I don't know what flinders is like, I've only been in Australia two years. I know what you mean about midwives who haven't had children. I was induced for my second and 1 hour after I had the gel I...
Did your instructors give you a chance to explain. I agree that you couldn't have chosen a worse place to do it but even so, everyone makes mistakes and having made this one you are unlikely to do it...
Wow, how long did your two premature babies stay in hospital and how old are they? I have three so you beat me by one, they are 12,10 and 6. It was after having my first child that I wanted to be a...
Thanks eirthjona, no I haven't tried the uni website but I shall. I've ordered a couple of journals from the American website as they looked really interesting and they are really reasonably priced,...
Hi I have to say that the work load is intense with heaps of reading. They say that the work load is about the same as a full time job but I think it may be more. It depends though on the individual...
Hey thanks Skislalom I just had a look at the Web site and it looks great, I think my husband will have to hide the credit cards, there are so much to choose
Hi nomi This year when you apply make sure you apply for both internal and external as once you are in you can change it (there is also a mixed mode whereby you can go internal and external), I went...

Thanks for all the info everyone. In my student handbook under uniform it said Navy, Black or White duty shoes, being new to all this I thought there was a specific shoe I needed to buy, oops:imbar...
Hi Evie Thanks for your reply. Had you had any experience at all beforehand or did your employer teach you how to give bed baths and showers etc? Good Luck with your final Year, I bet it will fly...
Hi Naomi Don't give up, you'll get there in the end. Have you thought about contacting the program director as an awful lot of people leave the course in the first semester and so they may keep you...
Thanks, that's reassuring as I was reading posts on a student midwifery forum (UK) and there were loads of students complaining that their mentors were rude and in some cases demeaning. But maybe...
Well done C, I am a true believer that if you want something enough you will get it. Don't doubt yourself as you bring something to your studies that the 'youngies' don't and that is life experience!...
