Can she do an Enrolled Nursing course instead first? They are usually done through TAFE and you don't need your HSC to do it cause it is what i am going to do and i have only done yr11. It is like a full time job though but you get paid for it. Something like you go to tafe for 1-2 days a week and the rest you work in the hospital. Then she can go on to be a Registered Nurse after that if she wanted and then get into Midwifery. I think all up it would take around 5yrs to be a Midwife though.
