Hi Sara,
Samantha is correct in that the Bachelor of Mid at UniSA (and all other Uni's) will only qualify you as a Midwife. To graduate as an RN in addition to a Mid, you can do the combined Nursing/mid course which is 4 years as opposed to three. If you decide to go and do mid now and then follow up with nursing later, I think Post-Grad nursing is till 2 years. However, if you were to do it the other way (Nursing and then post grad mid), Post-Grad Mid is only 1 year (at most Uni's). I can't explain the difference - just what I've noticed in the past.
There are several Uni's that offer the combined Mid/Nursing degree - but I'm not sure how many offer it externally. I think someone mentioned an alternative in the "Nursing and Midwife students or wannabe's" thread to UniSA.
Good luck with your decision!
MG
