I currently have my RN license with BSN degree and my dream is to become a midwife. I've also strongly considered becoming a WHNP as well. I know most require a Master's degree, but I've found a school where you can become a midwife with a BSN degree. I've also found separate schools for each CNM and WHNP, as well as some schools that offer both programs but not together. My question is, are there any schools that offer both courses that you can take relatively together? Any online? Anywhere I can go in with just a BSN into the program? I will consider anywhere in the country, but preferably either Missouri, Arizona, or the North-west areas

I recently discovered that hospital nursing is NOT for me, and I would prefer to do something more like office or clinic nursing. I have 4 months OB nurse experience and have applied into several office and clinic positions. One in particular, at an OB office, I am extremely interested in for several reasons. I have already had an interview with the nurse manager, and am supposed to be being contacted soon for a meeting with the doctor who started the practice. I know it will be another interview. I hate interviews because I feel like it's a competition that I usually never win. My OB position, I knew the hiring manager, which is why I think I got the position. Every other position, I cannot seem to get passed the last interview. I really want and could almost say NEED this position. Any advice on how to "WOW" the doctor or tips for meeting with doctors?

I am a new nurse, but am unable to do hospital nursing. I was recommended to look into office and clinic positions. I did happen to find an office nurse position listed on Craigslist. They did not mention any experience, and it seemed to fit for me. They asked for an email with phone number, name, and CV. I was always told about submitting resumes and how everyone wants your resume so I had literally never heard of a CV. I looked it up to be safe, and I found several things stating that it was basically the same as a resume and that submitting a resume instead would be fine. So that's what I did. I sent an email stating I was extremely interested in the position, with my contact information, cover letter (which they did not ask for), and resume. After applying, I found this post on yahoo answers from another person (https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090120113021AAwcIoN) who was told they need to make a CV and send it in for their university positions. Now, I am applying for a medical office nurse position and not a university position, or even one outside the U.S. But did I just completely blow that opportunity by sending in a resume instead? I'm putting together a CV now for the future, but I'm still worried about that position, because it was on I really wanted.

Thank you for the input. I've been looking and so far none have been in my area. I live in St. Louis, MO and the closest I've found was in Springfield, MO for a Mobile Phlebotomist. I would've applied if it was closer. The OB/GYN offices so far only want MAs or NPs as I said before, but I will also be looking into small practice ones in person tomorrow. I will keep looking though. Thanks again. If anyone thinks of anything else, please let me know.

I am a new nurse, with only 3 months hospital experience. I was very lucky and managed to snag an OB nurse position with SSM Futures. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to keep up with the intensity and fast pace of the hospital setting. After having my orientation extended twice, I'm still having issues and thus after talking with my team leader, we've decided that I should probably resign. Because of my efforts though, she will try to help me get at least an interview for a different position, but I have to find some, and I only have 30 days. We discussed that something like a desk job, physician's office, or low-acuity clinic might be a better fit for me. The problem is, I'm afraid my RN license puts me right in the middle with being too high for medical assistant positions, and not high enough for Nurse Practitioner positions. As well as I don't have the several years experience most want for desk positions. I absolutely love the OB setting, although I realize that will probably not be where my next job is, and I love the clinical aspect of being able to do IV's and blood draws. Does anyone have any advice or know of any other positions that I could look into that might work for me? Any office, desk type, or phlebotomist positions that I could do with an RN license but only 3 months experience?
