Preparing For Interview 4
Our fourth interview is twenty questions long and we weren't allowed to use the previous ten from interview three so I struggled with this one. I couldn't come up with any questions that weren't like the ones I had previously came up with. After staying up until 2am I finally came up with twenty new questions that I can use and were worthy for my fourth interview. The other difficult part was finding someone that I could interview because I had already interviewed my mentor twice so I couldn't interview her again. However, I talked to my mentor and she helped me get in contact with a recently certified midwife so that I can interview her. Thanks to my mentor I will be interviewing this CNM this upcoming week!

Third Answer
EQ: What knowledge most affects a midwife's ability to best serve her patients?
Answer 3: If a midwife knows how to be empathetic and supportive, then she will build a strong relationship with her patients and will make them feel comfortable and safe.
Details: Being empathetic helps the patient feel closer to their care provider because they feel as if they can relate and truly care. For example, when a midwife is empathetic during a labor women often feel more calm and closely connected to the midwife. Providing all the support possible to women during this emotional intense in their life will help them feel like they are not alone. For example, a woman who has a supportive midwife will strive to stay healthy and fit to benefit herself and her baby during her pregnancy. Being a strong empathetic, supportive practitioner will make patients feel safe and they will put their trust in you. Patients want to feel like they are in good hands and when a good relationship between the care provider and patient is created things tend to go absolutely well. A midwife should be like a friend to her patient.
