Certified Nurse Midwife Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a certified nurse midwife in Virginia?
To work as a certified nurse midwife in Virginia, you must hold an active license from the Virginia Board of Nursing under a multistate or Virginia-only registered nurse license, complete an accredited graduate-level nurse-midwifery program, and pass the American Midwifery Certification Board exam. Virginia also requires certified nurse midwifes to maintain a written practice agreement with a collaborating physician, which you arrange with your employing health system before seeing patients independently.
How much do certified nurse midwifes make in Virginia?
Certified nurse midwifes in Virginia earn a median of about $135,710 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $108,110 for the lowest 10% to over $164,450 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire certified nurse midwifes in Virginia?
Employers hiring certified nurse midwifes in Virginia right now include Centra Health, Centra Medical, and Sentara, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's large integrated health systems and academic medical centers account for most of the consistent volume, alongside federally qualified health centers serving rural and underserved communities.
Which Virginia cities have the most certified nurse midwife jobs?
The cities with the most certified nurse midwife openings in Virginia are Forest, Salem, and Reston. Northern Virginia and Richmond drive the largest share of postings because of their concentration of major health systems and academic medical centers, while Hampton Roads adds meaningful volume through Sentara Healthcare's regional hospital network and its community health programs.
Are there remote certified nurse midwife jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they're rare. Certified nurse midwifery is a hands-on clinical role, so the large majority of Virginia openings require on-site presence for labor support, deliveries, and exams. About 0% of certified nurse midwife openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions are almost exclusively in telehealth triage, prenatal education, or care coordination rather than direct delivery care.
How can I get hired as a certified nurse midwife in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a new-graduate certified nurse midwife residency or fellowship program, which Inova Health System, Virginia Commonwealth University Health, and Sentara Healthcare have offered to new AMCB-certified midwifes. If a residency is not immediately available, working as a labor and delivery RN at a Virginia hospital first is a well-recognized stepping stone that keeps you in the clinical environment and positions you for an internal hire once a certified nurse midwife opening arises.
