Yes it is strange. When I told the manager I was a midwife she said it wont make a difference.

I am currently working weekends and although the money is excellent as I get all the good penalties I wish I could do normal things on weekends and actually have some time with DH. DH works away alot so I really need a job where I can manage on my own instead of not working and going unpaid as I am casual.

I know its going to be difficult especially with the time away from home for the res schools but so worth it after the year is over. I currently drive 50kms to work and the same back home but if I get this job its only 10kms.
