In the United States, nurse-midwives are advance practice nurses (nurse practitioners). This requires the minimum of the master's degree in nursing. However, first you need to become a registered nurse.


There are three options to become a registered nurse as follows.

  • diploma program (typically three years, not recommended for individuals who do not have an already existing degree)
  • associate degree (two years as a full-time student once the student starts the professional phase of the program)
  • bachelor's degree (BSN) (four years as a full-time student)

How many days does a midwife have to watch a mother and the baby?

I think you can have your midwife around for as long as you need her. I think you can have her after the baby comes. A midwife will help with the baby during the period right after birth when the mother is tired.
