Questions on midwives!!!!!!!!!!! :)?

It's rewarding but demanding. I considered it myself until I realized that particular area of nursing would have me "paged" at all hours of the night. Pay in the southeast is about 35K/year. There are multiple ways to enter a midwifery program, The most common is to obtain an RN and then intern. You can also major in pre-medical Biology and then intern while working on your RN, PA, or CNM. Of course, you deliver babies, but you also perform regular GYN/OB exams and work closely with the hospitals and clinics in your area. You will need a Biology or medical program base before you can start training as a CNM (and there are actually several kinds).....good luck!
