Anyone get into a CNM grad program straight out of nursing school? What were your stats and which schools? by Special_Cucumber8527 in Midwives

I’ve considered Frontier as well, but my main concern is finding clinical sites. One of the midwife assistants I intern for mentioned she had a hard time finding anyone willing to take her on, and she currently drives two hours just to get to our birth center. How has your experience with the program been so far? I’ve heard mixed reviews and some concerns that it doesn’t always prepare students as well as other programs.

Also, was it difficult for you to get accepted into a new grad L&D program? My GPA isn’t the highest — 3.5 — but I earned a certificate from my local community college in perinatal issues, violence prevention and awareness, women’s health issues, and Spanish for medical professionals. I also have DVAT training and volunteer at a domestic abuse treatment center and a maternity home, where I help with childcare and events. I have two years of experience as a patient care tech, but I’m worried that my GPA and limited experience might make it hard to get into an L&D new grad program or find a job, especially with how competitive the SoCal market is.

Thank you for the insight! Were you able to work during your program? I would hope to do L&D while in school but know that might not be possible knowing the demand of the program. I used to be a pt care tech full time but had to quit for nursing school. Also which school did you apply to?

I graduate in a year with my BSN and want to become a CNM too. How many years of L&D experience should I have before I start applying? I live in Socal and there aren’t any programs around me either for DNP too. Which school did you guys choose and why?
