In celebration of National Midwifery Week and the 2016 “Let Our Stories Move You to Answer the Call” Digital Summit, we will be sharing special stories from Kitty Ernst herself. Every morning around 8:00 a.m. ET, we will be sharing a new video on this page with one of Kitty’s inspirational stories. We hope her messages inspire you to continue to Answer the Call as a nurse-midwife or supporter of nurse-midwifery care.

Hear how Certified Nurse-Midwives have touched the lives of families through the personal stories of those who have received nurse-midwifery care.

Nurse-midwives are primary health care providers to women throughout the lifespan. Hear stories from Certified Nurse-Midwives about their journeys, why they chose this career path and what drives their passion to care for women, children and families.

Who ME?…a midwife?…. If this is your initial reaction when thinking about pursuing a career as a nurse-midwife, this session will help you figure out if this is a good fit for you. Listen in as a former Labor & Delivery nurse, a former Certified Professional Midwife, a nurse with NO Labor & Delivery experience and other CNMs that come from other backgrounds discuss their experiences. These nurse-midwives had these same questions before deciding that becoming a Nurse-Midwife was their calling. Their stories will help open your eyes to the passion, dedication, love and joy that this career path entails.
