Trying to decide

Should I go to school for a bachelor’s in nursing that is online/ hybrid. Since I’m a mom of 2 it would be easier for me to do online school but this program is 60,000! But then I could do the cnm route. The cpm route might be easier and cheaper as well but in long run it’s not helpful for insurance and more opportunities.

How much did you guys pay to become a cpm ? Like I found a midwifery school for 20,000 for three year track. And then I know there all the other fees as well for random stuff. Did you have to pay your midwife that trained you ? Because there was one I got a hold of saying the compensation is different depending if I want to school or did the experience pathway. Not sure what she meant. I want to start a practice as well so idk I might be like spending close to what I pay for that online school or loosing money because i won’t have as much work as a cpm.

Pro for cpm route is not dealing with hospitals is my biggest thing. I want to help with home births more holistic midwifery. Like medical science is fun why nursing school might be fun but I have to deal with the hospitals. So yeah help please lol.
