Florida’s Midwifery Practice Act allows for Advanced Standing to be granted for students with prior nursing education. Education will be assessed on an individual basis and credit will be granted when appropriate. If credit is granted, both education time and tuition will be reduced proportionately. “In no case shall the training be reduced to a period of less than 2 years” F.S.467.009 (2). Graduates from the Midwifery Program Modified for Registered Nurses will receive a Diploma.
