Member Bio for Jessica Jordan...
Jessica Jordan has been a certified
nurse-midwife for 14 years, and delivered over 600 babies. She received a
Bachelor of Arts degree from William and Mary, but decided on a change of career
after her last child was born with a nurse-midwife. She received her nursing
degree from Medical College of Virginia, and her midwifery degree from Frontier
Nursing Service, with a Master's in Nursing from Case Western Reserve. For most
of her midwifery career, she has been the legislative chair of the Virginia
Chapter of Nurse-Midwives, and worked hard to change the regulatory status of
nurse-midwives, as well as lobbying for funding for the pilot project birth
centers. She also serves on the Virginia Maternal Mortality Review Team of the
Chief Medical Examiner. She has worked as a clinician in both the public and
private sector. Currently, she is working part-time at a freestanding birth
center in Northern Virginia, as well as part-time clinician for the Care-A-Van.
In her spare time, she volunteers at Crossover Health Ministries giving prenatal
care to Hispanic women. She is a native of Richmond, Virginia, and is married
with three grown children.
