Brittan Osborn, CNM 

Brittan went to nursing school in Bloomington, IN, and discovered an interest in obstetrics. During school, she volunteered at the Bloomington Area Birth Services center assisting in childbirth education classes. After graduating in 2014, she was lucky enough to land a Labor and Delivery position at TMH! During her nursing career, she has also worked at a small community hospital, in a large hospital system, and in an outpatient OB/GYN office. She graduated with her Master's in Nursing from Frontier Nursing School in 2019 and started as a midwife in the very hospital she trained at, working alongside the midwives who had been her inspiration! As a practitioner, she has a special passion for shared decision-making and physiologic birth. She holds certifications in fetal monitoring and neonatal resuscitation. 

Brittan and her husband met while living in Savannah, GA. They have a son and a daughter, who they love taking out for little travel adventures. When she’s not working or spending time with her family, she can usually be found covered in paint in front of a canvas or nose-deep in a book (usually some nerdy, fantasy novel!). She loves serving the greater Tallahassee-area families and looks forward to continuing her career in midwifery.
