    A registered nurse has less requirements then a BMID to complete for registration.
    Not in the degrees I researched. 700 hours for BMid. 900 hours for RN. I don't know how they got it approved. This is in NSW mind you. Others are a bit better, but again, the approval process is changing with this new board and a lot of it doesn't make sense. In the health district I work, even the regional hospitals will not take RM only. There are plenty of RN/RMs coming through, we just graduated a class of 50 with 88 following. It's getting bigger and bigger, at least in the Eastern states! Agree on the doula part - they are trying to make doulas illegal after some homebirth incidents, so it probably isn't worth it until that's all resolved.

    Oh, and I hate old man balls too, lol.

    Not sure how your ranting "again" when it is your first post?
    Other forums. I'm not exactly silent on the subject. What does that matter to you anyway?
