What is the reality of the NP job outlook?

[Katie71275]

I am still an ADN student(grad May 2013), but have been recently researching my options.

I would really like to obtain my CNM, but it's looking like it might be best to actually have the NP/CNM license. I am considering Frontier University for my CNM and then DNP eventually(such as several years down the road).

Can anyone tell me what the actual job outlook is for NP's(and/or CNM). Are they finding jobs quickly? How is the pay?

My passion is working with women, so my ultimate goal is working similar to what an OB/GYN would do, including hospital deliveries(or birth center if available)....Is this in the NP scope of job duties?

Thanks for any info!
