About The Position

They support the largest midwife practice in the Twin Cities, with over half of deliveries performed by midwives. The team is interdisciplinary, working with physicians, midwives, residents, and students. The Professional Nursing Practice Model focuses on patient and family-centered care, with an emphasis on bedside care. The Shared Governance Model empowers nurses to manage their clinical practice and working environment, focusing on evidence-based nursing practice.
