  1. Confused about Certifications - EMT, BLS, and NRP

    biggolp replied to biggolp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you, JustBeachyNurse, for clarifying. I already completed my BLS CPR and AED portion of my EMT class, but was told that I will only be certified after completing my EMT certification. I didn't...

  2. CNA or Doula to BSN to CNM

    biggolp replied to pjoe08's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Another aspiring midwife here. This info has been very helpful. I am currently finishing my (non-nursing) bachelor's and working on pre-requisites to enter a direct-entry midwifery program. I am...

  3. Any midwives that got an ADN through Excelsior?

    biggolp replied to biggolp's topic in Excelsior College

    Sorry... Thanks for the good luck

  4. Any midwives that got an ADN through Excelsior?

    biggolp replied to biggolp's topic in Excelsior College

    Good question... I don't have to if I plan to stay in NY (which I do plan on right now), but if I ever moved to another state and wanted to practice as a CNM, I would have to get my RN in order to get...

  5. Any midwives that got an ADN through Excelsior?

    biggolp replied to biggolp's topic in Excelsior College

    Thank you, cass1320, for your input. I am well aware of the differences between a CNM and a CPM. What I was referring to is a CM - a relatively new (several years?) concept that is only recognized in...

  6. Any midwives that got an ADN through Excelsior?

    biggolp replied to biggolp's topic in Excelsior College

    Thank you for your comments. Can you please clarify some of your points for me? I am new to this idea and just exploring it, so please help me understand. Of course midwifery has clinicals! I'm...

  7. New Poster - Midwifery first and Nursing later?

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

    Thank you lauras219! That answered my question exactly! I don't know why I didn't think of asking the Midwifery Institute of Philadelphia! It is probably my first choice for midwifery. I also found...

  8. New Poster - Midwifery first and Nursing later?

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

    Thanks, queenanneslace, for sharing! I actually feel incredibly spoiled to be living in the only state that gives full credit to CMs and I would DEFINITELY pursue a CNM degree if that were not the...

  9. New Poster - Midwifery first and Nursing later?

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

    Perhaps as more states recognize CMs this would not be necessary, but, as of now, perhaps the ACMB has to consider this point. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue. Right now, with my...

  10. How long should I expect prereqs to take?

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

    Thanks for the info about the Cayuga County Community College. I will check them

  11. New Poster - Midwifery first and Nursing later?

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

    Thanks for the heads-up about Downstate's faculty, as opposed to their administration. Let me know if you find an email address for them.

  12. How long should I expect prereqs to take?

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

    I am not working. However, I have 7 kids! So, I will need to see if I can manage 3 courses a semester... I would love to finish prereqs sooner rather than later. Did you do ALL your prereqs online? If...

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

    Thank you midwifetobe85! I had other questions for SUNY as well, so I will add this one to my list. I did not get a response when I emailed them, though. Do you suggest I call or do you have a...

  14. New Poster - Midwifery first and Nursing later?

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

    Thank you for your reply, queenanneslace! I know it's an interesting question and currently really only theoretical. I know that the CM is becoming more and more popular here in NY as people that are...

  15. CNM path questions...

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

    RoalieiMae, can I ask which ABSN program you are in? I'm in NY, too, and am considering going for an ABSN as well. (My Bachelor's is in Human Services.) Also, are there pre-reqs to the ABSN program?...
