the midwifery part of nurse-midwifery curriculum

Published

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the midwifery part of your nurse-midwifery program was like? I really like the curriculum followed my non-nurse midwives and was wondering if it's generally the same for nurse-midwives. What kinds of things did you learn, i.e. Do you cover use of herbs etc. Thanks.

I am in a Nurse-Midwifery program. We do not get formal education on herbal and/or alternative medicine, but we do learn some of it. It comes from those in our cohort with experience in the matter, or because someone knows a ________ (chiropractor, herbalist, massage therapist, etc) who volunteers to come in and teach us what we want to know. You also learn it on your own. I also learned quite a bit at the ACNM conference last week where I tried to go to things about stuff we hadn't learned (ie Alternative medicine) instead of the medical stuff like hypertension, preecclampsia, ect. I would have loved to skip over the nursing part, but I wanted to be able to practice ANY/EVERY where, so I went the CNM route.

Good luck in choosing the right fit for you!
