Midwifery @ Uni

[Ahurani]

That sounds great!

Well Div 1 is 3 years and Middy 18 months on top of that. "Mature age" is 21 I think. Expect hard work, seriously. Lots of bloody research and essays. Cost is prolly $4000 a year with HECS.

In Victoria Nursing is 3 years then midwifery 1 year OR midwifery only is 3 years OE double degree 4 years this is for full time if part time double

Well worth doing great career !! not sure of costs now as years since i did mine!

Needs a large commitment as need to do essays, placements etc when spots available and where available may need to travel long distances for block placements.

Double degrees are hard to get into :S

Thanks!
Is it do-able with 2 kids?
Logan will be three (OMG) next year and bella will be 1....
do you have to do div 1 to be able to do mid?

[Rivlas]

No, you can now do mid straight. It's a 3 year course.
I know ACU does it not sure who else. It is pretty full on as you have to have to go to a certain number of many deliveries during the 3 years.
Div 1 or mid is doable but you will need alot of backup especially during placement.

All the best and go for it.

Thanks
I will be going to Deakin Uni..
Are these the sort of questions i should be asking at the open day?

To manage with kids you need readily available and willing baby sitters.


Its a life decision as to whether you can cope with the lifestyle of needing to go to uni, study, go on placements etc and cope with kids.

good luck with it
