uk midwife

[selina004]

hi all,

I am a registered midwife (RM) in the UK and I hopefully will be moving to Hawaii soon. What I would like to know is, if my qualifications here will qualify me to work there. If not what do I need to do to practice as a midwife.

thanks

Sel

Dear Suzanne4 - on my CES report it states that my training is comparable to Registered nurse in the usa and certified nurse-midwife in the united states. I have since passes the nclex and have my BON arizona license RN how would I goabout getting a CNM license?

Being a first time mom it is soooo scarey as you dont know what to expect. i remember those feelings and thoughts very well..The midwife is totally out of order telling your friend these things. I advise your friend to read books or get info off the net on pregnancy and childbirth. I hope she is ok and remember there are people out there other than the awful midwife who have been through prenancy and child birth who can advise and reassure her. Good luck hope all goes well with your friend.

She has amny, many friends who have talked with her about the misinformation she has been getting and I think she is slowly realizing that it may not be as bad as she thinks it will be. Thank you for clearing that up for me. I have reassured her that her midwive isn't typical of others and have urged her to speak with her primary MD about her fears.
