I think the more rural areas use them more, I could be wrong. The Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing might actually have more information. http://www.frontierschool.edu/ They are the first school of Midwifery in KY. I researched them as I too want to someday be a NP. Not necessarily a CNM...I don't know yet.

If you mean Kentucky, yes we could use them. the University of Kentucky is the only hospital in Lexington not using them and they are finally caving in and starting to use them. They are hiring CNMs now for labor and delivery. Also Lexington has a large number of "crunchy" moms who prefer midwives and/or home birthing.
You can also teach as a CNM, one of my instructors is a CNM.
