Congratulations Jessica!! I am thrilled to meet you and the rest of our crew. Frontier is a wonderful school being that it fosters a true sense of community. I doubt we will ever feel as though we are alone in this journey. Thank goodness! I am absolutely thrilled and terrified. I had a moment of 'oh crap, what have I gotten myself into' but that faded quickly. :) See you soon!

I received just the email from IT! If I don't hear anything this morning I will probably email admissions. Congrats!!!!

That makes two of us NurseJBM, congrats to you too! I am just elated! What a wonderful day. :) Looking forward to meeting you in June-eeeeekkkkk!!!!

I think the universe is trying to teach us a lesson in patience. I have always considered myself a patient person but this has been quite a test for me too! I am with you NurseJBM! I am just so ready for the next chapter to begin. :)

LovaANurse09, don't fret honey! The same thing happened to me, I had written both essays, had all of my recommendation letters, etc. I went to pick up my transcripts and found out I was one point off. So I took a some credits and bumped it up over the winter break. I just had to wait until the next (this recent) deadline. You've got this! ((Hugs))

I'm glad you made the deadline!! They told me that they notify everyone regardless via email 6-8 weeks before orientation. I have heard that they usually notify before that. This wait is mighty tough! I am now stalking this thread, my emails and FNU facebook page. A watched pot never boils, right? :)

My thoughts exactly. I'm feeling end of next week maybe?? Fingers and toes crossed!!

Thanks for all the good wishes!! Mass is midwife friendly, isn't it? :) I love New England! Which year are you in currently? Is it truly doable to juggle work, family and school?

The area I am in isn't midwife friendly. It will be a real challenge to overcome but change needs to happen!! Hope to meet you too! :)

Yes! Go for it!!

I am so out of the loop being off of fb! I didn't even realize they extended the deadline. I hope this is a good sign for us! :) I am on the NY/PA line and have been an RN for ten years now, working primarily med/surg and home care. I have zero l&d experience but this is where my whole heart is. Its very tough to get into it here as well. I have talked to many midwives who have strongly discouraged me from working l&d in the local hospitals here. It is definitely not woman centered. OBGYNs rule this part of the country. There are only two birth centers in the whole state of New York-two!!! The midwife is the outcast here. We need more midwives! Sorry for the rant! Best of luck to you as well!! Hope we get to meet in June.

I did! And I too am waiting mighty impatiently! Best of luck to you. :) Do you know of anyone else who has applied? I wonder how large the classes are.
