How is your quality of life while being a Nurse Practitioner?
Can you live comfortably and not worry about how bills will be paid? Can you enjoy expensive vacations and live a happy life? Are you able to afford a pretty nice house in a nice neighborhood? I'm 15 years old and I live a great life but my parents are always worried about money and in the future, I want to be able to not think about money as much as they do.
Is becoming a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife) a viable career path?
Hi everyone, I'm a high school student who is exploring different options right now. I have always been interested in midwifery but I don't want to go into nursing and it seems like CNMs are the only type of midwife I see talked about. Because I have no interest in getting a nursing degree, being a part of the modern healthcare system, or working in hospitals, I don't want to be a CNM. However, it seems like there's a lot of negativity about CPMs, specifically that they don't have enough education or credentials, or that they're not in high demand or have high pay. Does anyone with experience being a CPM (or CM, L/DEM, doula, etc) want to chime in with your thoughts about taking this career path? What was the process like, is it worth it, does it pay well, is it looked down upon in comparison to CNMs...? Thanks in advance!

I want to become a Licensed Midwife, but don’t know where to start?
I am currently going into my second year of college this upcoming fall semester as a Biology major. I wanted to become a doctor, but got conflicted. After taking time to reflect on my future and what I ACTUALLY want, I’ve decided to go into the Midwifery route! I am attending a community college and plan to transfer in a year or two, definitely a Cal State (fullerton, long beach, l.a or northridge). Only thing is, I don’t know where to start. My counselor told me it would be best to switch my majors but don’t know if I should go into Nursing or health science?! I am lost and in need of assistance please :( #college #midwifery
