Midwives and Nurses

[angeleew]

Hello, Midwives & Nurses. My names Angelee and I'm a student from Toronto, Ontario and I'm here to ask a favour. For a class project we're asked to choose a field that inspires us/ is a branch from nursing and I picked being a midwife. we were asked to interview someone from that field via email or in person, if you can help answer my questions (about 6-7) it would be greatly appreciated. My school email is [email protected]. Please E-mail me if interested, Thank You! :)

Being a midwife is not specialty within nursing. Midwives go through an entirely different education and licensing route than nurses. You'd have better luck asking working midwives in the field than asking nurses on a nursing forum. Try the local midwife clinic, or linking up with the local midwife school.

I do know there's a place on here for midwives. I might have put this in the wrong place, thank you thought. :)

Unless you're looking for information for Ob-Gyn nursing, there isn't much of anything about midwives on allnurses.

Here in Ontario nursing and midwifery are totally independent career paths. Midwifery is not a field/branch within nursing like it is in other countries.

You could also post in the OB Gyn section here on AN. Perhaps someone there can direct you to a midwife. Otherwise, your best bet would be calling the Midwifery Association or the local hospital in your area.
