hi OkieNp! I did for a few sessions. It was very tough! I ended up doing a lot of work after bedtime, or while my husband watched the kids. It was very labor intensive, and I am not doing it any more.

Hi all- I am a FNP with my MSN looking to start teaching some online courses, perhaps undergrad, maybe grad, at my alma mater. I started looking at this option as I have a 2.5 yr old and a new son on the way, due in about 5 weeks. I would love to ...

Has anyone here attended school at either University of MN or University of South Alabama? They both offer a combined DNP with WHNP, which just might entice me to go back for the doctorate. Alternatively, does anyone know of other combined DNP/WHNP ...

To clarify- A DNP is a degree, it's only been very recently that certain universities is co-mingling specialized studies as a part of the actual DNP, verses combining a post- Master's certificate with the DNP coursework.

I'm still looking for options... I think that U of MN's program looks amazing, but it requires a bit more on campus time per semester than I can likely handle, being in CT with two small children. I'm also very interested in Frontier. Am I missing...

Wow! That IS Inspiring, Adg! I have two children, 3.5 & 11 months, and I'm wishing to get a postmasters certificate in Midwifery with the DNP.

So excited for you all! I have wanted to go to Frontier since 2003; got my RN in 2002 and relocated to CT from MI in 2004- worked in a high risk L&D and fell out of my passion due to the surroundings of Med-wives and high intervention that bumm...

Hi all- So this is a topic near and dear to me. I became a RN with the goal of becoming a CNM (back in 2002) and once I relocated to CT with my hubby changed my plans to becoming a FNP, which I did in 2008. I am pregnant with my second child who is...

Allo all-- I have been torn on this topic for some time now- and I really would like to talk and get some input regarding FNP's whp practice in women's health. I have thought long and hard over this and get much diversified info from various sources-...

Good morning, I was in your wxact same boat dear. I ultimately became a FNP, and Am actually interviewing for an OBGYN position in 2 days. You are wise to understand that a FNP brings you more prospects in the job market, as you can work in many ot...

ARGH! Isnt anyone else completely aggravated with the consumer directed advertising from the pharmaceutical companies?? I just saw a commercial for "Heavy Monthly Bleeding" with the advice to go to their website lighterperiod.com for more info, and...

Wow-- really?? No one else is as motivated by this as I am to at least discuss it??

I am not seeing where it is catered to midwifery vs a standard DNP in particular... am i missing something?

Yes-- I actually just emailed Sharon at Frontier to see if there was a way to combine the DNP and the post masters cert in midwifery-- i am a FNP already, and think that if I am to return to school for midwifery ( which I really want to do! ) I also ...

Sorry to be persistent, but I am not willing to accept that theory. I think they are/their methods are despicable and I'd like to hear from other who feel the same. Thank you!

Given that fact that up until recently NP's couldnt sign for samples in office from pharm companies, and many dr's tend to really seem to work well with the pharm companies: speaking for honorariums, trips, and all the perks that many received and ha...

This looks awesome too! http://www.midwiferytoday.com/conferences/Eugene2011/Eugene11program.pdf

Oh that sounds so fun! Raincheck? :)

Hi! Probably not this year, but i'd love to some year soon. Where is it this year?

Oh no kiddin'! I'm from SE MI originally, and spoke with them years ago before we moved to CT. I wish you all the best!

heh, I know, slly :) where at?

Yay! Congrats!! Where are you studying?

hmmm-- well, its all a part of the same process, and no matter what type of midwife you want to be (home birth practice, hospital or birthing center) being exposed to as many laboring women, their partners/ support systems, and yes, even the nastines...

The Midwife was pretty good, interesting... But I am working in community health right now and I needed the leave from that, so I haven't finished the book yet. It's really cool reading different midwives ezperiences!

Absolutely! It's a phenomenal read! Also great reads are: Lady's Hands, Lion's Heart: A Midwife's Saga, by Carol Leonard and Diary of a Midwife, by Juliana van Olphen-Fehr. HIGHLY recommended!
