Sixteen graduate midwives began their careers with Darling Downs Health this week, starting with four days of orientation.<\/p>\n

Nursing and Midwifery Services Executive Director Andrea Nagle said the graduate program was a great opportunity for the participants to familiarise themselves with our values and vision, as well as learn more about their colleagues and new careers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so pleased to welcome the graduate midwives to our health service, and we look forward to supporting them in their transition to their midwifery positions,\u201d Ms Nagle said.<\/p>\n

The 16 graduate midwives will be located across the Darling Downs Health birthing facilities of Kingaroy, Dalby, Chinchilla, Warwick and Toowoomba.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Graduate midwife Jasmine Keough said she was excited to start her career as a graduate midwife at Toowoomba Hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited to transition from student to midwife, and experience everything this graduate program has to offer,\u201d Ms Keough said<\/p>\n

\u201cI chose midwifery as I wanted to help women through the life transition from woman to mother.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fellow graduate midwife Suuki Ferguson, who is also based at Toowoomba Hospital, said she originally wanted to study sonography, however fell in love with midwifery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the entire process of being with women, guiding them through their birthing journey, and being the silent helper,\u201d Ms Ferguson said.<\/p>\n

The graduate program is for 12 months within the health service and is an opportunity for the midwives to put everything they have learned at university into practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
