What are the differences between a certificate and Masters degree when I try to find employment?
As a clinical provider, there is no difference between a certificate or Master’s prepared nurse-midwife, or a graduate of a nurse-midwifery or midwifery education program. However, the number of states or employers who require nurse-midwives to be Master’s prepared in order to practice is increasing, and by 2010, all graduates of midwifery education programs will be required to have a Master’s degree in order to be eligible to take the national certifying exam offered by the American Midwifery Certification Board.
