WHNP vs nurse midwife
HI, A CNM can do absolutely everything a WHNP can do and more, a CNM can delivery babies and the scope of practice of a CNM covers newborns up until 1 months of age. A CNM performs newborn assessments and can also with advance training circumsize newborns. I have never hear of a WHNP having this scope of practice and will take additional certification in infants or family practice. That being said a the legal issues with CNM is more. just having CNM after your name you malpractice insurance is through the roof even if you do not work in a setting where you delivery babies. You should shadow both a CNM and WHNP and see where which scope of practice suits you more.
