Midwife Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a midwife in Virginia?

To practice as a certified nurse-midwife in Virginia, you must hold an active APRN license issued by the Virginia Board of Nursing and carry current certification from the American Midwifery Certification Board. The path starts with earning an accredited master's or doctoral degree in nurse-midwifery, passing the AMCB certification exam, and then applying for APRN licensure. Virginia also requires a written practice agreement with a collaborating physician to hold prescriptive authority.

How much do midwifes make in Virginia?

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 midwifes in Virginia?

Employers hiring 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 federally qualified health centers are among the most consistent sources of midwifery openings across both urban and rural communities.

Which Virginia cities have the most midwife jobs?

Forest, Norfolk, and Salem have the highest concentration of midwife openings in Virginia. The Northern Virginia and Richmond areas drive volume through large academic medical centers and regional hospital networks, while Hampton Roads listings are sustained by Sentara Healthcare and a dense network of military-affiliated and community health facilities serving a large and diverse population.

Are there remote midwife jobs in Virginia?

Yes, but they're rare. Clinical midwifery is a hands-on role centered on direct patient care during labor, delivery, and prenatal visits, so the vast majority of positions require on-site presence. About 0% of midwife openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles are typically in telehealth prenatal triage, lactation consultation, or midwifery education and curriculum development.

How can I get hired as a midwife in Virginia with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a new-graduate CNM residency or fellowship, and Virginia has several options through Inova Health System and VCU Health, both of which have historically offered structured transition-to-practice programs for newly certified midwives. Candidates who have labor and delivery RN experience hold a meaningful advantage, as many Virginia hospital systems hire L&D nurses directly into CNM roles upon AMCB certification. Completing your clinical hours at a Virginia site and obtaining your APRN license before graduation keeps you competitive for these programs from day one.

Where can I find and apply to midwife jobs in Virginia?

You can find and apply to midwife jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to Virginia employers. Search the listings, find the roles that match your credentials and location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
