Abstract
Aim: To describe the similarities and differences between the professional practice of nurse midwives in the birth center and in the hospital, identifying whether the specifics of this practice influence the perception of their professional identity. Method: This was a descriptive, qualitative research conducted with nurse midwives in a birth center and a maternity hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The interviews were analyzed using the thematic content analysis technique. Results: Two categories were established: similarities and differences in professional practice, and perceptions of professional identity: acts of belonging and assignment. Discussion: Professional socialization was determined by experiences in the limited scope of nursing. Perceptions of the professional identity do not change because the place of performance is the hospital or birth center. Conclusion: The different characteristics of these institutions do not influence perceptions of the professional identity of nurse midwives.
