Ability to answer questions and offer advice Midwives are the most frequent point of contact for parents to be, so you must be able to answer their questions, share your knowledge and skills with patients, their families and friends and make sure their needs are recognised by the rest of the care team. Happy to work as part of a team As a midwife you will be part of a multidisciplinary team liasing with GPs, health visitors and social workers. You will also work alongside the parents and baby. The better you know each other, the more smoothly the birth is likely to go. Dealing with emotionally charged situations You will have to stay calm and alert in times of stress, and enable women to feel confident and in control.
Life’s isn’t always fair; however, if we have hope we can overcome any challenge. By using our strengths and resources we can achieve our goals despite any challenge or circumstances life throws our way. I can model that hope for the people I serve and support them in using their strengths to discover new ways of achieving their goals. As I’ve progressed further into the social work program my love for this work has grown. I am open and interested in learning about every aspect of social work and have the drive to support those with disabilities, those in poverty, children, families, and the
I did and it felt so rewarding to be a part of such an important moment. Those motivational moments led me to know that being a Social Worker will be a rewarding career for me. As I learn and understand the Core Values and Ethics with the aid of my instructors, I find that I am willing to take on that task of being that social worker all day every day. Past experience(s)-volunteer or paid that I have had, which are related to social work and/or human services? In what way(s) did these experience(s) encourage me to pursue social work as a career?
“The cost associated with replacing a registered nurse range from $ 10,000 to $ 60,000 per RN, depending on the specialty”. (Huston, 2010) Many hospitals developed a nursing program that is designed to assist transition new graduated nurses into the role of acute care bedside nurses.

Running head: Why I want to be a Nurse 1 Why I want to be a Nurse Sheila Lugo Strategies for Nursing 20 June 2012 Mrs. Taylor Why I want to be a Nurse 2 Abstract A little insight on why I want to be a nurse, starting from when I was little. Why I want to be a Nurse 3 Why I want to be a Nurse Growing up in a family of five, three kids and two adults I have always been told that I can be whatever it is that I want to be when I grow up. My older brother had a lot of medical issues when we were young and I spent a great deal of time with my grandparents on my father’s side. I loved them both so much but grandma was my favorite, she would always ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I remember telling her one day that I wanted to be a nurse. She thought that was the best idea and would tell me all of the wonderful things nurses would do.
The Nurturing Nurse Joel Davey Cambrian College BSCN 1206: Self and Others l: Personal Discovery Kim Sheppard November 7, 2014 The Nurturing Nurse As I read the story A Celebration of Life, a single word came to mind with every action of Kathy Hamelin; Nurture. The word nurture refers to the kind of care that is given to someone or something so that it flourishes as it grows or develops (Meriam-Webster, 2014). This type of care can be applied to Nurse Hamelin’s story in many different ways. I believe that it is evident as she nurtures both the neonatal infants and their mothers, that she both exhibits nurturing care as well as follows the CNO ethical standards. Nurturing in the neonatal setting exhibits a holistic view of the nurturing care that should take place between the mother, her child, and the nurses in charge of their care.
The Role of the Midwife It is the role of the midwife to provide individual care to the pregnant woman as well as her partner and family as necessary. The midwife is there to support the woman and her partner from the first few weeks of pregnancy up until the baby is 10 days old (in most cases). As well as the ante-natal checks that are carried out on a regular basis to ensure the health of mother and baby which involve taking blood pressure, feeling for baby, measuring the fundus, listening for baby’s heartbeat and checking mothers’ urine, midwives are there to offer support, help and counselling as and when required by the prospective parents. It is because of this that as well as good practical skills the midwife must also possess excellent communication skills in order to build a good and trusting relationship with the parents to be, because although an exciting time in a person’s life, pregnancy can also make many women (and men) very anxious and it is the midwife that they will contact in the first instance to voice these concerns, therefore it is vital that a good relationship with the parents is established early on. Midwives often work on their own and must be extremely competent at what they do.
Being able to make a difference is a huge positive, how you care for the mother and family during her time in your care, being sensitive to her emotions and needs. Treating the mother with dignity and respect.

Aftercare is an also very important part the midwife plays in, helping the mother to form that special bond with their new baby. Witnessing the baby first latching on to the mother, witnessing the mother & baby’s first skin to skin contact, the baby’s first cry, the baby’s first breath all of which the midwife whiteness’s.
Becoming a nurse will make each day a great difference, not only for me, but for the patients I will be taking care of. I know I can help others by providing them with love, care, and ensuring them I will never give up on them. Once I am able to progress in my major and earn my college degree in nursing, it will not only make me a better person, but enable me to reach out to others that are in great need of
