Why I Want For A Midwife

I am pleased to state that I have been a registered nurse for forty years. At this moment, I continue working in nursing while pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. My intended month of completion is October 2012. My experience in nursing education has motivated me to continue my education and pursue a Masters degree in a nursing related field commencing in 2013. Thus, in terms of my career planning, my education is a crucial part to my professional development. Extending and deepening one's education, especially within the career field of one's choice, can only bring upon additional professional opportunities as well as opportunities for personal growth. My career planning includes building upon my decades of experience in obstetrics, my particular area of specialty, expertise, and passion, with the assistance and addition of higher education. I believe in terms of career planning, my strengths include foresight, preparation, internal motivation, and focus.

“Constant attention by a good nurse may be just as important as a major operation by a surgeon.” There was a girl who had always wanted to become one of importance, education, and also a contributor in her community. She feels that this occupation will assist her in living comfortably, providing for her family, and will be something she will enjoy doing. The career of a Registered Nurse is a challenging and important career, because of the importance one holds within a community. The research will describe the career of a Registered Nurse, what is required to become a successful, and the impact this career has on society.

At the start of the health and social care course I knew that I wanted a career working within the health or social care sector. From working with local authorities (such as schools, elderly care home) I have learned how to communicate effectively with different service users. Professionally I have learned the importance of guidelines within a health and social care sector. I know and understand the relevant that I am able to promote later within my career with working with service users.

Working in women’s health has always been one of her interests. She was happy to join Women Partners in Health and work with patients and our Austin obgyns. “I love the patient interaction, spending time with the patient and coming up with solutions and treatment plans for them.”

When I first encountered midwifery in England, during my own pregnancy through kind and compassionate midwives who empowered me, I instantly knew that it was a career I wanted to pursue. I am currently in my final year of a BSc Midwifery 3 year’s degree course at Middlesex University London. I am completing my clinical placement at the Royal Free Hospital, which is part of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust.

I can also see myself starting my nursing career in Desert Regional Medical Center’s Women and Infants’ Center. During my Obstetrics rotation at Balboa Naval Medical Center, I assisted in vaginal deliveries by supporting patients through each stage of labor and witnessed emergency C-sections. I educated postpartum moms on breastfeeding, nutrition, vaginal care, and neonatal care. In the nursery, I had the pleasure of performing neonatal assessments and soothing neonates during circumcisions. Furthermore, during my Community Health rotation, I worked with pregnant teenagers and Spanish-speaking pregnant women to educate them on the normal physiological changes during pregnancy and on the expected physical changes after labor. I also monitored the growth and development of babies during home visits and performed depression and abuse screenings on new mothers. I truly enjoy the privilege of welcoming new lives into this world, nurturing the small and fragile to health, and supporting parents through a crucial phase in their

Every book has a message to get across. Some are more obvious than others but no matter what it is an important lesson about life. In the book The Midwifes Apprentice by Caren Cushman the protagonist Alyce struggles against the troubles of her horrid life and unknown past. Alyce is an orphan who is made fun of by the entire village, leaving her hopeless for a new start.

I became interested in becoming a midwife because I have always loved babies and children. I have always wanted to experience the miracle of life. The Senior Project I am going to be doing is making various posters, all containing a birthing methods, exercises and what to do if an emergency occurs. My research paper will describe the birthing methods, the employment, the history of midwifery, and the certification process to becoming

Midwives are able to work in homes, clinics, and hospitals but there are risks of childbirth at home. If complications arise outside of the midwives’ abilities, providers in the hospital must be contacted (AWHONN Executive Board, 2016). This is another situation where interprofessional care would be incorporated.

Since fourteen years old, I have had a desire and ambition to become a registered nurse who makes a real and positive difference in people’s lives. At first, my inspiration came from my aunt who has been a labor and delivery nurse for 10 years. She would share stories about pre-mature babies being brought into the world and the role she took in giving that infant the best possible chance at life. Aside from my aunt’s stories, I find myself drawn to the nursing profession for a few other reasons. First of all, I have always had an interest in caring for people of all ranges of age.

Steven Amsterdam once said, “Nursing demands vigilance about people. The sights and smells that a patient offers, their movements and their offhand comments all contribute crucial information to understanding what they need. Training and experience heighten one 's ability to see what needs to be seen.” As a child I was given adult responsibilities, which began when my very first nephew was born. By the age of 7 I was changing his diapers, making him bottles, and caring for him and i couldn’t think of any better career than getting to work with babies all day. I always carry the compassion and desire to help others and nothing would be more rewarding than being able to put my skills to action. The career of a Neonatal Nurse is exciting and challenging, because one is in charge of all new babies being born. The research will describe the career of a Neonatal Nurse, what is required to become successful and the impact this career has on society.

This, along with gaining a Degree in Health and Social Care with Guidance and counselling in 2015, have empowered me to more confident to provide services for people regardless of age, gender, race or disabilities as every individual has the right to have access to services that are available to them.

Why are Obstetrician –Gynecologist and Certified Nurse Midwives are essential to life? Well obstetricians care for pregnant women and deliver babies; gynecologists specialize in the reproduce systems of women. Midwife are advance practice registered nurses who provide counseling and care during pre-conception, pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. I myself want to become an OB/GYN, that’s why I’m so engaged into writing this paper.

To truly imbody the philosophy of midwifery and ability to be with women and their whanau, a midwife’s practice must imbody the underpinning threads of midwifery. She must retain midwifery wisdom, scientific knowledge and acknowledgement of evidence based practice to recognise the abnormal and a midwives scope of practice (New Zealand College of Midwives, 2007). Normality throughout a woman’s childbearing continum needs to be promoted and facilitated, but a midwife must also be able to recognise the abnormal and the have the ability to competently provide care when situations become complicated. This semester has been challenging and eye-opening as I explore the complexity of abnormal and the sometimes fine line between it, and normal. My knowledge and practice reasoning has been tested as I expand my abilities to assess, anticipate and competently respond to changing clinical pictures. I have felt a heavy sense of responsibility and accountibility as I have been involved in increasingly complex cares, and have challanged myself to always facilitate partnership during difficult situations. I have also focused on my cultural competency, and ability to nuture and protect the beliefs of others.

The International Confederation of Midwives (2011) recognises midwives as being responsible and accountable professionals who work in partnership with women and their partners to give them support, care, and advise during pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period. This assignment will look at the significance of professionalism and how it affects the role of the midwifery student in university and in midwifery practice. It will begin by giving a definition of professionalism, followed by a discussion on two characteristics of professionalism; accountability and knowledge. Finally how these impact on the role of the midwifery student with regard to conduct and behaviour within the university, will be discussed in relation to both their personal
