HJ - So glad that I was able to brighten up your day with that info. 
MY Prep course has started. I have already done 2 subjects from the TAFE adult tertiary prep course, but am finding the Southern Cross course soooo much better already! There's a great textbook called the study skills handbook by Stella Cottrell. Really helpful with lots of aspects of studying!

Well I have just finished applying to QTAC for next year. First preference - ACU B Mid. Second preference - Griffith B Mid. Now I just have a looong wait to find out if I got in or not! In the meantime ACU have an 'open night' coming up soon that I will try to get to. Overall I am feeling excited at the thought of doing midwifery next year! While I have enjoyed studying nursing up to this point, midwifery was always what I really wanted to do.

Has anyone heard any more about this course yet? The structure and what hospitals will be available for placements? There is still only little info on their website and when I rang the Uni for an update I kept getting messagebank.

Mara - are they doing an open day soon? A lot of the unis are having their open days in July/August, so that might be a good chance to get more info about the course if you can.
Hj - think positive! Or do what I am trying to do and just forget about it until December lol

Mara 0 not much info has been released on the B of Mid at SCU..........but it is a 4 year course condensed into 3years, which means it runs on trimesters not semesters. I'd love to do their course, but logistically think Griffith will be better for me, with running on semesters and not having to worry about daylight savings!
Am putting my QTAC application in today! HAs anyone done a Personal Competencies assessment?? Need to do one but not sure if there's a certain way it needs to be set out.

If i remember correctly her name was Joce - she was lovely - i was a bit overwhelmed and nervous! the time i was there, there was only 1 other person interested in the BMid - everyone else was there for the Nursing! but i got there early at the start so no doubt when everyone else decided to wake up it might of been more busy!
Um she said there is 50 places - teaching hospitals are at Logan, Goldy and Redlands - i asked heaps of stuff, anything in particular you want to know? i may of asked and might be able to answer for you! Happy to help when and where i can! Have you done your PCA yet?

I thought it might have been Joce, I haven't met her but my SIL is a midwife and said she's lovely. Did she say much about the structure of the course and how many days on campus etc it would be??
Haven't done my PCA yet, keep trying to but then get stuck for how to write it!

Hi ladies, (BTW my former username was spice JIC you haven't figured it out )I have a feeling Joce is the new BMid course convenor (taken over from jenny)???
Mama, when I went to that info night at Logan i got some leaflets and you have 2 weeks of fulltime intensives on campus at the start of each semester, then a lot of the other stuff is online. You also have 2 follow throughs in semester 1 (20-30 for the full duration of the course) but from semester 2 onwards you actually spend 2 days a week at a hospital. Is that what you were told Hj? The info also says that in order to complete the course on time you actually do up to 46 weeks per year of study so not as many holidays though the year like the other degrees.
I am currently in the TWW so if I am UTD now or some time soon I'm still going to apply but I think I will defer my spot for 12 months if I get in. Will be looking for a student mid to support me for my VBAC though
