How do I start? And more questions...

[Naztari]

Hi there,

I'm looking into becoming a CNM and I'm wondering what the very first step is?

Also, my husband is military, so we move around alot. How will this effect becoming a CNM?

Thanks!

Do you already have a baccalaureate degree? If so, you can apply to a direct-entry master's program that offers midwifery. They take three years to complete, beginning to end (BSN + MSN), if you go full time. This is what I am doing. I started 6 months ago, and I'll be a CNM in May of 2011 unless I slow down and go part time for a while.
