CNM's in Houston

Does anyone know the outlook for jobs for Certified Nurse Midwives in the Houston area (or just Texas in general)? I am an RN finishing up my BSN and have always had an interest in women's health. I would like any feedback on the job outlook, online school recommendations, etc!

    From what I've heard, only 3 hospitals in the Houston area allow CNMs to assist with births- Ben Taub, Texas Children's and one other one.

    I think Austin has a bigger market for CNMs and they have the Austin Area Birthing Center which is popular.

    You have heard incorrectly about Houston. While Ben Taub & LBJ have midwives, they are part of the staff. The midwives at Texas Children's are part of the Women's Specialty group which is OB/GYNs, CNMs, and NPs. Methodist Willowbrook also has midwives (who are amazing by the way). Memorial Hermann also has at least 2 credentialed midwives who work as part of private practices but have delivery privileges. By and large the city is not CNM in hospital friendly, but that will likely change. More and more people want the combination of the CNM with hospital. I have no intention of doing out of hospital deliveries.
