In a unique and detailed historical study, Nurse-Midwifery: The Birth of a New American Profession, Laura E. Ettinger fills a void with the first book-length documentation of the emergence of American nurse-midwifery. This occupation developed in the 1920s involving nurses who took advanced training in midwifery. In Nurse-Midwifery, Ettinger shows how nurse-midwives in New York City; eastern Kentucky; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and other places both rebelled against and served as agents of a nationwide professionalization of doctors and medicalization of childbirth. Nurse-Midwifery reveals the limitations that nurses, physicians, and nurse-midwives placed on the profession of nurse-midwifery from the outset because of the professional interests of nursing and medicine. The book argues that nurse-midwives challenged what scholars have called the "male medical model" of childbirth, but the cost of the compromises they made to survive was that nurse-midwifery did not become the kind of independent, autonomous profession it might have been.

Created as a companion study guide and learning tool for the third edition of America's first midwifery textbook, Varney's Midwifery Study Question Book will assist students as they prepare for the American College of Nurse-Midwives Certification Council (ACC) exam. For each chapter, comprehensive study outlines help to guide and focus the student in all aspects of midwifery, including primary care, antepartal care, intrapartal care, care of the newborn, and postpartal care.
