  4. New Poster - Midwifery first and Nursing later?

    midwifetobe85 replied to biggolp's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You're welcome! The thing to know about Downstate is that administratively, they're a mess. Good luck getting a polite admissions person who has any idea of what is going on. Also their email...

  5. How long should I expect prereqs to take?

    midwifetobe85 replied to biggolp's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Oh right, of course! You're going for the CM. I don't think it's a big deal to do all online, just preferable w A&P. But I could see how you might be too busy! I highly recommend Cayuga County...

  6. How long should I expect prereqs to take?

    midwifetobe85 replied to biggolp's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi biggolp, I did all those too before I applied to an accelerated BSN. I think it depends on whether it not you'll be working. I was working part time and so averaged two classes a semester and it...

    midwifetobe85 replied to Kiddie_Nurse12's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi Ladies! Nice to meet you both. :) Moasa how cool that you managed to step right into L&D! I would have definitely been open to that but did not have any luck as a new grad and I knew that...

  9. MS in Midwifery wanting a WHNP certification

    midwifetobe85 replied to scottietl's topic in Advanced Practice

    Hi there! Just to be clear, is your degree a masters of science in midwifery or a masters of science in nurse midwifery? I've heard that w the nursing degree you can actually sit for the WHCNP exam in...

  10. Frontier CNEP Class 112 or 113

    midwifetobe85 replied to Kiddie_Nurse12's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hey Moasa! I know, I can't believe we have at least a month still to wait! I'm really hoping that it will be closer to the 25th of March than the 8th of April. I'm recent BSN/RN grad and applying with...

    midwifetobe85 replied to hellosun's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey hellosun, Oh cool! There seem to be a lot of aspiring midwives on here from MA. I'm not originally from here (from upstate NY) and so I'm only somewhat familiar with the local ABSNs. I do know...

  13. CNM or CPM? Opinions/advice??

    midwifetobe85 replied to BrittK's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Ah, yes I think you're right. I misunderstood. That's a really good idea. It definitely doesn't make sense to invest in an expensive MEAC program when your just doing it for your own study....

  15. anyone's response will be useful =)

    midwifetobe85 replied to hellosun's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I realized that I didn't really answer what inspired me to be a midwife. Two things: 1.) I had a couple of midwives speak in my women's studies class about the emotional significance of birth for a...

  16. anyone's response will be useful =)

    midwifetobe85 replied to hellosun's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi hellosun, thanks! And I'm happy to answer your questions! I actually knew I wanted to be a midwife before applying to nursing school. I had already graduated w a BA in French when I realized my...

  17. want to become a cnm

    midwifetobe85 replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey jens4chez! You should definitely look at this thread:https://allnurses.com/certified-nurse-midwives/cnm-cpm-opinions-815553.html I'm originally from upstate NY and I am an aspiring home...

    midwifetobe85 replied to hellosun's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey hellosun! I just graduated from a BSN program and am now applying to midwifery school. Definitely interview and shadow both CNMs and OB nurses, the roles are quite different. Here are a few videos...

  19. Interested in becoming a CNM..many questions!

    midwifetobe85 replied to I<3PedsRN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hey EileenSN! As a fellow aspiring nurse midwife, I thought I'd chime in. Firstly, congrats on nearly being done!! Its a huge accomplishment making it through nursing school. 1.) It's never to late...

  20. Baystate Medical Center Midwifery Program

    midwifetobe85 replied to BrittanyNicole90's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    So true Brittanynicole! Its annoying that there aren't more options in MA. I think Cayenne06 has an excellent point - if you're near the Baystate program (western MA) it could be difficult securing a...

  21. Any GEPN Yale CNM out there?

    midwifetobe85 replied to EmmKay's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    So true trauerweidchen. It is definitely a politically sensitive issue. Here is an interview with a midwife who describes the history of the CM credential. So Long, “Nurse” Midwives? Hilary...

  22. CNM or CPM? Opinions/advice??

    midwifetobe85 replied to BrittK's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi Ladies, Thanks for all your positive comments to my post! Queenanneslace - I completely agree with you. You will NOT be indoctrinated in nursing school if you don't want to be. I went into my ABSN...

  23. Baystate Medical Center Midwifery Program

    midwifetobe85 replied to BrittanyNicole90's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hey there! So I haven't attended this program but ill tell you what I know about it. I attended the information session recently and really loved the director and was also impressed by the sound of...

  24. CNM or CPM? Opinions/advice??

    midwifetobe85 replied to BrittK's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi Ladies! I was exactly where you are now a few years ago. It was SUCH a difficult decision. I went back and forth between the CNM and the CPM. I too feel birth usually belongs out of the hospital -...
