Graduation2016 Specializes in OB. Sep 14, 2014 From what I know you have to have a BSN and then apply to a midwifery program which can be another 2 years. Check out Frontier Nursing University in Kentucky. Hope you find the info you're looking for. 0 Likes

ceridwyn Has 25 years experience. Sep 28, 2014 You must apply for a diploma or masters in midwifery and then, depending what state you are applying in , apply for clinical placement for at least 3 days a week. In Victoria these are mainly unpaid, in NSW they are paid. On top of attending uni studies a great amount of time ( your own time is devoted to attending at least 20 women their appts and labour and attend post nat appts. These wonen you have to find yoyrself though the uni and hosp does give the mid student access to clinics and advertises for women on students behalf. It is not an easy course. 0 Likes
