Thanks again TLAandy! I appreciate all of your input. I am single mom of a 4 year old and I am planning on continuing to homeschool him. Luckily, my mom watches him when I need to study or work/volunteer...which is often..but it helps. I am so excited to know that someone has actually gone through Excelsior and has gotten accepted to Frontier. It is a huge relief...seriously. Good luck to you!

Thanks again! I appreciate the tip on the CPNE. Glad to hear Frontier is good...I really want to go through their program. Wow! You work full-time too? That's awesome!

Thank you TLAandy! Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for because Frontier is the school that I want to ultimately go to as well. It's basically the only way that I can pursue this career. How do you like Frontier? How was Excelsior?

Hey Everyone, I am curious to get feedback from anyone who completed a distance ABSN program and was then accepted into a CNM program (on-site or distance). I reside in Hawaii and want to become a CNM and possibly FNP, however, nursing programs are limited here (especially accelerated) so I would like to know how likely it would be for me to complete a distance ABSN and then get accepted into a MSN program. I would assume that it doesn't matter if your BSN education was completed distance or on-site...but not sure. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ok so I am not a midwife, but I am a doula and midwife assistant (home births) for now and will be going to midwifery school soon. Hope you don't mind me adding some advice here. I think the best thing that I have done is to have family/friends on call for childcare....while that isn't always possible...I have made it a point to become friends with other doulas, midwives and assistants that also have children. We casually rotate child care. It works out perfectly because we don't pay for care because we just trade off and it so much easier to be able to call someone in the middle of the night for childcare when they are familiar with the crazy schedule. Yes, it can get tricky sometimes because everyone is on call, but most of the time we keep each other aware of due dates and as soon as there is some signs of labor we call around to see who isn't at a birth and able to watch kids if need be. Hope that helps a bit.
