I have sent everything into the FBON, paid my application fee along time ago and express mailed my transcripts the day after I got them. My question is does anyone have first hand experience with this process in florida? How long did it take to get...

Sherri is excellent. I used some of her stuff when I passed, her and Lynn Fredricks. I took the CPNE in 1/2009. You can do it!!!

I hear this a lot that if someone is pro-direct entry then they must be anti-nursing. Our country is the one of a few that have the nurse-midwife model. I am an RN and currently in a midwifery program (FSMFN) and I did not have L&D experience a...

Yes, I work full-time I hope to cut down to part-time once my husband graduates in August, but it is doable to work fulltime. Your family just has to be supportive, my husband grocery shops and cooks dinner and my daughter does all the after dinner ...

I am in class 71, at first I was told I did not get into that class and I would be wait listed for Class 72. Then 2 weeks before Frontier Bound they sent me an email saying I got into Class 71. It was about 6-8 weeks from the time I submitted my ap...

I am glad we are having this conversation and no one is arguing about the issue. That is good, usually someone assumes someone is taking "this or that" position and totally hijacks the conversation.

That is correct, it is not in any of the curriculum's I know of for CNM's. My cousin is in Medical School and he said the same thing. It is not part of the curriculum, (to actually do one) they do go over care of the status-post abortion female. B...

There is a thread on here about CNM's salaries ect, started by someone that just graduated. Just scroll down and you should find it. The salary thing is difficult to get a handle on. The answer is it really depends.......on what, you ask? Locati...

"The Farm" is in Tennessee, that is where you will find Ina May Gaskin. In Kentucky if where you will Find the Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing. But wow, wouldn't it be great if they were in the same place?? What you are saying about...

I am also SNM, I recommend you go to your local chapter meeting of ACNM, I went to mine shortly after starting school and midwives just came up to me and started offering to help in anyway possible. Good luck!!

Excelsior was fine, that CPNE (clinical test-out) was a beast, but if you go into it like you do not know anything and practice exactly like the study guide said to do it, you were fine. I like Frontier. I am liking it more and more. The first yea...

Frontier is the place to check out! I too was an LPN and then did my RN online through Excelsior. I am in my second year at Frontier. Just like any program it has its good and bad points, but if it was not online I would not be able to do it. Goo...

It varies state by state. It also depends on the physician you are working with. A great resource on something like this is ACNM website, they actually address issues like this in their "Standards for Practice of Midwifery" document. The last sec...

I am currently a student at Frontier, this is my second year. I was a bridge student in 2010. If you are an RN, I do not see why not. There was a student with us that finished his BSN while in the bridge and transitioned into the MSN track. But i...

leablossom, I am an Excelsior graduate. I graduated in April, 2009 applied to Frontier for their Sept class 2009 and was accepted. During my phone interview I was told that my being an "online student" is a strength, considering ...

I am in the process of applying to Frontier and looking for web-buddies that are also in this process. I am applying to the bridge program. Good luck!!! Teresa

Nope, you do not have to have experience as an RN in L&D to get into their CNM program. I passed the NCLEX in May of 2009 and started that November 2009 in the ADN to MSN bridge program. I stayed in the same field I had worked as while being an...

:clpty:Just got off the phone with Frontier, I am ACCEPTED!! I had applied to class 71 in July, I found out I have been deferred till (Class 74) March 2010 due to the large number of applicants. Boy am I glad that is over!!! I am soo tired of wait...

Update: I will be starting at the end of the month Class 71, I got called Monday the 2nd. Whoohoo, don't have to wait till March, PAR-TAY:jester:!! I will be paying for the school with student loans. I am hoping once in the midwifery track, I can g...

Hiya!! I just found out I was accepted to Frontier to become a CNM and I have no L&D experience. I can understand you wanting to get some, because I did too, but I ran into the same problem you did, no one would hire me. I found it harder to g...

I just had my telephone interview this AM, it went well. It was very informative, they use a point system is how it was explained to me, the lady interviewing me told me I was in the higher scoring category, which make me very :yeah:happy!! But you...

My application is almost finished, I had an issue with one of my references getting lost in the mail, and had to replace it. The application deadline is August the 10th. They are no longer accepting application for WHCP or FNP, just the CNM. Misstre...

It depends on which track you want to take. Either Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) or Certified Midwife (CM). The education routes to these are all different so, you would need to decide (with research) which ap...

just fyi: i am posting this as a resource for information, i am an rn that is the process of applying to frontier's cnm program. i am part of the yahoo group american council of certified nurse midwives in florida. i joined as a way to follow the m...
