After passing the Philippine Local Nursing Board Exam... presently waiting for the NCLEX eligibility, most graduate and passers like me are posed with a dilemma, whether to gain hospital exposure experience aside for the two year internship that most Philippine Nursing Schools provide in different departments or to just train independently.
I found myself wondering which would be more beneficial in the long run... My siblings and I are considering taking up Midwifery... since we already took up most of the other diciplines in the Midwifery Curriculum offered by Philippine based Nursing schools/ universities.
Midwife: A person trained to assist a woman during childbirth.
Many midwives also provide prenatal care for pregnant women, birth education for women and their partners, and care for mothers and newborn babies after the birth.
A midwife may be a man or a woman. Depending on local law, midwives may deliver babies in the mother's home, in a special birthing center or clinic, or in a hospital.
Most midwives specialize in normal, uncomplicated deliveries, referring women with health problems that could require hospitalization during birth to a hospital-based obstetrician. Others work with physicians as part of a team.
Legal qualifications required to practice midwifery differ between the US states and various countries.

Dear Lord, Jesus Christ, Thou great Physician of our souls, who hasr healed the sick and even brought the dead back to life, I kneel before thee and pray, since every good and perfect gift must come from thee, who are rich for all who invoke thee.
Grant the mothers thou hast placed in m care may be abundantly blessed, and not one of them be lost because of anything that is lacking in me, give me both wisdom and sympathy, kindness and understanding in my daily work. Inspire me with words of comport and strength, and let me encourage all mothers in their great hour; guide my mind and hands, good Jesus, that I may help them all and be able to lift at least a part of their burden of suffering.
Assist me, bear Lord, to overcome Human weakness and enable me to radiate the sunshine of joy upon the lives of those are gathered around me day by day.
Let me never do anything that would bring disgrace upon your church and your most holy law. And one grace more, dear lord, let me always inform the people right in tie to call on you to the beside of those whom I see in danger of death, and let no human respect ever deter me from the performance of this sacred duty. Amen
So help me God
I solemnly pledge that I will do my bestSeeking God’s help and asking for his graceTo keep my body healthy, strong and pureThe task of midwife, I must carry for sureTo keep my mind always alert and fully awake;To the profession I have chose, for life I will stickTo be trustworthy, refined, polite and gracious in mannerAn inspiration always to those under my careTo serve unselfishly and wisely everywhereGuiding the innocent, easing the sufferersTo make my work filled with sweetness and beautyWhere fellowship is found in adversity;To be loyal to my patients, associate, country and GodFrom whom I dearly owe my life and my love
So help me God
