Certified Nurse Midwife Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a certified nurse midwife in Texas?
To become a certified nurse midwife in Texas, you must first hold an active registered nurse license with the Texas Board of Nursing, complete an accredited graduate-level nurse-midwifery program, and pass the American Midwifery Certification Board exam. Texas requires CNMs to maintain a written collaborative practice agreement with a supervising physician to prescribe medications and practice independently. The Texas Board of Nursing handles advanced practice registration, and CNMs are recognized under the state's Advanced Practice Registered Nurse framework.
How much do certified nurse midwifes make in Texas?
Certified nurse midwifes in Texas earn a median of about $123,380 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $90,260 for the lowest 10% to over $153,100 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire certified nurse midwifes in Texas?
Employers hiring certified nurse midwifes in Texas right now include Diana Health, CHRISTUS Health, and Peterson Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Texas's large integrated health systems and federally qualified health centers tend to hire the most consistently, especially for roles in urban and underserved rural communities.
Which Texas cities have the most certified nurse midwife jobs?
Dallas, Arlington, and San Antonio have the most certified nurse midwife openings in Texas. Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth drive the largest share of postings due to their dense concentration of major hospital systems and academic medical centers, while San Antonio's strong military-connected healthcare infrastructure and growing civilian health sector add consistent demand in that metro.
Are there remote certified nurse midwife jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. About 40% of certified nurse midwife openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, which reflects how hands-on clinical care defines most of the role. The portions most likely to shift remote are telehealth prenatal consultations and postpartum follow-up visits, which some Texas health systems and digital health employers now offer as standalone positions.
How can I get hired as a certified nurse midwife in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a new-graduate CNM residency or fellowship, and Texas has several options worth targeting directly. Baylor Scott & White Health and UT Health San Antonio both offer structured onboarding programs for new-credential midwives. Birth centers affiliated with Certified Nurse-Midwife practices in Austin and Houston often hire new graduates into supervised roles. Candidates who completed clinical rotations at a Texas facility have a clear advantage, as do those with prior labor and delivery RN experience, which is the most common lateral move into a first CNM position.
