Griffith B of Mid

[mama_supha]

That sounds great! what did she say and can you remember who you spoke to??? (sorry for all the questions!!!!!)

[hj1981]

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

Mara - how is the TWW wait going?

mama_supha - have u done ur PCA yet?

Bon - how u going???

Just waiting lol. In a few weeks I will be too busy with a new bub to think too much about whether I will get in, although I am quietly confident that I will get into ACU - I have good enough results at least, both from school (sooo long ago now lol) and from uni. But like Mara, depending how things are with bub and whether I can sort out care for her (I don't want to put her in daycare because she will still be so young, so I have to find someone who will be willing to look after her for me), I might have to defer for 12 months. But in the meantime, it's just waiting waiting waiting.

Hi HJ

Have started my PCA. Just need a good few hours to sit down without distraction (i wish!!!) to get it finished, so just doing bits as I go.

Don't know how patient I can be to wait til Jan to find out if we get in! I know some uni's do an early round offer in Dec, but I know Griffith won't be for the miwifery.

Hope you're all doing well!

Hey mama,

can you actually apply through QTAC then submit the PCA later or do you have to do it at the same time?

HJ, thanks for your post in my other thread. I think you're right

Roll on January 2009 we all get in!
