  • Title: Trends in nurse-midwifery. Results of the 1988 ACNM Division of Research Mini-Survey.
    Author: Lehrman EJ, Paine LL.
    Journal: J Nurse Midwifery; 1990; 35(4):192-203. PubMed ID: 2398405.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the 1988 Mini-Survey was the collection of up-to-date data from the ACNM membership, focusing on nurse-midwifery income. These were the last data collected about CNMs for the 1980 decade. The final survey sample included 1,735 CNMs and 67 SNMs; 70.6% of the CNMs were in clinical practice. The demographic, employment, and income findings are presented for all CNM respondents by ACNM region of residence and for CNMs in full-scope clinical nurse-midwifery practice. Additional income findings for CNMs working full time and part time are also presented by ACNM region of residence, as well as by selected individual states. Nurse-midwifery income is compared with nursing income during the same time period. Demographic and/or employment characteristics are presented for CNMs doing home births, for student nurse-midwives, for nurse-midwifery faculty, and for nurse-midwives with doctorates. In surveys done from 1984 to 1988, the mean full-time CNM annual income increased by +10,000. The 1988 Survey data are now approximately two years old and the impact of the recent nursing shortage on both nursing and nurse-midwifery salaries was not necessarily reflected in these data.
