I know the difference between and Women's Health NP and a CNM, and I also know that there are programs out there that offer a combined WHNP and CNM degree and you have both, but is there programs out there that are acually called OB/GYN NP programs?? I have never heard of this, but I have noticed this on some of the threads on here. Thanks!

Not to my knowledge, there are not OB-GYN NP programs.

When I first became an NP, my designation (and, program) was: OB-GYN NP and I still use that designation. But, as far as I know, those programs no longer exist. They are called, "Women's Health Care NP" programs and certification with NCC=WHNP.
