Cate Cherry, MSN, CNM, WHNP: The moment Cate Cherry witnessed a woman giving birth, she was hooked on midwifery, reproductive health and caring for pregnant women. Cate earned a Master of Science in Nursing from Yale University and became a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM). She began her midwifery career in a community hospital in Plymouth, MA. But she’d always dreamed of living in Colorado since she visited the state as a college student. Today, she feels lucky to be at the Center for Midwifery as a CNM and instructor of clinical practice at the CU College of Nursing. If you listen carefully, you’ll hear her singing with moms in labor listening to music! Cate specializes in family planning, behavioral health and supporting people through life transitions. For fun, Cate likes to hang out at lakes and the ocean, hike and snowboard.
The Traditional Pathway is a full-time, 24-month Bachelor of Science option, designed for students who may or may not have earned a degree in the past. This program includes classroom, clinical simulation, and clinical practice as part of the curriculum. The Traditional Pathway program will be primarily offered at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. However, Traditional students may be required to attend some classes or labs at the CU South Denver location in Lone Tree. Students interested in the Traditional Pathway option apply through NursingCAS before the application deadline. Once admitted, students begin their program the following summer semester. The pace of the Traditional Pathway facilitates the integration of learning and acknowledges that students balance a number of responsibilities while completing their nursing education. However, please note that this is a full-time program of study; many students find it difficult to work more than 10-20 hours per week.
