Actually, nurse-midwives are licensed as nurses in NC and approved to practice as CNMs. It is not a separate license. Applications are available through the NC Board of Nursing. Approval is granted by The Midwifery Joint Committee, which is composed of CNMs, MDs who do Obstetrics, and Representatives from both the Board of Nursing and Board of Medicine. CNMs in NC are required to practice in collaboration with a physician who also does obstetrics including obstetricians and family physicians. For more information, contact the NC Board of Nursing at http://www.ncbon.org/.
