Best Answer

Midwifery is a specialised medical practise related to childbirth. Nursing is a general medical care, though some nursing is specialised on hospital wards.

Are midwifing and nursing the same job?

No, midwifery is the field of delivering infants and providing prenatal care to mothers. Midwifery is a part of the nursing field in general but it isn't the task of a RN, in order to be a midwife you have to be a CNM (certified nurse midwife). If you're asking about breastfeeding, that is also different from midwifery since breastfeeding is the act of feeding the child.

What qualification do midwife's need?

It depends where you want to practice. In Australia you can do a Bachelor of Nursing (makes you a Registered Nurse) then do Post Grad studies in Midwifery. There is, however, a university in Queensland (Australian State) that offers a Bachelor of Midwifery without a prerequisite for a Bachelor of Nursing. Good luck.
