Today was a day full of wonderful midwives. After class today we were invited to a reception to welcome Holly Powell Kennedy, CNM, PhD to the Yale School of Nursing Faculty. Holly is one of the lead researchers in the world on normal birth and is just beginning here at Yale. She is the first Helen Varney endowed professor at YSN and it seems like she has wonderful things in store for us, including starting a birth center at Yale New Haven Hospital!
It was wonderful to be at her reception, surrounded by midwives and future midwives. Immediately following, the students were invited to a midwifery potluck hosted by the second years. There were about 45 student midwives there and it was both exciting and inspirational to meet everyone and see what brought each person into this career path.
I feel very lucky to be in this place surrounded by people who inspire me and make me feel at home in my chosen life path.
