The transition from being a novice to become a qualified health professional is stressful (Park et al., 2011). Novices lack experience of situations in which they are expected to act, thereby they need to be guided by regulations. Routines and instructions are necessary for dealing with the work, as they are unable to grasp the whole situation. The expert assesses, understands and interprets situations based on her/his experience without solely taking rules and guidelines into account, in addition to acting as the patient’s advocate (Oberle and Allen, 2001). Good midwives have communication skills, supportive, knowledgeable, skilful and also make major contributions (Nicholls and Webb, 2006).
