No, it is a sentence. Mary and the nurse midwives are people. They built clinics.
There are several types of midwives, lay midwives, certified nurse-midwives and certified midwives. Visit acnm.org for more information on qualifications and education.

Usually they are called a neonatal nurse. :o) You're probably thinking of a neo-natal nurse.
APRN is an advanced practice nurse. These include nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, and clinical nurse specialists.
Look for midwives or nurse practitioners who advertise as homeopathic. There are some in most major cities, but the West Coast has the most.
No, there are alot of "Nurse Midwives" but you dont have to be a nurse to be one. just get your schooling and alot of experence -the Philippines are a great place to go for that, I delivered over 100 babies there within 6 months- dont put yourself through the trouble of becomeing a nurse then a midwife. Nurse Midwives are people that were nurses then took up midwifery. Good Luck!
Nurse Practitioners are considered "Mid-level Providers/Practitioners," along with Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Nurse Midwives, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and Physician Assistants. Thus, yes they are registered and licensed.
In the United States, the abbreviation is CNM, for certified nurse-midwife. In Canada, the abbreviation is RM, for registered midwife (though this differs from the U.S. because it can apply to non-nurse midwives.)
Nurse-Midwives (CNM) and Nurse Practitioners (NP) are both Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) with a Master's degree in nursing (MSN). There are two other types of APNs, Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) and Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS). All four types of APNs take some of the same basic MSN classes such as pathophysiology, pharmacology, advanced physical assessment, research, theory, etc. After these basic classes students specialize as Midwives, NPs, CRNAs or CNSs. Nurse-Midwives are not nurse practitioners, however they can perform some of the same functions as NPs in the birth setting such as ordering diagnostic tests, and writing related prescriptions. Some CNMs may choose to become certified as NPs by going back to school and taking the classes and clinical rotations NPs take, or vice versa some NPs may later decide to become certified as CNMs. In 2015, all APNs, including nurse practitioners and nurse-midwives, will be required to graduate with the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) instead of the master's (MSN) degree, in order to become certified.
No, a registered nurse cannot prescribe birth control or any other medications in the United States. Only doctors, nurse practitioners, or nurse midwives can prescribe medications.
