As of December 6, 2006, John Hopkins began offering a Master of Science in Nurse Midwifery program. Not only does a nurse midwife do the obvious-deliver babies, a nurse midwife can also provide well woman care.
Nearly 25 years ago I had the first of 5 home births. I liked that my nurse midwife could prescribe medication and accompany me to a hospital if necessary. Back then nurse midwives were pretty uncommon and didn’t even have a listing in the phone book! Midwifery has been around for a long time and it looks like they just got a firm foot in the future.
