Becoming A Midwife: A Self Analysis

Volunteering to work in a walk- in clinic had enabled me the opportunity to work as a receptionist, through this I’ve had the chance to communicate with the patients and absorb each of their individual circumstances, this helped me achieve skills that would be useful for me to use as a midwife, the most important skill I have enhanced being my communication skills. I have learnt to communicate with the patients by being reflective and by paying close attention to what each patient had to say and replying in a caring manner, I believe this is an essential skill, because as a midwife I will have to communicate with people all the time. Furthermore, each patient came with a different situation, which made me curious, this would be beneficial to me as a student, motivating me to carry on with my studies, and make me accountable, also, it would result in me becoming a committed midwife as it will encourage my awareness in the child demeanour process.
