I sent off my application yesterday and paid the fee. Now it is waiting time! Yikes, it makes one soo nervous. Who else is waiting for acceptance to class 148 for the CNM program?
I am an ICU nurse, but with a passion in childbirth. I am a birth doula, and will be shadowing two CNMs within the next month, to make sure becoming a CNM is what I really want to do. One in a birth center and the other in the office (won't allow to ...
I have been orientating for seven weeks in L&D now. I have come to realize that it is not what I want to do and would like to go back to ICU and let those that really want to do L&D, have a chance. I am still in my orientation! Do I still ha...

Jeanster, I had always wanted to work in L&D, even before starting nursing school. Then when I had my interviews for L&D it just didn't work, they didn't want me. I started in ICU and learned SO much, I am kinda glad I did. You could start Me...
I graduated in Dec 2010 and went straight to ICU, even though I have been wanting to work in L&D. It is very hard to get into L&D and I am so excited to say that I was offered a position in L&D yesterday and at the hospital I really like....
