I have wanted to be a midwife for a long time.
I started my training as a childbirth educator back in 1992 and as I got deeper into the childbirth community, the desire to become a midwife has gotten stronger. Unfortunately, due to life's little bumps, I've had to put this dream on the back burner for some time. But now the time has come to move forward.
I found out yesterday that I have been accepted into the Certified Nurse Midwifery/Women's Health Nurse Practitioner program at Georgetown University! Classes begin August 8th! I am so excited!
I will be going part-time to make it a little easier to juggle family life with school. Since my husband travels quite often and I still have a little one that is not in school yet, I decided it would be best to take it slow. It should take about 2 years to complete the program. No matter, I am so happy that I am finally to this point! I finally see the prize at the end! 49 credits and 900 clinical hours is all the stands between me and my dream! It has been worth the wait!!!!
