Thank you so much! I feel like I am over thinking the future a bit but I think I just want to find out now just incase. New Zealand is beautiful and with beautiful accents to admire HAHA! Thank you again!

Thank you so much! At least I can have a look at two schools now. I was starting to get confused at all the school that are available but I didn't want to pick just any school. Thank you again!

Good Morning everyone! I am currently a nursing student (BSN) and am wondering about how to become a Midwife. I looked thru the internet and some universities give just a CNM and some will provide an MSN with a CNM. What I am wondering is, if there is a reason to choose one or the other? I spoke to a Midwife and she states that the only reason toward wanting an MSN with a CNM is once you feel like you are "too old to run around" then you can stay in OB to do "PAPs all day". At least that is what she told me. I am wondering if a person that is in a program or a person that is already a Midwife,can tell me if that statement is true? If there is more to it? I don't know if any of that makes sense. I feel like there could be more to it than just wanting to slow down your time. I am also wondering which are the top programs out there? I again looked thru the internet and some of the websites have not been updated. I wonder if any of you know of the top programs for MSN with CNM or just a CNM. I am willing to move if there are no online classes. I will be finishing my BSN in the Spring of 2016 anyway, so that gives me time to find a means to go. I live in the Boston area and although my family is here, I need to do what is best for the degree I want. I know that some programs need experience in L & D but, does it have to be only as a nurse? Or can it be as a CNA or Doula? I know how hard it is to get a job directly out of school into L & D, so this is why I am asking. I know this might be a little much but have any of you thought about moving out of the US to work as a Midwife? I do not know why but I have been having an urge to move out and start new after my education is done. How would that work? Would getting a degree here cause trouble over seas? Lets say I decided somewhere like Italy or Australia? Thank you for all your help!
