futureNCmidwife

I just found out about WSON this week and I'm soo excited, and apprehensive, too because I don't want to get my hopes up. I'm going to be 35 in November and I've wanted to go into nursing for the longest time. I got my degree in teaching and English because I struggled with math & science in school and basically, everyone told me I should be teacher. Yet, every time I'm at a hospital or a loved one is hurt, I feel like I'm in my "zone"! I feel that's where I belong. My ultimate goal is to become a nurse-midwife. So, if anyone has some feedback on Watts, that would be great. I've read the other posts, but I have more questions (which I'll also try to direct to the school). --I see that Anatomy & Phys is the first core subject, but no other sciences after that?? Is this OK? Does it come up as an issue on the NCLEX? Do you just learn the other science material from clinicals? I have always been so fearful of the science aspect (specifically chemistry) but I think if I learn it in a relavant manner, I would be OK. --What is the actual daily schedule like? You do core courses first, and is that at night? I thought I had read that. Then, do you have daytime clinicals or can you choose? I have two small children (which is why I've also waited so long to pursue this) and I'm trying to figure out how they would fit into my schedule. --Does anyone have loans? I don't see that typical financial aid is available (like at a university) and I would need to find a way to get help with the tuition. Any suggestions on that? thanks soo much in advance-:bowingpur :smilecoffeecup:M.
