Nurse midwives are part of a subset known as “advanced practice registered nurses” (APRNs). Nurse midwives assist women in reproductive health by performing gynecological exams, offering prenatal care, and delivering babies. As with most of the other professions on this list, nurse midwives consult with physicians frequently to coordinate patients’ treatment.
