With more people turning from traditional
methods of medicine and healing and turning toward natural
and holistic methods, it is no surprise that the natural
health industry is booming. More pregnant women are
looking for a less impersonal birth experience as well.
This is where the nurse-midwife comes in. A midwife
is someone who is an expert in natural birth and who
is recognized as the most appropriate maternity care
provider for women. Midwives offer care, education,
counseling, and support of women and infants during
both the pregnancy and the postpartum period. Nurse-midwives
have an advantage, as they are also trained nurses,
and able to provide any additional special care that
may be needed.
Nurse-midwives may be employed by hospitals,
birth centers, or in private practices. Many midwives
practice in rural areas where there may not be a nearby
hospital or birth clinic, and also in poorer areas,
but they are also finding employment in more urban settings
as more people turn to a personal birth experience.
In order to practice as a nurse-midwife, the practitioner
must have their CNM (certified nurse-midwife) certification.
They are licensed in all fifty states, and must be certified
by the American College of Nurse-Midwifery. In order
to become certified, they must have their bachelor’s
degree in nursing, a master’s in midwifery, and
pass the certification exam.
The income of nurse-midwives varies widely.
Those based in rural or poor areas will likely make
less than those in urban areas. It also depends on the
capacity of their employment--income will differ between
those who work in hospitals and birth centers and those
who are employed in private practices. The outlook for
this career relies on a number of factors, but will
continue to increase in growth parallel to other similar
careers, especially as people look for a more personal
and caring birth experience.
