2. NICU travel to CNM

   nja06 replied to nbl01's topic in CNM

   Thank you! I thought it wouldn't have been a problem to find placement because I literally moved to Cali from Florida and was surrounded by midwives but they said Cali and Florida are notoriously difficult. At this point, I'm not sure where isn't dif...

   nja06 replied to nbl01's topic in CNM

   I graduated from Georgetown in November 2020 with a class of about 10. I chose it based on the dual degree and the clinical placement team. Clinical placement was a real pain although they always came through even if it was the last minute or at a di...

   I've seen males be very successful in labor and as midwives although seldomly. I say follow your dreams and you'll get there if you're passionate enough!

7. General Questions about CNM

   CNMS are the only midwives that can work in every state and every setting (out of hospital and within hospital). You have to get a separate license for your state and different states have different salaries depending on cost of living and job requi...

15. Canceled Contract

    nja06 replied to nja06's topic in Travel
