Charli'smumma - because its a double degree there is equal focus on nursing and midwifery, because at the end you effectively have 2 degrees - 1 in nursing and 1 in midwifery. If you don't really have in interest in nursing I wouldn't bother with it - just do a midwifery degree. I am currently doing a Bachelor of Nursing with Central Queensland Uni via distance. I am really liking it so far, although its only my first year and I am part time. CQU don't offer a BMid, just postgrad midwifery. I have an equal interest in nursing and midwifery which is why I would like to do the double degree. Right now though it is only offered in full time, which means travelling to Brisbane every day and I don't want to, and can't really afford to, have my kids in daycare full time. So distance ed is perfect right now!
