  1. Preceptor Problem Solved

    CNMidwife2Be replied to Simplyroses's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Here's the thing Simplyroses, schools ultimately have minimal control over sites even if they are the ones procuring them. At one brick and mortar Ivy League school near me, where they do find your...

  2. CM in NY

    CNMidwife2Be replied to lilifurd's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    So true mamagui. I felt the same way about nursing school. The accelerated 1 yr BSN was the hardest year of my life. But I'm grateful now to have the flexibility to work in any state. To the OP- I...

  3. Tell me about Midwifery

    CNMidwife2Be replied to auson16's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    A lot of hospitals in my area have the same schedule for midwives for full-time work: 2 clinic days, 2 12-hour labor shifts (usually one day, one night). It's busy but

  4. Frontier Midwifery Program

    CNMidwife2Be replied to JennyS's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I totally agree. I'm a Frontier student in clinicals and nearly all of my sites were obtained through personal connections I had made as a doula or nursing student or other midwifery community...

  5. Out of hospital Midwife?

    CNMidwife2Be replied to Laceyrochelle26's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I personally know about 8 home birth CNMs and I worked as one of their assistants for a

  6. Frontier Midwifery Program

    CNMidwife2Be replied to JennyS's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Id like to add that I've spoken to Yale students who told me their clinical placement (which the school is responsible for finding) was delayed. There weren't enough sites and as such they got a...

  7. CPM VS. BSN

    CNMidwife2Be replied to FutureNurseKali's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    FutureNurseKali if midwifery is your goal than you should definitely speak to some CNMs in your area. I realized my calling to midwifery before starting nursing school and didn't know if should pursue...

  8. Babies on a plane!! (and also cord clamping)

    CNMidwife2Be replied to adventure_rn's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Also, for a seriously wonderful explanation about why delayed cord clamping is not inly safe but hugely important check out this video by Penny

  9. Babies on a plane!! (and also cord clamping)

    CNMidwife2Be replied to adventure_rn's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Lol me too!! Leave that cord

  10. L & D Experience

    CNMidwife2Be replied to hopefulfnp's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I feel that midwifery is a separate and unique profession from L&D nursing. Naturally all birth experience is valuable and some non-L&D nurses may have a steeper learning curve in some areas....

  11. CPM to CNM

    CNMidwife2Be replied to SwtRainbowbrite's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Congrats Cayenne!! That's wonderful :) I'm at FNU and just finished my didactic work and am about to start my clinicals next week. Did you end up taking the planned parenthood

  12. NYC CNMs: FRONTIER OR SUNY DOWNSTATE?????!

    CNMidwife2Be replied to Ria28's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi Ria, I'm a Frontier student but was also accepted into SUNY a Downstate. I actually chose Frontier because I chose to leave NYC. I have been overall very happy with Frontier and feel they place a...

  13. Thinking about quitting nursing school

    CNMidwife2Be replied to LucyJan's topic in General Nursing

    I know it might not feel this way, but you have a lot of time to figure things out. I changed my mind about a dozen times when it came to choosing a profession. I eventually did an undergraduate...

  14. Future CNM

    CNMidwife2Be replied to DreamerCNM2b's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Frontier requires either a year of nursing (any area) or a year of birth work (doula, lactation educator/specialist, childbirth educator). I understand the issue w being an on-call doula. Do any of...

  15. Question about some things a midwife can and cannot do?

    CNMidwife2Be replied to BrooklynHD's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    As far as the MSN vs DNP - not anytime soon. ACNM is against the change since they state more midwives are needed and that yet higher educational requirements create an unnecessary barrier to...

  16. Question about some things a midwife can and cannot do?

    CNMidwife2Be replied to BrooklynHD's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I second LibraSun's comments. Also, it really depends on the state. I know of home birth CNMs who attend twins and breech. Of course, this is controversial but I know these midwives feel they're...

  17. Frontier University

    CNMidwife2Be replied to JessicaDanielle's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Im a student at Frontier and never worked as a nurse but have about 5 years as a doula and CBE. I strongly believe in this pathway as a viable option and that nursing is not necessary for midwifery....

  18. CPM to CNM

    CNMidwife2Be replied to SwtRainbowbrite's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  19. Hopeful Someday CNM...

    CNMidwife2Be replied to LaceElaine's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Totally agreed. I was a doula for 5 years before doing my accelerated BSN and then midwifery program and never became certified. It's the training course that's valuable. I felt the same way about...

  20. When to start applying for Certified Nurse Midwife jobs?

    CNMidwife2Be replied to seattleguy's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi Alecia, I'm also about a year from graduation from Frontier. I've heard about many classmates starting that process as far as 6 months out. No need to wait for comps or boards. I think some places...

  21. How old were you/how long did it take?

    CNMidwife2Be replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Btw, I wanted to add that although there's a big range, the majority of my class at Frontier is older than me too - about 35 is the average. Don't think about the time/years/age though. Just put one...

  22. How old were you/how long did it take?

    CNMidwife2Be replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I started my nursing school pre-reqs at 23, did my ABSN at 25-26, had to take a year off when I decided not to attend my original midwifery program choice, then started Frontier at 27. I'm now 28,...

  23. Home-Birth/ Doula Friendly CNM Program

    CNMidwife2Be replied to mstacer's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm a student midwife at Frontier and they are highly supportive of physiological birth. I would say most content reflects what I learned through my own self-study as a doula and is philosophically in...

  24. CNM vs CM?

    CNMidwife2Be replied to Devie06's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Great description QueenAnneslace! I totally agree. I considered the CPM pathway but found a lot of inconsistency. I know some excellent CPMs but I've also met several that I felt were unsafe (lacking...

  25. Frontier vs Georgetown CNM

    CNMidwife2Be replied to angezsmiling's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi there! I'm a frontier student. I don't know much about Georgetown (besides it's high cost) but just wanted to share that getting your WHNP cert at Frontier after the masters is incredibly simple....
