CNM Jobs Overview
In the U.S., specialized advanced practice nurses called certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) deliver 8% of the babies born here. People in CNM jobs also conduct gynecological exams, teach family planning, and provide prenatal care. A CNM can be a woman’s primary care physician or work in conjunction with a PCP to provide maternity care.
Certified nurse midwives work in a wide range of places. Most CNMs are in hospitals, where most U.S. babies are born. They can also work at birthing centers or deliver babies in home births. A CNM job is ideal for someone who wants to work in healthcare and be an entrepreneur since midwives can be independent contractors or may open their own practice.

CNM Education and Skills
CNMs have graduate-level midwifery degrees, and some go on to achieve doctoral degrees. They start their journey by moving up the nursing ranks to become an advanced practice registered nurse. During that course of study, they choose midwifery as their specialty. To be certified as a CNM, they take advanced classes and get clinical experience, followed by passing a certification exam administered by the American Midwifery Certification Board. A CNM curriculum has classes that include:
- advanced health assessment
- pathophysiology
- pharmacology
- gynecology
- care of newborns
- intrapartum and postpartum care
Clinical experience is truly “hands-on,” with student nurses typically working 32-hours a week for 16 weeks. During this time, they may participate in delivering as many as 40 births.
Along with education and field experience, there are some personal characteristics that are vital to CNM jobs. These include communication and interpersonal skills, compassion, critical thinking, leadership, and resourcefulness.

Interviewing for a CNM Job
Think of a CNM interview as a way to showcase your knowledge and experience as a certified nurse-midwife. Along with asking about what you’ve learned and done, an interviewer may throw you some curveballs. Behavioral interview questions help the interviewer assess how you would handle specific situations. Examples of behavioral interview questions include:
- Tell me about a time when you had to resolve a conflict with a coworker.
- Tell me about a time that you made a mistake at work. How did you resolve your error?
- Tell me about your greatest professional achievement to date.
