Hey thanks yes I am exploring other avenues! good luck to you to in your adventures!

I would agree with Vimmie you could use your experience and qualification from Spain as you are already nirse trained thats the beauty. Im not able to work as a midwife in USA as I am a direct entry midwife (not a nirse first) so I would need to go through an application process through ACNM plus take an exam...! It just means proving myself again which is why I have decided to put it on the back burner for now eventhough midwifery is my passion!!

Hey Vimmie thank you for your speedy reply! what is the best way to stay in contact with you?? you have helped me a lot! I would like to keep in contact with you if that is ok as it has been hard enough to find someone that understands where I am coming from let alone the correct information re: continuing practice

thanks so much for your message it makes more sense now! I have two young children so going bk to uni at the mo is going to be hard at but I guess this is route I should take when I am ready if you dont mind me asking how much does the accelerated course (18 months) cost and how do I find out which Uni's in MN do the course - is it a matter of "google it" - also is it practice based like part uni part placement like UK thanks for your time I am really trying to see what the best way for me to work in MN will be either maintain my midwifery (which I am very passionate about) or go into a completely different field/ job

Hey Vimmie thank you for your message Im still unsure what the requirements are for me to practice as midwife in MN - it is all confusing Is doing the accelerated nursing masters and then the doctorate the correct pathway? I wish the process was the same as UK!! that way we would not have to retrain Also what is the process with the NMC pin - thank you for your time

Hey! Vimmie Just wondered if you are now working in US as a Midwife?? I am in the middle of moving over to the US (MN) - (I am a direct entry midwife in UK qualified since 2010 and currently working as a Postnatal Ward Manager in a London Hospital). I am keen to stay in the midwifery field and am aware of the challenges I may face here in US so was wondering if there was a way for me to still work as a midwife...
