> Would the shortest route ( 3 years I believe) have the same privileges Well, the 3 year option no longer exists, but if you were educated in that route when it was available and practice in a state with prescriptive authority you will be able to prescribe if you meet the state's requirement for that prescriptive authority. Generally, even in states without prescriptive authority CNMs can write orders for medication in the hospital setting under written protocols established within the institution. Remember, the Core Competencies established by the ACNM for safe and competent clinical care are the same for everyone, no matter how long or short a time they spent in nursing school. We all come out of our programs with the same knowledge base and pass the same Boards examination. All ACNM midwifery programs include extensive courses on pharmacology. Cheri

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
