Hello, I would love to be interviewed. BSN in 1991 from University of South Alabama. Let me know

Hi, If becoming a midwife is your dream, I suggest that you start working labor and delivery. Before your interview read and study the following books: a good OB textbook, EFM, and NRP. These are your basics. Working med/surg is a good place to work also if you can't get a L&D job right away. I worked med/surg and PACU for 11 years before I transferred to L&D and I still use those skills on a daily basis. (10 years now L&D RN) I work 12 hour day shifts and get all the work I want. I circulate in the OR for c-sections and PACU to recovery mom and baby. I am OB, NRP and ACLS certified. Enjoy your journey.

Hello, You are definitly not too old to do any of those things. My advice is to interview some nurses and find out if nursing is what you what to do. College to become a nurse is a very busy program that requires organization and committment. Go see a counsler at your local college, they can be very helpful. And don't forget more studennt loans to pay for your college. Enjoy the journey and I hope you find out what is right for you.
