How is your quality of life while being a Nurse Practitioner?
Can you live comfortably and not worry about how bills will be paid? Can you enjoy expensive vacations and live a happy life? Are you able to afford a pretty nice house in a nice neighborhood? I'm 15 years old and I live a great life but my parents are always worried about money and in the future, I want to be able to not think about money as much as they do.
Is becoming a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife) a viable career path?
Hi everyone, I'm a high school student who is exploring different options right now. I have always been interested in midwifery but I don't want to go into nursing and it seems like CNMs are the only type of midwife I see talked about. Because I have no interest in getting a nursing degree, being a part of the modern healthcare system, or working in hospitals, I don't want to be a CNM. However, it seems like there's a lot of negativity about CPMs, specifically that they don't have enough education or credentials, or that they're not in high demand or have high pay. Does anyone with experience being a CPM (or CM, L/DEM, doula, etc) want to chime in with your thoughts about taking this career path? What was the process like, is it worth it, does it pay well, is it looked down upon in comparison to CNMs...? Thanks in advance!

I want to become a Licensed Midwife, but don’t know where to start?
I am currently going into my second year of college this upcoming fall semester as a Biology major. I wanted to become a doctor, but got conflicted. After taking time to reflect on my future and what I ACTUALLY want, I’ve decided to go into the Midwifery route! I am attending a community college and plan to transfer in a year or two, definitely a Cal State (fullerton, long beach, l.a or northridge). Only thing is, I don’t know where to start. My counselor told me it would be best to switch my majors but don’t know if I should go into Nursing or health science?! I am lost and in need of assistance please :( #college #midwifery

What is the most difficult aspect of living your life on-call, and how do you cope with it?

So, I would like to learn more about others' experiences with the on-call life, particularly what they found to be the hardest part for them and what coping methods they have found that work (or don't work) for them. #midwifery #homebirth #oncall #midwife #healthcare
New student, Medical Assistant! What is the BEST path to take to be a midwife?
I'm 32yrs old and a mother of 2 boys! I've wanted to help deliver babies since I can remember. I have witnessed two babies to friends and one to my sister be born. It was AMAZING!!! I've been out of Hight School for 16yrs now. So I feel very lost when it comes to the best choices regarding school. I have many friends that are nurses but not in the same path. Asking them for advise really only confused me more. I don't want to make the wrong choices when it comes to school and what classes to take. What is my best path, with the goal of being a midwife or labor and delivery nurse? #doctors #nurse-midwife #midwifery
