MidwifeAPRN219 MSN, RN, APRN, CNM

It can take a while to actually START your job, even if you get hired right away. Something not talked about a lot (prior to starting midwifery school) is that CREDENTIALING can take a while--depending on the facility (some take 2-3+ months). So wh...

Do you have your Ohio RN license yet? I am in a similar boat. I am waiting for my Ohio RN license so I can apply for my CNM license. I contacted someone for the APRN licensing about the pharmacology requirement on April 17 and did not hear back unti...

Truly come from the heart. Write your plans for what you plan to do as a CNM.

I received my acceptance letter today!! So excited!!!

I've applied. Hope to be Frontier Bound in August!

I really liked the program. You always hear about nursing programs that start out with a lot of students, only to graduate a few. This program truly wants you to succeed. I very much enjoyed the holistic point of view and the Evidence Based Practi...

I was an Augusta campus student. Some classes and lectures will be online while other classes are done together. The Athens Campus and the Augusta campus had lectures together. There's an internet connection in the classrooms with cameras so that ...

If you are an Athens student, you will have to come to the Augusta campus a few times, such as for the White Coat Ceremony and Professionalism forum, CNL Poster Presentation, Pinning Ceremony, and Graduation. Augusta students never went to Athens ca...

I just graduated from a direct entry CNL program. I work as a Staff Nurse in Obstetrics, and I procured that position prior to graduation. I, too, am working towards becoming a CNM. As I've worked in the OB field prior to starting nursing school/C...

I completed an accelerated MSN (pre-licensure) program with 4 children...my youngest just turned 4 and my oldest is 8. My youngest was 2 when I started the program. Time management is essential for nursing school, especially if you have children. ...

GRU has a satellite campus in Athens. They use the UGA campus.

Definitely go with cheap. My friend threw out a watch during clinical because there was no salvaging it after a patient's bowel movement got all over it.

Littmann actually has a store on Amazon (which is where the one you linked is coming from). The seller is 3M Littmann. I've bought my Littmann stethoscopes from amazon. Work wonderfully!

I was offered and accepted a position in OB (it encompasses both L&D and postpartum) prior to graduation.

Nursing school tests and grades are completely different than pre-reqs so don't let your GPA get to you. I would also say to not let clinical get to you. A lot of clinical in nursing school is med-surg, and not necessarily the greatest reflection o...

You can look at American College of Nurse-Midwives and go to the Education and Careers section to find more programs like that.

I got "bit by the birth bug" after having a poor experience with my first child. I knew this was an area that I wanted to work in to help make a difference. Again, this was prior to nursing school. So I went to a doula workshop to become a doula. ...

I had the same thing happened to me. Got accepted into my nursing program, my husband had some health issues, lost his job. I felt so defeated. Then I decided I'm not gonna let it get me down and reapply. I reapplied for early decision and now I'...

My group and I did a Poster for our master's program on delayed cord clamping...if you need help finding specific studies, feel free to PM me. There is a lot of high evidence research out there for delayed cord clamping.

Have you read the CNL White Paper? It explains the role of the CNL a lot more. I am a CNL student. The CNL does not prescribe medication and cannot provide medical diagnoses like APRNs can. The role of the CNL is more to help make Evidence Based ...

However, there is still didactic learning you have to do besides clinical training. That goes for any program you do.

It might be Philadelphia University's Post-Master's Certificate. It states "The Post-Master's Certificate in Midwifery is available for individuals who already have a master's degree in a health related discipline from a regionally accredited progra...

I haven't started maternity yet (that's in the summer), but the program has been quite holistic. I have been pleasantly shocked. We have always been taught pharmacological alternatives and holistic health. One day in pharmacology, one of our profe...

Yes I am :-)

You can look into master's entry (pre-licensure) programs for people who have a degree in something other than nursing. Clinical Nurse Leader is typically one of those programs. Online programs aren't really an option if you aren't already licensed...
