I would take the full-time L and D. You are clearly passionate about perinatal nursing and it will definitely give you good experience for family health, though not so broad. I would advise against doing both PRN or Float Pool nursing right out of school. You want to spend 36 hours a week immersed in patient care right away so you can retain everything you learn. Float Pool nursing is for experienced nurses who have a broad range of skills and are ready to adapt to a different environment every day. For new nurses, routine and repetition is everything! Good luck with the decision!

Does anyone know the tuition for the WHNP/CNM online program? I didn't see it online. Also, for those of you accepted into the program, what was your path there? Were you all L&D nurses? I'm an aspiring midwife and my first job out of school is in the SICU. I'm totally digging all the experience but I wonder if they like you to have clinical experience in obstetrics to get into the program. Thanks a ton! -Swerj
