Really? I always thought you could start midwifery school after BSN. Isn't the midwifery degree the equivalent of MSN?

What I mean is to practice as a CNM. If one practices as a Certified Midwife, one will possess an MSN as well as be a graduate of a midwifery program and pass a certification examination.

Most schools make the CNM program a joint MSN and post-master's certificate in Nurse Midwifery. I have a BSN and have just started back to school to earn my MSN and my post-master's certiificate in nurse midwifery. My program is 2 years full time. Does that make sense? So, yes, you would apply to CNM programs with a BSN.
