HELLO

My name is Acacia Skanes and I was born and raised in Southern California. I realized I wanted to be a Labor and Delivery nurse when I was 13 years old. It was June 24, 2013 when my God siblings were born, and I was there to witness their delivery. Back then I thought the twin’s delivery was nasty but the look on my God mother’s face when the nurse handed her the twins was mesmerizing. Many future labor and delivery nurses say they want to deliver babies because the delivery process is magical, and they love babies. Me on the other hand, I wanted to be a labor and delivery nurse because of the emotional connections that are developed when mothers are delivering. In fact, I just recently decided to expand my horizons and strive to become a Certified Nurse Midwife because I want to be more hands on and closer to my patients when they are delivering.
