Hi Nursing School Diva! I hope you hear back soon on your admission to U of Cin ! Waiting can be stressful, but I think like Renee said, it is most likely due to the time of year and lots of admissions coming in. I see that you mentioned having OB and midwives from work to precept you. I also was hoping to precept with midwives I work with, but I spoke with the program director and was told you are not allowed to precept at your place of employment whether it be a hospital or a clinic. I just wanted to tell you that so you don't wait find alternatives. I have started to reach out to midwives informally just to see their willingness to take students and availability, but once we start in January then we will get the contract information to actually give them. I am looking forward to getting all of that solidify since it truly is the most stressful part. Good luck to you though, and let us know when you get your acceptance notification! I got mine in email and then a letter!

Hi Renee!! Nice to meet you! What state are you in? I'm in Illinois and it will also be a problem for me to find preceptors since most hospital based midwives are contracted with University of Illinois in Chicago. I havn't started researching out yet because most midwives need to see a contract or something first. It will definitely be a challenge though. Can't wait to register and learn more about the flow of the program. Good luck to you!

Hi Everyone! I was recently accepted to start the Distance Nurse Midwifery program at U of C this January! I am so excited to finally start the journey to my passion and dream job. I was hoping to reach out and see if there were any others starting at the same time? I would love to be in touch with my peers and frankly vent about our current stress and excitement! Can't wait to register for classes this month Sarah
