    Definition
    A person who is trained in both nursing and midwifery and, in the US, is certified by
    the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM). In order to practice, a nurse-midwife
    must pass an examination for certification by a national board. Nurse-midwife training
    focuses on the management of women’s health care, particularly pregnancy , childbirth, the
    postpartum period, care of the newborn, and gynecology. Nurse-midwife training promotes
    a noninterventional, individualized approach to normal pregnancy and childbirth, involving
    a certain amount of women's education - an approach that is often time-consuming.

    Certified nurse-midwives may not have predictable hours. Babies are born at any time,
    day or night, weekends or holidays. Nurse midwives may be called in to work to help
    deliver babies at any time, may be on-call to care for patients, or may have scheduled
    appointments with patients. CNMs need to understand that they will likely have demanding
    hours as part of their work.

    How to Become A Nurse-Midwife?
    1. EARN A BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING (BSN) DEGREE
    For the first step of certified nurse midwife schooling, students should enroll in a bachelor’s program in nursing.
    Traditionally, full-time students can finish their bachelor’s degrees in four years.
    2. OBTAIN LICENSURE AS A REGISTERED NURSE
    To earn licensure, RNs need to pass the NCLEX-RN examination and earn an undergraduate degree. They also need to apply
    for RN licensure from their state.
    3. PURSUE SPECIALIZATIONS WHILE WORKING AS AN RN
    Nurses often work as RNs before pursuing certified nurse midwife degrees and further licensure. This experience allows
    them to hone their skills and knowledge, affording them a level of authority and expertise they need for advanced practice
    roles.
    4. GAIN ADMISSION TO AN ACCREDITED MASTER OF SCIENCE IN NURSING (MSN) OR DOCTOR OF
    NURSING PRACTICE (DNP) PROGRAM WITH A SPECIALTY IN NURSE MIDWIFERY
    Next, RNs should apply for either a master’s degree or DNP with a nurse midwifery concentration. Although you can pursue
    either degree to earn certification, a doctorate can lead to higher salaries and more job opportunities. Admission requirements
    vary by school.
    Next..
    5. EARN AN MSN OR DNP DEGREE
    A master’s program may take about two years to complete, while students might need to dedicate 3-4 years
    to a DNP. While in graduate school, students take advanced nursing courses, such as fetal evaluation and
    antepartum care. They must also complete practicum hours, which allow them to apply what they’ve
    learned under supervision. When pursuing a graduate degree, make sure your courses and practicum hours
    fulfill nurse midwifery certification and licensure requirements.
    6. OBTAIN CERTIFICATION FROM THE AMERICAN MIDWIFERY CERTIFICATION
    BOARD
    The American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB) offers the CNM credential. To earn this credential,
    candidates need a graduate degree and an RN license. They must also pass the AMCB certification exam.
    The exam tests a candidate’s grasp of safe practice and knowledge of physiology, pharmacology, and
    clinical decision making. The test consists of multiple choice questions, and candidates take the exam on
    computers at testing sites.
    7. OBTAIN CERTIFIED NURSE MIDWIFE STATE LICENSURE
    Just like with RN licensure, each state determines its own certified nurse midwife requirements concerning
    advanced practice licensure. Some states, for instance, require nurses who want to prescribe medication to
    turn in an extra application, while others allow any licensed CNM to possess automatic prescriptive
    authority. You can find out more information about each state on this page from the Midwives Alliance of
    North America.
