Certified Nurse Midwife - Masters degree or more?

Published

What are the degree requirements to be a CNM in the near future (2015)? Will you now need a Doctorate degree like with Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants. Or is it still just a Masters degree? I always wanted to be a midwife, but have taken so long to get my BSN that I don't know if another degree is possible this late in my stage (age 44) and definitely not sure about TWO more advanced degrees.

Hi everybody! Do you know as for now what was the decision made

Sorry I pressed sent. Anyways, I heard about how a Doctor's degree will be necessary to become a Certified Nurse Midwife starting in 2015. Does anyone know about that? This changes everything about reaching my dreams!
