Hello, I am am trying to get a feel for what type of schedules anyone is working as a CNM that they love and that works with the practice. I have the opportunity as a new CNM to start up midwifery care at a hospital practice where I currently work as an L&D RN. I will be the only CNM with the practice starting out, and they are asking for proposed schedules for myself and for my preferences (hours weekends, call only, office only, well woman or only OB, etc.) so I have options. I obviously can not cover 24/7 call as just one person, but was wondering what anyone is seeing out there that works with just one CNM and that's FAIR to both provider and practice. I have little ones at home so I of course would like to be there as much as possible, but am conflicted because I also want to see all of my patients in the office as well as catch their babies. What number of deliveries/month should I expect as the only CNM starting? I have this unique opportunity to choose my own schedule and I don't want to spread myself too thin and be away from home too much, but I also do want to do what I love as a midwife and provide great care for my patients.
