WHNPs

Specializes in Maternal Child Health, GYN.

Is anyone willing to recommend a great WHNP program? Seems like they are few in number compared to the other NP programs.

What is the job market and salaries like for WHNPs? Is this a growing or a diminishing specialty? I am curious. I work in Maternal Child Health & GYN and thoroughly enjoy what I do. While I do not work in Labor & Delivery and am not particularly interested in that segment of the specialty, I have considered becoming a WHNP. I welcome your thoughts and suggestions.

I believe Frontier has a WHNP program - it's predominant online, with a few visits to Kentucky.

I have considered going back for a WHNP - I work in an OB/Gyn clinic with midwives, as the one fulltime nurse. I wouldn't mind working *just* clinic as an NP, doing prenatal and Gyn. But that's what it would be - clinic, prenatal and gyn. Lots and lots of gyn.

That's what I like too, I like prenatal and the GYN. Wouldn't mind a clinic setting, I currently work in the hospital. We have midwives and they do deliveries but I can do without that.
