hi everyone, i want to eventually become a CNM eventually after all of my schooling. i haven't taken any college classes ever, and have not decided which college i am going to attend, but i was wondering what prereqs will i need to take before i can actually get my bachelors of science in nursing, or just my bachelors in nursing? i will be seeing a counselor in a few weeks at the local comm. college where i live, so i was hoping to get a feel here first for what i will be enrolling in. will i be taking regular math & english classes for prereqs? if my prereqs are like those, i will most likely take those online from our comm college and then go to a university/college for my nursing degree. im just a little confused on prereqs and classes and what not! will my classes such as anatomy and physiology & those other classes be taken while i am at a university for my nursing degree? or do i take those as prereqs? anything would help! thank you so much :)

hi everyone :) i'm 20 yrs old and now know what i want to do with my life. obviously being on the CNM forum, i want to become a certified nurse-midwife. i have so many questions and am not sure of everything that i need to accomplish in order to be a CNM. i've done research online but every site ends up being different and saying differently than the others. i am certain this is what i want to do, and know that schooling will be long and plenty stressful, but i know i am up for it! i have no prior college experience, and i haven't decided which school to attend, but i would like to have a better understanding of what i need to do and which path i need to take. i also need to definitely look into scholarships, grants, and/or financial aid. so if you have any advice there also, that would help a lot! i know i need to be a registered nurse, and have a bachelors in nursing, or bachelors of science in nursing? does it matter which, or what do you prefer or which do you have your bachelors in? what are all of the duties of nurse mid-wiving? anything would help, thanks so much!
