I’m currently in California. Wondering what the salary outcome is for midwives without a nursing degree? Is it viable to stay a midwife without becoming a nurse midwife? I don’t have any bachelors degree in anything, but here’s two choices I can take if I wanted to: Midwife school first and hopefully make a decent income and save up so I can do the nursing program out of community college, which would be a two-year program. The pros would be having time to take pre requisites and go to a nurse midwife school after. Cons are possibly a lower salary for a few years, midwife bachelors isn’t ty ..read more

Posting this on r/nursing as well. New to reddit so sorry if this is formatted wrong. I would likely follow a family member's footsteps and eventually become an NP (women's health concentration) along with getting my RNM certification. I'm aware I have to work for at least a few years as just an RN before I can go back to school for my NP and RNM. My question for ya'll is, taking into consideration my background, would I be making the right choice in pursuing nursing? Will it be too chaotic for me to have a decent social life outside of work? Will I likely be stuck for many years doing unfulf ..read more

Hi, so I just have a few questions that I can’t quite find on google, I’m not sure if I’m just not phrasing my searches correctly but I literally can’t find exactly what I’m looking for, so if anyone can help that would be amazing! So I want to go to uni to be a midwife! I live in the UK. I first need to go back and get my Maths GCSE and then take a few courses in college to meet the requirements for the uni I’m hopefully going to apply for so realistically I won’t be going to uni for at least 1-2 years. I just really wanted to give myself a bit of a head start to help me understand things be ..read more

Hi all! I'm a traditional undergrad BSN student just finishing up my first year of actual nursing school (I'm a junior). As I get closer to graduating, I'm getting really anxious about my grades. I keep looking at the GPA requirements for CNM schools I hope to eventually attend (not like Yale or anything, but hopefully a good in person program), and I'm definitely at the lower end of the GPA scales for lots of schools (I'm like a 3.4ish). I know I 100% want to be a midwife--that's why I decided to go to nursing school! My question is--how important is nursing school GPA? Will it totally wreck ..read more

Hi community, Could you share your opinion and your practices with oxytocin for labor induction? Do you use it and how do you decide when to use prostaglandins?
