Where would I find a list of states that require a midwife to be licensed?
ByI know there are several states that require a midwife to also be a licensed nurse practitioner. However I also know that in other states, a woman is allowed to deliver babies as women have for centuries: with her experience, rather than a degree. However, I need a citeable source for this. Help?
