Midwifery Personal Statement Essay

My interests in midwifery began when my mother spoke about her career as a midwife. I remember having conversations about the critical care provided by midwifes and the challenges faced in a developing country (Nigeria).

 from British Journal of Midwives. My passion of caring for others and my interest in science as well as my life experiences.

.I have learnt through my experience that being a midwife is more than just delivering babies. My first contact with a midwife was as a young mum. She helped me understand uniqueness and beauty of all stages of pregnancy, birth and prepared me for motherhood. As a young mother I’ve learnt to be supportive, patient, organized and tenacious when it comes to my goals. I strongly believe these attributes will make me the kind of midwife that a woman will always remember for all the right reasons.

I believe that the well being of the patient always comes first and I have always taken a holistic approach when it comes to caring for patients as a Healthcare assistant.
