Hello I’ve always know about midwifery but I never considered it until now I just wanted to know some of the pros and the cons of midwifery. I live in Texas and I have no degree as of right now if that changes anything. submitted by /u/Mooshroomfairy [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm interested in becoming a midwife in Canada but I'm unsure on what education I should pursue, and whether or not I should become a nurse midwife. I'm wondering if a CNM is "better" than a CPM. I'm looking for any advice anyone can give me on the subject. I know that I want to have a career I can look back on and be proud of, and I understand that can be the truth for either pathway, but I'd like to hear what you have to say! submitted by /u/bigfartbiggerheart [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’m currently in California. Wondering what the salary outcome is for midwives without a nursing degree? Is it viable to stay a midwife without becoming a nurse midwife? I don’t have any bachelors degree in anything, but here’s two choices I can take if I wanted to: Midwife school first and hopefully make a decent income and save up so I can do the nursing program out of community college, which would be a two-year program. The pros would be having time to take pre requisites and go to a nurse midwife school after. Cons are possibly a lower salary for a few years, midwife bachelors isn’t ty ..read more

Posting this on r/nursing as well. New to reddit so sorry if this is formatted wrong. I would likely follow a family member's footsteps and eventually become an NP (women's health concentration) along with getting my RNM certification. I'm aware I have to work for at least a few years as just an RN before I can go back to school for my NP and RNM. My question for ya'll is, taking into consideration my background, would I be making the right choice in pursuing nursing? Will it be too chaotic for me to have a decent social life outside of work? Will I likely be stuck for many years doing unfulf ..read more

Hi, so I just have a few questions that I can’t quite find on google, I’m not sure if I’m just not phrasing my searches correctly but I literally can’t find exactly what I’m looking for, so if anyone can help that would be amazing! So I want to go to uni to be a midwife! I live in the UK. I first need to go back and get my Maths GCSE and then take a few courses in college to meet the requirements for the uni I’m hopefully going to apply for so realistically I won’t be going to uni for at least 1-2 years. I just really wanted to give myself a bit of a head start to help me understand things be ..read more

Hi all! I'm a traditional undergrad BSN student just finishing up my first year of actual nursing school (I'm a junior). As I get closer to graduating, I'm getting really anxious about my grades. I keep looking at the GPA requirements for CNM schools I hope to eventually attend (not like Yale or anything, but hopefully a good in person program), and I'm definitely at the lower end of the GPA scales for lots of schools (I'm like a 3.4ish). I know I 100% want to be a midwife--that's why I decided to go to nursing school! My question is--how important is nursing school GPA? Will it totally wreck ..read more
