Midwife Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a midwife in Texas?
To practice as a certified nurse-midwife in Texas, you must hold a registered nurse license issued or recognized by the Texas Board of Nursing, complete a graduate-level nurse-midwifery program accredited by ACME, and pass the AMCB certification examination. Texas also licenses direct-entry midwives through the Texas Midwifery Board under the Licensed Midwife credential for out-of-hospital birth settings, which requires completing an approved education program and passing the NARM Written Examination.
How much do midwifes make in Texas?
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 midwifes in Texas?
Employers hiring midwifes in Texas right now include Baylor College of Medicine and Baylor Scott & White Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's large integrated health systems and its network of federally qualified health centers in underserved regions consistently maintain open midwifery positions throughout the year.
Which Texas cities have the most midwife jobs?
San Antonio, Brenham, and Temple have the most midwife openings in Texas right now. Houston leads because of its dense concentration of major health systems and one of the country's busiest obstetric markets, Dallas-Fort Worth draws high volume from its expanding suburban hospital campuses, and San Antonio supports strong demand through its large military-affiliated medical centers and community health networks.
Are there remote midwife jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Midwifery is a hands-on clinical role centered on direct patient care, so most positions require on-site presence in a hospital, birth center, or clinic. About 0% of midwife openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those positions are typically in telehealth triage, lactation consulting, or care coordination roles rather than direct delivery support.
How can I get hired as a midwife in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to a new-graduate or transitional CNM fellowship program at a large Texas health system, with Baylor Scott & White Health and UT Health both running structured onboarding tracks for new midwifery graduates. Candidates who have strong labor and delivery RN experience, even without independent midwifery practice hours, are competitive for entry-level CNM positions in high-volume Texas hospitals. Completing your AMCB certification before your first application and securing your Texas Board of Nursing advanced practice authorization early removes the most common barrier employers cite.
Where can I find and apply to midwife jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to midwife jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring across the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your credentials and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
