Hey Telee73, I hadn't seen that post about them not continuiing the track if they don't receive enough qualified applicants. Yikes! I hope there are more people out there who applied because this program sounds really interesting and I REALLY want it to be offered! I have no L/D experience either, or even mother-baby experience. I work a community based psych setting, so we provide a lot of nursing duties outside of the psych scope and there are SO many families, or mother-baby dyads that I see that could benefit from services, but are too mentally ill or developmentally delayed to really access them. So me and the other nurses end up providing a lot of family planning, prenatal education, breastfeeding assistance, etc. with almost no specialized training! Not good! That's my way of saying, I really want to be in this program! As of right now, I'm planning on staying in So Cal if I get into the program, just because it's home and I'd like to get established here in the field. And like you said, flying once a month to Seattle isn't too bad! Let's cross our fingers that there are more applicants out there and we see each other come the fall! Good luck!!!
