ABOUT This beautiful pendant features the letters CNM (Certified Nurse-Midwife) over the medical caduceus symbol, two serpents coiled around the medical rod with wings. A nurse-midwife is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in women’s reproductive health and childbirth. In addition to attending births, they perform annual exams, give counseling, and write prescriptions. The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM)—a professional organization representing certified midwives (CMs) and certified nurse-midwives (CNMs)—reports that 53.3% of CMs/CNMs identify reproductive care as their main responsibility, while 33.1% report that it’s primary healthcare. While some believe midwives work typically on home births, 94.9% of all CM/CNM-attended births occurred in hospitals and only 2.5% in homes. In 2012, midwives attended 313,846 births in the U.S., a significant increase over the previous year despite a decrease in overall births. Furthermore, while these professionals may operate independently, over 50% of CMs/CNMs list private practices or hospitals as their employers and in all 50 states, Medicaid reimbursement for midwifery is mandatory. So what is the difference between a CM and a CNM? According to the ACNM, the vast majority of midwives in the U.S. are CNMs. As of March 2014 there were 11,192 CNMs and only 81 CMs. The ACNM reports that CM is a “newer, equivalent path to midwifery,” but they are only authorized to practice in five states: Delaware, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. This article focuses on CNMs. Certification or licensure is essential for practice as a nurse midwife in most states and institutions as there are a number of best practices and potential birth-related complications which require specialized training.
