Postscript: One year on

Abstract:

I practise midwifery on the West Coast of the South Island having graduated from the Direct Entry Midwifery programme at Otago Polytechnic in December 1995. My practice is 100 per cent midwifery only care and 75 per cent home birth. Since my first client in July 1995 I have had 15 clients deliver. When I first started as a new graduate I felt like a fraud. All that separated me from a student was a piece of paper and a star badge. And then it hit me. Total responsibility for people's lives... So they want a review of my first year of practise [sic]. What are some of the significant aspects of my practice?
