About Debra Ramesh, APRN, CNM, WHNP-BC
I always knew I wanted to be a nurse and work with moms and babies. My sister was attending nursing school when I was a snoopy youngster, and I would find her textbooks and go through them, looking at all the fascinating pictures. Needless to say, the obstetrical book was my FAVORITE — conception and birth is so AMAZING! That eventually led me to Dordt College (a private school in Northwest Iowa) to be an NICU or labor and delivery nurse. For one clinical experience, I spent a day in clinic and at a birth with a nurse midwife and immediately knew that’s exactly what I wanted to do. Four months after graduating with my bachelor’s degree, I started my Nurse Midwifery and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner programs at Georgetown University. I had some amazing experiences and learned so much from my wonderful teachers and preceptors – all remarkable midwives!
My main goal as a midwife is to help you, moms-to-be, fall more in love with your baby every time we interact through education and patient involvement. My favorite thing about midwifery is the rapport I gain with patients after seeing them for multiple pregnancies and getting to meet each new member of their beautiful family.
My childhood home is in Hospers, a small town in northwest Iowa, with a population of about 700 people – so moving to the Twin Cities was an adventure! My cat Pip and I live in a little house in Dayton, very near the Maple Grove Hospital. I love to travel and experience new cultures (and food!) during my free time. My husband and I have recently started playing Pickleball.
