i give up...................

as most of you know im trying to get sponsorship for my health visitors course. I have a place at uni for sept 2004. Im unable to get sponsorship as i have not been qualified for 2 yrs (will be 18 mths in sept). Ok i thought thats fair enough. I explained this to uni and they suggested that if i really want to do the course and i could afford it why dont i self fund.After long discussion with hubby i decided yes why not its only a year. I must find my own community practice teacher. I got in touch with the various people and find it hard to get one. No one has to pay anything just train me. I dont understand why its so difficult to do. I am now considering giving up in trying. Im trying to better myself but seem to hit a brick wall. Sorry for moaning but i so much want to do this course in sept and dont want to give up my place. :o, but it looks as tho i have to. :crying2:

you dont as a rule have to find your own mentor. If you want to be a health visitor or midwife you apply to the uni and get sponsorship from a health authority. the university allocate mentors and the HA find placements. its rare to self fund. Nurse practitioners are a little different (we would be!) you get the uni place (and I self funded for the first year) and hope that your employer will allow you study time. We are also supposed to have a mentor but that doesnt always happen either.

most nurses are degree nurse to being with.. doing Health visiting/midwifery etc is extra! so far I have done 15 yrs worth of training... and considering doing a masters in ethics and law............have to get a life!!

I dont understand your training system either!!
