Yeah, right? Midwives? This is The United States of America in the 21st. century for crying out loud. It’s not 1840.

To be a Nurse-Midwife in the US requires

1. A Master's in Nursing degree (or higher) beyond the BSN level;
2. Passing the CNM credential from the Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME);
3. Passing the Advanced Practice State Licensure as a Certified Nurse-Midwife;
4. Maintaining CNM Certification and State Licensure through Continuing Education.

You're right, it's not 1840.

I work in a hospital in NJ. I've worked in two others. Not a care giver, a maintenance guy. I have never heard of midwives being employed in L&D. (labor& delivery).
