Hi everyone, I'm finally thinking of taking the leap & starting on my way to my dream career of a midwife. I've wanted to do it for years but due to not only having babies ofmy own the past few years but being told again & again I would be no good in the job because I'd get "too attatched & blame myself if something went wrong" I've decided to follow my heart.

DD starts school next year & I'll have DS in daycare for at least 2 days a week & XPIL have offered to have hima day for me ontop if needed & I thought I could start looking into it. I know it may be a bit late to start anything next year but I can start the following year if needed.

So I'm wondering what do I need to study in NSW to start on my way to becoming a midwife. How long approx until I can start working as a midwife from when I start the studying? Someone mentioned I have to do RN before I can study midwifery... is that right?

Sorry for all the questions. I know there are a few midwives on BB so I look forward to your responses

TIA
