Hi Girls, I'm Dee, Mother of five and wife to one, I did my B of Nursing and registered in 1997. I like to do things the hard way, lol. It took me four years instead of three as I got married and had a baby during what should have been my third year. Although I have been employed by Qld Health since 1993. During Uni I spent all of my holidays as an AIN/student Nusre and worked at Mount Isa Base Hospital, Julia Creek, Doomadgee and Mornington Island. After I registered I continued to work at Mount Isa Base and then Emerald and Dysart Hospitals, from which I have now offically resigned from, sniff, sniff. I started my Grad Dip of Midwifery in 2002, however only finished one semester and deferred due to pregnancy and lack of carers for my children while I went away to do prac. I live 350km inland from Rocky and Mackay and couldn't get anyone to watch the girls for two weeks while I did a prac block. I will finish my mid one day, Townsville Base offers the PAid Midwifery program and I think I will join in in a couple more years.
I love Nursing but my real passion is in Midwifery.
Lisa Are your results in yet? How did you go? I got two Credits and an I - they haven't put my NC6 results up yet although I know I passed. I will prob get a C for that too. Got a P1 in the assignmnet (worth 60%) and a HD in the exam - go figure! I didn't do any of the course work for NC6 so am pretty stoked! Hope you did well. Will be interedted to hear your thoughts on the new program structure once it's released next month....
