Yes, the expense is a huge drawback for me. I looked at University of Cincinnati & their midwifery program alone was 3 years. I can't imagine spending 3 years & only getting the one degree if I want to have both.

Thanks for the reply! I actually do want to do both - provide women's healthcare & obstetric care. I have spoken with a provider that has both certifications and she highly recommended it. She also recommended that I get both at once if I can, verses getting one & having to go back for the other. I live in Phoenix, so I should have plenty of options for clinical hours :)

I have about 2.5 years RN experience (1.5 years acute care, non-OB related & 1 year call center). I am looking to start my grad program in women's health. I have decided that I would like to pursue becoming a women's health NP & a midwife. I live in Arizona, where there is sadly no formal midwife program available. My only option that I have found to get this dual education online is through Georgetown University. I believe this would be a good school & a good option for me. Do any of you have experience with this school or program? Are there any other options for obtaining my educational goals, short of relocating (not an option)?

Thanks for the info! I will look into that school. I live in the Phoenix area so hopefully I will have more opportunities :)

I am a new graduate nurse. I have an interview for labor and delivery, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity! What should I expect in the interview? Will I be asked generic interview questions, nursing judgement, or knowledge-based questions? I want to be as prepared as possible so I don't miss out on this opportunity. I appreciate all input! :)

I am graduating nursing school with a BSN this fall, and I have a strong passion for L&D/newborns. I absolutely want to go into L&D, any recommendations for getting a job as a new grad? I am making all attempts to complete my preceptorship in L&D, hoping and praying that may provide me an "in". I also want to continue my education with the ultimate goal to be delivering babies :) I have looked at DNP and midwife programs, but I am unsure what my next step would be. I would enjoy more of the clinic-based care with clinic or hospital deliveries. I am located in Arizona, and I believe from the research I have done so far, there is no formal midwife program I have accepted that I will need to complete online education in another state. I have found a masters degree program at Georgetown University for NM/WHNP. Is anyone familiar with this program? I know the current recommendation is a doctoral degree for NP's. I am young and at the start of my career so I would much rather reach the termination of my education now, instead of needing to return to school once I have children and an established family. I welcome all opinions and information :)
