Healthcare Communication with Samantha Ghabra RN & Midwifery Student - Episode 167

Healthcare communication is one of the most important things you can learn about before your delivery. Today's guest is Samantha Ghabra. Samantha has been a registered nurse since 2017. Her passion for labor, birth, and women's health has lead her on a path towards becoming a Certified Nurse Midwife/Woman's Health Nurse Practitioner. She is currently a student at California State University, Fullerton in their CNM/WHNP program. Samantha's favorite aspect of nursing is patient education. She loves showing patients the incredible amazing capabilities of their bodies and how to be their own best advocate by empowering patients to make informed decisions. She is a firm believer of Health At Every Size, as well as supporting BIPOC women, and other birthing people. Outside of the world of labor and delivery, Samantha is a cat mom to two fur babies, Watson & Frankie, and she loves to read, cook, and travel.
