1. My mentor is Deborah Nakielski, I found my mentor through a previous iPoly student, his mom happens to be Debbie who is a midwife and recommended that she be my mentor. It was really hard to get a hold of this student because he would never respond to me or when he did he would just say to me, "Ok let me try and look for her email," and then would never respond. It wasn't until I spoke to Seanna that she told me that I could probably get a hold of her by going to Kaiser and trying to speak her in person. I finally went to Kaiser and I was able to find her office but she happened to be out that day so I left her a note explaining my situation and asked if she could be my mentor. Fortunately, she texted me two days later and agreed to be my mentor. I've been working with her since then.
2. The most important article I have read so far is, "The primacy of the good midwife in midwifery services: an evolving theory of professionalism in midwifery."Its been very important because this article talks about what makes a good midwife. It explains that a midwives professionalism is what empowers a women through their pregnancy. This piece of information is really important because it addresses my essential question (What is a midwife expected to know/ do in order to give their patient all the assistance they need before, during, and after pregnancy?).
