Nurse-Midwifery/Family Nurse Practitioner

 

  Vanderbilt School of Nursing has recently obtained new funding from HRSA to support midwifery students. Nurse-midwifery students may qualify for MEADOW funding and dual nurse-midwifery/family nurse-practitioner students may qualify for both MEADOW and CAP funding. 

Do you want to practice as a nurse-midwife who is also prepared as a family nurse practitioner to care for children and families – delivering comprehensive care to individuals from preconception through adulthood? This dual-focus specialty will prepare you. It’s especially popular among those choosing to work in rural or international locations.

In accordance with Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education policies and the US Department of Education’s requirements, Vanderbilt University School of Nursing is seeking comments related to the continuing accreditation of their nurse-midwifery program. Your comments will be included with the materials submitted for review by the Board of Review. All written comments should be sent to the attention of Heather L. Maurer, ACME executive director acme@acnm.org, or mailed to ACME, 8403 Colesville Rd., Suite 1550, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
