Morgan Kraft

RN, BSN

My name is Morgan Kraft and I currently work as the nurse educator for family birthing services at ANMC in Anchorage, Alaska. I graduated with my nursing degree from SDSU in December of 2016 and started my nursing career in a critical access hospital in Milbank, South Dakota. After getting to see a little bit of everything (with little to no resources) my two favorite areas were the ER and OB. When we moved to Alaska four years ago, I decided to go further into the world of obstetrics and I am so glad that I did. Before moving to Alaska, I had helped bring 57 babies into the world and now that number has reached 371 (it doesn’t quite grow as fast now that I am in education). The high-risk Labor and Delivery unit was an adjustment that included an abundance of learning opportunities.  However, it was through those opportunities that I was able to identify a special passion of mine, perinatal bereavement. In my new role as educator I have advocated for many changes to our perinatal bereavement program and I am excited to be able to share some of them with you today!
