West Coast University A Day in the Life of a Nurse Midwife Paper

Need to write a paper based off of following a nurse midwife for a day. Followed a midwife for a day in lancaster, ca. Her website is: AV birth center. Her name was tesa kurin. and her address is: 1505 West ave J suite 203.

If you have any questions: I can help. The whole day, I helped with vitals for patients, she showed me around the center, explained about the differences in the hospital setting vs at a birth center. They believe in natural, they do not get pain medications, they can give birth on the bed (set up like a house), they can give birth in the birthing pool. Patients also came in for check ups for their newborns, and pretty much that sums up the day.

The paper should include:
