Dreams of becoming a CNM in California

[savvyme]

Hi everyone! I am a current ER nurse with both ER and ICU experience currently working in the Los Angeles area. I am trying to switch to L&D and eventually plan to become a CNM. Covid has really taken a toll on my passion for ER and I have decided to follow my dream of working with babies. I would love to hear about your experiences working as a CNM and the road to what sounds like the dream career. I think we want to have our forever home be in San Diego and plan our kiddo will be about 5 or 6 by the time we move (she is one now). I hope to be done with school then have about a year under my belt to land a good job. If any of you work in that area, where do you work and how difficult was it for you to land a job? How is the salary? I can’t wait to hear your stories.
