However, there are significant differences in the day-to-day life of HR professionals vs. social workers, including work environment, schedule, who you’ll work with, and types of problems you’ll be solving.
Learn more about the difference between human resources and social work careers.

Both WHNP and certified nurse midwives (CNM) are advanced practice nurses with specialized roles for women, but they have unique focuses in terms of scope of practice.
Women’s health nurse practitioners specialize in providing primary health care to women across the lifespan, while nurse midwives are more focused strictly on the pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Midwives may deliver babies, but WHNP cannot.
Each has their own unique certification and educational requirements, as well as differences in salary potential.

Waived Enrollment FeeWhen I started going to school at Herzing, I was stuck at a dead-end job. The only light at the end of the tunnel was my education. I knew that a degree in the medical field would provide me with a lot of opportunities in the future. My advice for others is to never give up on yourself. Earning your degree is difficult, but so very rewarding.
