But aren't certified-nurse midwives allowed to work in hospitals? I know that direct entry midwifery is illegal in some states, but I want to be a certified-nurse midwife which I've been told is legal in all 50 states.

Hi everyone!! I currently live in Miami, Florida and just started school. I am currently working on my AA in pre-nursing and after that I will get my BSN and then my MSN. I want to be a certified nurse midwife, and me and my boyfriend both want to move out of Florida within the next two years. Miami is such a disaster!! But anyways, his family lives in Omaha so there is a very strong possibility that that is where we would move. So, I just want to know if there is any midwives out there in Omaha that are willing to say what there average salary is or if they know what the salary for a midwife is along with the # of years of experience that comes along with that salary. Also, can anyone tell me of any really good school in Omaha where I would be able to get my BSN and MSN?? Thank you all very much for your time...:nuke:

thank you very much!!

Thank you all very much for your help!!! What my counselor had told me was that when I get my AA in pre-nursing I could transfer to a university to get my BSN in two years. Or that I could just get an AS in nursing (which would be to get my RN right??) but that the waiting list is long and that it was very hard to get in because they only pick like 100 applicants out of like 1200, and that basically to even get a chance to get in I would need at least a 3.8 GPA, nothing less. So he told me that even with my AA in pre-nursing I could get my BSN in 2 years, but its just that I'm having second thoughts about it because since I'm not gaining any experience now. But I guess I'll just go to talk to my counselor again and contact the university that I'm planning on going to, but the thing is that I live in Miami but I really don't know if I'll still be living here by the time I get to my bachelors and I dont know where I might move... just out of Florida lol!...

Hi to everyone!! I just have one question. I am in my first year of college and I want to be a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) and so I went to the nursing dept of the community college I am attending and the couselor told me that I could get my AA in pre-nursing, and then go off the a university to get my BSN. Does this sound correct? I am just wondering because since its a degree in pre-nursing... and also in these two years coming up in which I will be completing my AA in pre-nursing, I am not taking any actual nursing class. He just told me that the classes I have to take are my Englishes and Maths (ofcourse) and then a critical thinking class, a nutrition class, and then like 3 chemistry classes and 4-5 biology classes with their corresponding labs. I'm not taking any nursing related classes; is it because I'll be taking them for when I get my bachelors or how does this work. I am just a little worried/confused since its a degree in pre-nursing. Thank you all for your help!!!!

Hi to everyone!! I just registered to this site and the reason for that is that I am a freshman in college but am already thinking of changing my major to nursing so I could become a certified nurse-midwife (which is the one that could practice in all 50 states, right?). I was just wondering what I have to do in order to become a midwife, and also if anyone knows how much the starting pay is. Also, does anyone know of a good mid-wife school in Florida, preferably close to Miami. Thank you!
