What is Certified
Nurse-Midwife (CNM)? |
|
CNMs can provide
contraceptive and preconception counseling along with care during
pregnancy, labor and birth. The majority of CNMs deliver babies in the hospital and are
members of a multi-disciplinary team. Nurse-midwives also
provide gynecological services from adolescence to menopause and beyond.
They can do a complete physical exam,
order screening tests such as pap smears, mammograms and blood tests. As Advance
Practice Nurses (APNs) they are also licensed to
prescribe medication.
