What is a Nurse Midwife?

Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM's) are Registered Nurses (RN's) with advanced education in women's health. Licensed in all 50 states, CNM's provide full scope primary women's health services, including gynecological exams, birth control, menopause care and child birth both in and out of hospitals. For several decades, numerous research studies have documented the outstanding quality of CNM care, both in and out of hospitals. With special training in teaching and listening and less pressure to practice high volume health care, nurse midwives are better able to meet the routine care needs of most women. Referrals and consultations are made as needed to surgical, medical or complementary health specialists.
