Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a unique and detailed historical study, Nurse-Midwifery: The Birth of a New American Profession, Laura E. Ettinger fills a void with the first book-length documentation of the emergence of American nurse-midwifery. This occupation developed in the 1920s involving nurses who took advanced training in midwifery. In Nurse-Midwifery, Ettinger shows how nurse-midwives in New York City; eastern Kentucky; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and other places both rebelled against and served as agents of a nationwide professionalization of doctors and medicalization of childbirth. Nurse-Midwifery reveals the limitations that nurses, physicians, and nurse-midwives placed on the profession of nurse-midwifery from the outset because of the professional interests of nursing and medicine. The book argues that nurse-midwives challenged what scholars have called the "male medical model" of childbirth, but the cost of the compromises they made to survive was that nurse-midwifery did not become the kind of independent, autonomous profession it might have been.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOME SAY MIDWIFERY IS THE world's oldest profession. You likely know what midwives do: they deliver babies. They have been doing that since the beginning of human history. Throughout the millenniums, midwifery knowledge and skills were passed down from one generation of women to the next. By contrast, today's midwives are highly trained and licensed healthcare professionals with the expertise to help women stay healthy before, during, and after pregnancy. They share a holistic philosophy of care that encourages a more natural approach to childbirth, free of medications, incisions, and other invasive procedures. There are two basic categories for American midwives: certified nurse midwives (CNMs) and direct-entry midwives (DMs). The main difference is the level and type of training. CNMs are registered nurses (RNs) who have earned a graduate level degree in midwifery. Their nursing training allows them to provide a broad range of services. A CNM can be a primary caregiver, managing a woman's health throughout her lifespan from adolescence through menopause. In fact, CNMs only spend about 10 percent of their work time on dealing with childbirth. DMs are also highly trained, but they are not nurses. They are limited by what they can do and therefore, focus solely on the childbearing process. The vast majority of midwives are CNMs. Though the requirements and procedures vary, every state licenses CNMs. Most work in hospitals and that is also where most babies delivered by midwives are born. By contrast, DMs account for only 10 percent of midwives. A number of states prohibit their practice and they rarely work in hospitals. They largely work in settings outside of formal medical care facilities, including women's homes. In many areas of the country, they are welcomed because their services are badly needed.Both CNMs and DMs are in demand and the future looks exceptionally good. Women of all backgrounds are rejecting the outdated notion that childbirth is a pathology that requires medical intervention. The result is a projected increase of over 30 percent in jobs for midwives in the coming years, which is four times greater than the average job growth rate for all occupations combined. Demand will be higher in inner cities and rural areas, but opportunities are everywhere. The level of salaries typically follows the level of demand and midwifery is no exception. American midwives earn a comfortable living with a median annual income of $100,000. Individual earnings vary by location, training, work setting, and other factors. The salary range of the majority is between $80,000 and $120,000. Midwifery is an ancient practice that combines old wisdom and current scientific research. It is a messy business that can be exhausting and stressful at times. Bringing beautiful new babies into the world is a vocation that offers unique rewards to those who answer the call.

Book excerpt: Today, nurse-midwives have assumed a larger role in mainstream health care than before, yet they are still marginalized. As in the past, nurse-midwives' futures will depend on continuing changes in American attitudes about childbirth, health care, and women professionals as well as on their own ability to adapt to the changes. The history of the profession suggests that nurse-midwives will continue to navigate in difficult waters in a middle space between the mainstream and the margins of medicine and between the nursing profession and midwifery traditions.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.
