Online Education in Nursing Midwifery

Become a Nurse Leader in Women's Healthcare

Nurse midwives are hands down some of the most unique healthcare professionals and considered one of the advanced practice nurse specialists. Turn your nursing clinical experience to date and your love of motherhood and infants into a career renovation. As a Nurse Midwife you'll have leadership responsibilities, care management responsibilities and opportunities to guide and educate women and families during childbearing years.

Truth is, only a fraction of the time spent as a Nurse Midwife is involved in direct childbirth-the remainder of your time is neo-natal and post-natal care for mother and child. It's rewarding, well-paying and a great way to forge lasting patient relationships.

Even better, at this level of nursing you'll have the option to work independently, free from micro-managing residents and over-paid physicians.
