I'm excited about starting Frontier (I start classes on 4/4) but I worry about setting time aside to get everything done. Good luck with the rest of your classes! Maybe we'll meet in a future class or at clinical bound! :)Mama Midwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799073982777779448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793442420241918703.post-31391549260851937082011-03-08T07:24:27.614-05:002011-03-08T07:24:27.614-05:00Thanks Danielle.

Slowly but surely we'll get through it! :)<br /><br />I applied to Frontier a couple months after graduation and started the program with 6 months of RN experience. I worked as a Care Partner for 2.5 years on a Mother-Infant unit before graduation, and that experience plus lactation education was what allowed me entrance into the program. I spoke with the Dean before I submitted my application and that is probably also what got my accepted. I strongly recommend getting a job as a RN before applying, just so you can have it on paper. It doesn't need to be OB related either, as I work on a Med-Surg unit.<br /><br />Good luck! I look forward to hearing about your acceptance. Frontier is a great school.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882894221841298482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793442420241918703.post-89187213941792112352011-03-07T16:21:53.134-05:002011-03-07T16:21:53.134-05:00Hi Ginny,

I'm about to start my accelerated BSN and thinking about attending Frontier for the Nurse-Midwife program, and it's really great to get an idea of what's involved. I've done the full-time work, part-time school thing, and know how stressful it can be - and I don't even have kids yet! You can do it though! One step at a time, and at the end of the tunnel you'll be a midwife! How exciting!<br /><br />Do you know of any accepted Frontier students who did not have any nursing experience, but did have doula experience? That's the boat I'll be in...<br /><br />-Danielle : )Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923863691143449286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793442420241918703.post-44018546263913118292011-02-12T09:09:14.665-05:002011-02-12T09:09:14.665-05:00Oh....wow.

He would let us do some work but then turn in what he had written. He didn't know APA and apparently English grammar so it was even more frustrating when my name was on something that I did not do. It was one of the most frustrating school experiences I have ever had. Hopefully your group work will go better. Good luck! :)Speculative Speculumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982413528889314445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793442420241918703.post-39956784447731231562011-02-11T09:29:25.063-05:002011-02-11T09:29:25.063-05:00Yay Ginny! :)Yay Ginny! :)Journey_Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348834394727130299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793442420241918703.post-37661603233058950822011-02-08T12:08:45.636-05:002011-02-08T12:08:45.636-05:00I can relate....."my self-esteem is pretty mu...I can relate....."my self-esteem is pretty much shot" is what I've been feeling - both with Patho and my job search. =/<br /><br />I'm sorry that you've had a rough couple of weeks. =/ I really hope this next exam goes better for you.Journey_Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348834394727130299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793442420241918703.post-18325515516866894782011-02-05T23:13:34.776-05:002011-02-05T23:13:34.776-05:00exactly :)exactly :)Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882894221841298482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793442420241918703.post-31923894248466671632011-02-05T19:52:32.045-05:002011-02-05T19:52:32.045-05:00Super Sucky.
