Becoming a midwife

Becoming a midwife?
I would like to become a midwife, and I was wondering if someone could help me out with something. I want to start out being an LPN and then move on from there. My question is, do I have to get my Bachelor's in nursing before applying to a midwife program or will and Associate's degree (RN) work? Also, are there any websites that have information on obtaining this degree, and information about schools that offer it in the USA.

Midwife is a MSN degree. To safe time.... you should start with a BA in Nursing and move into MSN afterwards. If you choose the LPN (2yr program) route, you will need an additional 4 yrs for BA and 2yrs (MSN) to complete your degree. You can find all these information online via google...... just search for "Master of Science Nursing Midwifery".
