Yes. A midwife degree is a concentration after the completion of the RN (registered nurse). In the US, it typically takes 2.5 years to obtain the initial degree. The midwife classification can take 2-3 years of additional study.

It depends on the type of midwife. There are two main ones: Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM) and Certified Professional Midwives (CPM).

CNMs are registered nurses (RNs) with an advanced degree, like Masters of Science in Nursing.

CPMs go through training and a certification program set by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM). Degrees are not a requirement.

Licensing laws of midwives vary by state.
