Hi guys! Yes, I was lucky to start as a new grad in L&D. I would have rather shoot myself in the foot than work the floor- but- the skills that nurses learn as a nurse anywhere are valuable. I told my work when I interviewed that midwifery is the only reason I went into nursing and what I want to do and they hired me! (I even caught a baby today which is one of the things I love about my job!) I am based out of a really high risk center so I have learned and deeply appreciate everything that could possibly go wrong, but have a deep desire to work with women who want conscious birth and who are in good health. I am only applying to Frontier. I didn't even consider other schools, I have a coworker in the program and it seemed like a good fit with a great reputation. I live in Arizona and there is a local midwife group that I could precept with. I hope we hear soon 'cause it'd be nice to buy cheaper tickets and have that relief of being able to plan your life around that expectation. I can't wait to meet you both!

It's nice to meet you midwifetobe85! I hope that soon we can meet in person. I am studying for my RNC right now so it makes the wait a little easier and I am able to forget how grueling it can be to wait for an admission acceptance. I'm a big fan of doulas! I had one for my second born and she was fantastic! I am like you in that I used nursing as a stepping stone into midwifery. I'm so excited that it's finally (fingers crossed) going to happen. Right now I work in a high risk tertiary L&D unit (I was lucky enough to start right out of nursing school a few years ago) and I love my job. I'm just finally ready to move up to the next level and get my CNM! I have already been scouring my email inbox and mailbox for a Frontier letter, even though I know it's way too early! I will let you know if I hear anything- I hope to meet you soon!

I have been voyeuring the CNEP forums and now it's time to chime in. I applied into class 113 too! The wait is killing me! I think we should probably start a support group. Do you know if we receive or acceptance status in an email or do they mail it us?
