Debra Boersma, CNM
I have always known I wanted to be a nurse and work with moms and babies. My sister was attending nursing school when I was snoopy youngster, and I would find her nursing textbooks and go through them and look at the pictures. Needless to say, the obstetrical book was my FAVORITE — conception and birth is so fascinating! That led me to Dordt College, a private school in Northwest Iowa, to be a NICU or labor and delivery nurse. For one clinical ex ... Read More

Debra is nothing short of amazing. Her bedside manner, attention to detail, and care she provides is above the rest. I get excited to go to my yearly checkup which is not what I can say about my other yearly checkups.

I specifically scheduled with Debra because the birth of our second was such a good experience with her. Grateful to get to work with her for our third, so is my husband!
She was very kind and honest, the interaction felt genuine.

I have always known I wanted to be a nurse and work with moms and babies. My sister was attending nursing school when I was snoopy youngster, and I would find her nursing textbooks and go through them and look at the pictures. Needless to say, the obstetrical book was my FAVORITE — conception and birth is so fascinating! That led me to Dordt College, a private school in Northwest Iowa, to be a 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! I am VERY excited to work with Oakdale ObGyn and our patients. 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 childhood home is in Hospers, a small town in northwest Iowa, with a population of about 700 people, so moving to the cities was an adventure! My cat Pip and I live in a little apartment in Maple Grove — very close to the hospital so it’s perfect for those middle of the night runs to the Family Birth Center for deliveries. I have 4 handsome nephews and 4 beautiful nieces who are the delight of my life, ranging in age from newborn to 23.
