Hello all. I finished my degree in 2018 in London. Due to some life events, I never did my preceptorship or used my degree in any way. I know this was a waste of my skills and I am now thinking about going into midwifery but unsure where to start. I know I would have to retrain and upskill but has anyone done this before and have advice? Or did anyone qualify in midwifery and then go into another field? I am looking for some advice or options as In currently feeling lost and like I wasted my degree. Thank you for reading this far :) submitted by /u/Greedy-Explorer7445 [visit reddit] [comment ..read more

Hi folks! I am an RN wanting to pursue my CNM (in the US). I have run into a snafu with applying for graduate programs that my BSN program was accredited by the NLN CNEA but schools are rejecting me for not having a BSN from a school accredited by CCNE or ACEN. I have even inquired about getting an MSN from a CCNE/ACEN accredited program and transferring as a post-grad certificate student and was shot down for that as well. Does anyone have any insight, creative solutions, or schools? With these accreditation restrictions Frontier, University of Colorado, and Georgetown are off the table. su ..read more

Hello I’ve always know about midwifery but I never considered it until now I just wanted to know some of the pros and the cons of midwifery. I live in Texas and I have no degree as of right now if that changes anything. submitted by /u/Mooshroomfairy [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm interested in becoming a midwife in Canada but I'm unsure on what education I should pursue, and whether or not I should become a nurse midwife. I'm wondering if a CNM is "better" than a CPM. I'm looking for any advice anyone can give me on the subject. I know that I want to have a career I can look back on and be proud of, and I understand that can be the truth for either pathway, but I'd like to hear what you have to say! submitted by /u/bigfartbiggerheart [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

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
