Area of Science:

Healthcare Workforce Studies
Nursing and Midwifery Practice

Background:

Midwives in Connecticut require state-specific data on compensation, benefits, work hours, and scope of practice.
A lack of detailed workforce information hinders professional development and fair contract negotiation.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide comprehensive data on the work, services, and compensation of midwives in Connecticut.
To inform midwives about current practice patterns and earning potential within the state.

Main Methods:

A 53-question online survey was administered to licensed Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) in Connecticut.
Data collection occurred between October 2021 and February 2022, covering compensation, benefits, practice patterns, and precepting.

Main Results:

Full-time salaried CNMs in Connecticut reported compensation exceeding the national average.
The majority of CNMs work 40 hours or less per week, often in physician-owned private practices.
A significant portion of surveyed CNMs serve as preceptors for midwifery students.

Conclusions:

This study offers crucial data for midwives in Connecticut negotiating contracts, ensuring fair compensation and work hours.
The findings serve as a model for other states seeking to gather and share similar midwifery workforce data.
