  1. Frontier Nursing University CLass 113-115

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

    That's great SnowboardRN! Glad to hear you've got a game plan. Don't give up if midwifery is your calling. :) Good for you Kiddie_Nurse12! And good luck to you too! I was also hoping that the...

  2. Any GEPN Yale CNM out there?

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

    Seriously elkpark? There's no need to be passive aggressive and you don't need to take it personally. I was not making any comments on the value, validity or importance of the nursing profession. I...

  3. Any GEPN Yale CNM out there?

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

    Hi Emily! How funny, I'm also in Boston! I know exactly what you're talking about. While, yes, CNMs are also nurses, the role of a midwife is very different than the role of a nurse or an NP. In...

  4. Frontier CNEP Class 112 or 113

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

    Hey there! I see no one ever answered you. Did you end up applying to 112 or 113? I've just applied to 113. Fingers

  5. Any GEPN Yale CNM out there?

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

    Hi Emkay! I also just applied for a CNM program too! I chose Frontier in the end because everyone has spoken SO highly of it and I really like their emphasis on out if hospital birth. I actually...

  7. Frontier Nursing University CLass 113-115

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

    Thanks for sharing your story Mary! I'm sure you'll get in again as its clear they think you're qualified! I was told by someone in admissions that everyone who scores enough points to "qualify" will...

  9. Labor and Delivery Experience

    midwifetobe85 replied to Babylove2013's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hey there babylove2013! Now, I'm not a midwife yet, so feel free to take this with a grain of salt. I realized my calling to midwifery several years ago and immediately started on the path to CNM. I...

  10. Frontier Nursing University CLass 113-115

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

    Hi Mary C! I applied to CNEP 113 too. I can't believe how long the wait is going to be....if they manage to tell us 8 weeks beforehand it may be as early as March 25th, so fingers crossed it's closer...

  11. aPTT vs PTT values on NCLEX

    midwifetobe85 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi guys! I'm taking the NCLEX RN in a little over a week (yikes!) and I have a question about aPTT and PTT values, and how they appear on the NCLEX. Mosby's Diagnostic Manual explains that they are...

  12. A few questions about applying to Frontier

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

    I asked this same question recently. The woman in admissions clarified that she does not send any of the applications to the application committee until after the deadline. Only at that point do the...

  13. Binghamton Applicants- BAT Fall 2013

    midwifetobe85 replied to eca2493's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey spiritedkidd, I know the post you're referring to. I would say to some degree, what she wrote is true. But, in Binghamton's defense, I think most (if not all) BSN nursing programs are up...

  14. Binghamton Applicants- BAT Fall 2013

    midwifetobe85 replied to eca2493's topic in New York Nursing

    Oh and spiritedkidd - yes it is a Bachelors of Science in Nursing. I would say it prepared me fairly well. It's sort of hard to say though. They required us to sign up for Kaplan's nclex prep program....

  15. Binghamton Applicants- BAT Fall 2013

    midwifetobe85 replied to eca2493's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey cbrubaker05, No problem! I know how invaluable this kind of info can be as a prospective student. Thankfully, there are NO classes on the weekends. It's hard to remember the schedule exactly at...

  16. Binghamton Applicants- BAT Fall 2013

    midwifetobe85 replied to eca2493's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Spiritedkidd - I wouldn't worry about getting an apartment. Like I said nearly all of my classmates rented places in the Bing area and were able to find a place before the start of classes. Many...

  17. Binghamton Applicants- BAT Fall 2013

    midwifetobe85 replied to eca2493's topic in New York Nursing

    I do think there was a range for pre-req GPAs. They seem to weigh each component and not just your grades. If you can articulate yourself well in your essay I think that counts towards a lot. Good...

  18. Binghamton Applicants- BAT Fall 2013

    midwifetobe85 replied to eca2493's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Spiritedkidd! Thanks! It was a long haul, but I'm proud to have made it. I'll do my best to answer your questions. 1.) I got my acceptance letter Feb. 7th. There were students accepted as early...

  19. Midwife, advancing, and worldwide possibilities?

    midwifetobe85 replied to StargazerLily's topic in United Kingdom

    Hi there! So I'm by no means an expert in this area, but ill see if I can help out. A little about me: I recently obtained my BSN and RN and I am an aspiring nurse midwife. I looked into this stuff a...

  20. Working as a midwife in New York State

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

    I have actually heard of a midwife in NY who trained in the UK and then was able to sit for the exam and become a Certified Midwife (she had no nursing background). I think you should contact the AMCB...

  21. Binghamton Applicants- BAT Fall 2013

    midwifetobe85 replied to eca2493's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi everyone! I'm a 2012 BAT graduate and RN. I know what it's like to be in your shoes, so I figured I'd pay it forward. It was a seriously intense year. I'm happy to offer any advice and answer your...

  22. I think I want out, end semester 1

    midwifetobe85 replied to Katyvent7's topic in General Students

    I can completely relate to your situation. I just graduated from an ABSN this past May and felt exactly the same way. I found nursing "theory" along with nursing "diagnoses" absurd and bizarre...

  23. Looking for NEW Feedback on Frontier's Nurse Midwifery Program (CNEP)- Good or Bad!

    midwifetobe85 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Everyone! I know there are a TON of threads on here about Frontier's midwifery program but most of them are pretty old. I'm hoping some current students and maybe recent CNM grads can chime in...

  24. CNM practicing in Massachusetts

    midwifetobe85 replied to bre1's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks for replying! I'd love to chat further but can't PM as I'm a relatively new member. Im struggling between Frontier and Baystate. I was very sad to learn that Baystate has essentially no...

  25. CNM practicing in Massachusetts

    midwifetobe85 replied to bre1's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi Cayenne06! I know this is an old thread, but I think we may be in a similar boat. I've got a few questions I'm hoping that you can answer. Firstly, are you applying to Baystate's program for 2013?...
