I am weighing out my options in terms of going to school, or being an apprentice MW. The amount of time they take is not an issue, I am more interested in your experiences.
I am going to start self-educating more now, is there a somewhat comprehensive list you would consider excellent to go through?
(Including anatomy, etc)
What were the advantages of not going to a MW School?
(Besides money? SMS is 40,000 a year, plus books. I would also have to spend about 6,000 on CC classes first.
: I would get financial aid, but not enough to cover everything, my DH is in school so we don't have extra money, if I desepately wanted to, I would find a way, but I want to make sure I know what I want first.)
What are the advantages of going to a MW School?
Tell me something lovely about being a Midwife.
:
It jumped into my heart when I was 17, but I felt that I wasn't old enough, and I didn't have a baby. I thought SMS was the only way (we lived near-ish Seattle) and I couldn't fathom having to go to community colleg for a year and a half. In fact, I still can't. I have no aversion to knowledge (I love to learn) but not in that environment.
Now that I have discovered there is more than one way to get there, I am aiming myself directly at being a Midwife.
Also, I am looking to expand my library, any used books on midwifery youd like to trade/sell/give?
Thank you,
Crystal
