Re: Confused about the process...
Yes, becoming a CNM involves getting a master's degree. I am currently in the Frontier School of Midwifery & Family Nursing's Bridge program, which allows me, with an Associate's degree in nursing, to get my Master's and become a CNM in 3 years. It sort of "bridges" the Bachelor's degree. So, it's one year shorter, generally, which also means one less year of tuition!
Check out Frontier's web site, also. It's a wonderful, historical school and uses distance learning, so much of the program is done from home, including your clinicals, which can be done in your community.
Good Luck!!
