hehehe u should never of said that - i have HEAPS of questions! hahaha
If i do the ATP does that guarantee entry?
I was also going to become a Doula to help get in - and in the end if i dont get in at least im still helping other females with their birthing experience like i want to do!

Yeay, so exciting that it is going ahead!
Heres hoping that we ALL get in!!! and then we can be study budies!!! woot

HJ - I don't know that anything guarantees you into a B of Midi these days. It depends on what kind of response they have I guess. I am also doing a doula course: and will most likely do a personal competencies statement to help my application.
Mrs T - will be great to have study buddies even before Uni starts!!! Here'sto all of us getting into B of Mid at Griffith.
I'm constantly checking out the griffith website for updates but so far this is all they have :
Griffith University | Bachelor of Midwifery - Logan
We can keep each other up to date when we hear anything new!

DAMN! if only they introduced this 4 years ago! im doing my master is mid but had to do my RN:s first which i still absolutely LOVE doing and i come out with so much experience and have 2 professions behind me but would have saved me some time and money! good luck girls! you will love it!

Can someone explain this in laymans terms for me "The program is offered full-time in the following mode: a combination of one (1) on-campus intensive mode at the Logan campus and two (2) off-campus, online learning between intensive periods and three (3) extensive compulsory clinical placements"
and if i applied for Griffith at the Logan campus - do u think i could get placement closer to home?
mamasupha - who are u doing ur Doula course thru?
21andTTC#1 - How far thru are u now? i was thinking of doing combined nursing and midwifery, but the midwifery is the part that really interests me!
Registered User
hj - they mean you can do it full time on campus, like i do where u attend all classes, OR you can do most subjects online and only attend the campus for exams and one off lectures, and with the placements u just give them your postcode and they put u at the closest hospital they go as far as even redbank and beaudesert, ive been to 3 different hospitals and am looking to go to the royal womens this year. oh when it says option 3 thats compulsory for everyone, the placements, which can be up to 8 weeks at a time for no money! it sucks but worth it in the end
Registered User
I am waiting to hear about what that means too. I'm not sure about where you could do placements. You could call the Logan Campus and ask to speak to Jenny Gamble who is in charge of the midwifery units there.

Thanks for that 21. Congrats on your
Hj ; I am doing my doula course through CBI
hj1981: I am not to sure if you have seen but they are announcing new "health related" courses that are going to be held at USQ Springfield campus in a few months time.
I have everything crossed it may be a nursing or mid course.
It is something to do with the "health city" development going on there.
Not far to travel then

oh wow that would be great!! i havent heard anything about that -
have u heard anything else??? that would be awesome if it was nursing or Midwifery!!!
No I haven't heard anything else
I seen it in the local paper the other week.
I am doing a Tertiary prep course though USQ and my tutors are at springfield campus so I have been wondering if I should try and ask one of them
I also went past the griffith uni - Logan campus the other day and it really only felt like just down the road. This was via the logan motorway though and there are the tolls which is a PITA if you have to do it every day.
Registered User
Its great that more Uni's are opening this course!
I wish JCU had've!
The GC ladies in my course at ACU will be please. I wonder if they can transfer?!?
Registered User
I've just looked up the Griffith site, the plcement begins week 2 semester 1 and is 2-3 days per week for the entire year including semester breaks!!!
Wow so at least I'd be used to working by the time I finished the course!!!
Registered User
Hi Ladies,
Re: Doing BNursing first and post-grad Mid.
Just beware as I am pretty sure that if you do your Nursing first, you have to work as an RN for 12 months before you can actually start your post-grad Mid.
Registered User
Sara- Didn't seem to say anything about that on the course page on th Griffith website, just says you have to have completed a Bachelor of nursing and be registered or qualify to be registered as an RN is QLD.
Where did you hear that cause that would seriously change my decision to go straight through...
Registered User
Oh man this wait is killing me! how is everyone else coping???
Mara - did u change ur preferences? and any news yet??
Registered User
Oops! Sorry only just found your message!
I was told this when I started to do my Nursing in Townsville.
If this is not something you want to do I would be asking more about it if I were you. Call the Uni and talk to them about it.
Sorry for the late reply
