Midwife Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a midwife in Minnesota?
To practice as a certified nurse-midwife in Minnesota, you must hold an active Advanced Practice Registered Nurse license issued by the Minnesota Board of Nursing with a CNM specialty designation. This requires completing an accredited graduate-level midwifery program and passing the American Midwifery Certification Board exam. Direct-entry certified professional midwives who attend out-of-hospital births must register with the Minnesota Department of Health under the state's licensed traditional midwife statutes.
How much do midwifes make in Minnesota?
Midwifes in Minnesota earn a median of about $134,810 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $110,050 for the lowest 10% to over $158,440 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire midwifes in Minnesota?
Minnesota midwife roles are posted by Allina Health, Fairview Health Services, and Oakdale OBGYN and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Minnesota's integrated health systems tend to recruit CNMs into salaried employed models tied to their OB and women's health service lines.
Which Minnesota cities have the most midwife jobs?
Woodbury, Saint Paul, and Coon Rapids have the highest concentration of midwife openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities dominate simply by population density and the presence of large multi-hospital systems, while Rochester's hiring is driven by Mayo Clinic's robust women's and maternal health programs, and Duluth openings reflect Essentia Health's regional network serving northern Minnesota and the Lake Superior corridor.
Are there remote midwife jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of midwife openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, which reflects the fundamentally hands-on nature of clinical midwifery practice. The most realistic remote component is telehealth prenatal or postpartum follow-up appointments, which some Minnesota health systems have folded into hybrid CNM roles alongside in-person delivery coverage.
How can I get hired as a midwife in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic path for new graduates is applying directly to new-grad CNM residency or fellowship programs run by large Minnesota health systems, where Allina Health and HealthPartners have historically offered structured transition-to-practice programs for midwives entering labor and delivery. Candidates who completed clinical rotations at Minnesota facilities have a measurable edge in hiring. Labor and delivery RN experience is the most common adjacent role that opens the door to CNM positions, and holding an active Minnesota APRN license before applying removes a significant delay from the credentialing process.
Where can I find and apply to midwife jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to midwife jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings, find the roles that match your credentials and preferred setting, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
