   WOW! I wish I could make that much. I am an RN/homebirth assistant in Lancaster, PA. I get $150 per birth pay directly from the clients. But our home birth CNMs here on average get $1600 for prenatal, L&D, and postpartum care.

3. Wanting to pursue Midwifery at such a young age???

   obsydian replied to NurseB_'s topic in CNM

   I wouldn't worry about getting a job. We have several "young" midwives in my area. One finished her schooling with the CNM I work for. She was hired right out of school at 28. :)
