CNM2B

Congrats everyone! Frontier Bound is amazing! Enjoy!

Yes, the roll call is for current students. We have to check in to each course within the first 2 days of each term.

Hi everyone! I'm a current Frontier student and thought I'd hop in and say hi. Don't stress--I remember when I was accepted that we didn't find out until exactly 6 weeks before Frontier Bound. Hang in there! It's worth the wait!

I'm also a Frontier student and can't speak highly enough about it! As a pp stated, the history and tradition are unmatched. You truly feel like you are joining a family when you come to Frontier. I know that the campus visits seem daunting, but they...

Hi All! It's been a quiet thread lately, so I thought I'd bump us up to the top again! How is everyone doing? I'm still working on my MS in nursing (Nurse-Midwifery), but have definitely found my passion in research. I've been invited to be a rese...

I work for Ohio Health, and I'm pretty sure that the starting hourly rate is $23.21 (that could be off by a few cents, but that's pretty close). Shift differential is $4.75 and weekend differential is also $4.75. Hope that helps!

Hi Everyone! I have been reading this thread with interest and thought I'd drop in and say hello. I'm currently an MSN student working to become a CNM/WHNP. I also work part-time as an L&D nurse. The last few months at work and school, I've ...

So far in my experience working in L&D, those restrictions are really only applied to women who are receiving interventions in their labor (or having an issue with fetal heart tones). A healthy woman who is in spontaneous labor without medication...

Now THAT is very true. I find myself in the minority a lot of the time and do have moments where I am appalled/shocked/stunned/saddened at some of the routines on a L&D unit. I try to extrapolate the good stuff and remember the bad for when I'm...

I agree with you and believe that everyone who becomes a CNM with some sort of life-experience (which we all have!) brings something valuable to the table. However, I do have to say that experience as an L&D nurse (or any type of nurse, for that ...

I'm very excited for you! I can't directly speak to the demand for male CNM's, but I can put you in touch with someone who might offer perspective? Ohio State's Nurse-Midwifery program is chaired by a man, and he's doing great things with the progr...

You will definitely need to refer back to statistics while in grad school. You'll take a research course and a theory course at the minimum, and I've used my stats in a few other graduate level courses as well. Basic statistics like p-values and t-...

Are you planning to apply to a graduate entry program (an MS in nursing with a specialization in midwifery for non-nurses with a BA or BS in a non-nursing field), or get your RN and then apply to a CNM program? From what I understand, prior birth ex...

I don't have specific experience with Vanderbilt's program, but I do know that the ACNM (American College of Nurse-Midwives), which is the accrediting body for CNM programs is very strict regarding academic standards for their programs. So, Vanderbi...

Yes, you can be admitted with less than a 3.0, but you must maintain a 3.0 to stay in school.

Just as an FYI--the 3.0 requirement is standard minimum grade for all graduate schools (including Frontier).

I am a Frontier CNEP student. I know that there is a woman in my class who is a practicing FNP. She said that the transition into the program was seemless and I believe it is taking her less than 2 years to finish. I hope that helps a little! I'm...

I second that! I am 37 and have just completed my first year of the program! I have one child and work part-time. I am a part-time student in the program and find it manageable. Not easy, but manageable! There are quite a few students older and ...

CNEP at Frontier stands for "Community Based Nurse-Midwifery Education Program". It is the nurse-midwifery track at Frontier and one of the three tracks available there (they also offer FNP and WHNP--Women's Healthcare Nurse Practitioner). If you a...

I am a student at Frontier, and while they don't allow you to do a "dual" degree, I'm told it is a pretty seamless transition for nurse-midwifery students to complete the WHNP program. I am told that it is one extra class and clinical hours that can...

I am a part-time Frontier student, work 12 or 24 hours per week on night shift and am a stay-at-home Mom to a 2.5 year old. I'd say it CAN be done, with some concessions. You will have to decide early on that you just can't "do it all" for awhile. My...

:chuckle :chuckleNot trying to be disrespectful to the earlier poster, but this is too funny to pass up!

My only advice is to relax, read some books for fun and take a vacation. Once school starts, you won't be doing any more pleasure reading and the stress level goes up a bit. You can still take vacations (I'm leaving tomorrow!! ) but will be taking ...

Congrats everyone that has been accepted! Welcome to the Frontier family! It's a great place to be and the one thing they will keep saying to you (and I believe it to be true!), is that no one comes to Frontier by accident. You're in for quite a jour...

I'm not applying for Class 71 (I'm a member of Class 64), but just wanted to drop by and say good luck to you! It's a great experience and you won't forget it! I can't believe I'm already done with 2 terms and ready to start my 3rd. Feel free to PM...
