A great trend has begun - are Maryland CNMs next?

A great article about the autonomy of Nurse Practitioners to practice without the requirement of physician and mentions nurse-midwives. http://takingnote.tcf.org/2010/04/the-battle-over-letting-nurse-practitioners-provide-primary-care-.html#more

Maryland is joining other states in allowing Nurse Practitioners to practice without the requirement of a physician approving their scope of practice. See our new Maryland law below:

Now, we just need Maryland Friends of Midwives to help make this a reality for our Certified Nurse Midwives in Maryland too. Please join us and let's make that happen!
