Hi girls!

Just found this thread and thought i would post.

I have just started my Bachelor of Nursing this year. My goal is Midwifery! I first enrolled and was accepted in 2005 but had to defer cause i found out that i was pregnant with Briley. I got a letter from JCU last year asking if i wanted to continue with my enrollment. I ofcourse said yes. At the time my partner and i were actively TTC but did'nt think it would happen for ages. Boy were we wrong!! I found out i was pregnant a week or so later!

So now i am 22 weeks pregnant, have a 10 month old daughter and am studying. Its hard work but its the path i chose to take. My goal is VERY clear in my mind and i can't wait to reach it. Uni is quite draining. More so for me cause i am pregnant but its very time consuming.

I am very lucky to have a great support network. My grandmother watches Briley most days and my mum takes her on Fridays as this is her day off. I also have Brent's aunty and my sister if i need them. My IL's are going to be moving into our granny flat in the next few weeks (very scary!!!) so MIL will probably watch Briley from then on.

Nursing has been something that i have always wanted to do but never had the nerve to apply. I am very weird with sore's and stuff like that but i am willing to get past all that to be able to help bring someones child into this world. But more than that i think about what i will be able to offer say if i came across the scene of an accident or something like that. I am not sure how i would react now if something like that were to happen in front of me now. But will the Nursing skills behind me later i like to think that i would just go into auto-pilot and just help.

I say too anyone thinking about giving Nursing a go to have a good think. If you really think that Nursing is what you want too do then do it. You might regret it later on if you don't!
