What do you do? I'm a Registered Nurse and a Midwife

How long have you been doing it? I have been a Registered Nurse for 5 years and a Midwife for 18months

How did you get into it? I never put any effort into school until year 12 - when I realised I wanted to do nursing/midwifery in a rural hosptial, maybe even one day join the flying doctors- (I wanted to do midwifery and in order to do it you had to be a nurse, so I did nursing), and then I worked my butt off. But was too late and still didn't get a high enough UAI to get in. So I went through a back door route, was like a bridging course but one that gave me credit towards my course. It did take me an extra year to complete though (4 1/2). I then worked in nursing, mainly emergency and at rural hopsitals and then did my post grad to do midi - which I actually applied a year earlier but didnt get in then, so applied again the next year, and go in then.

If you could do any job in the world would you still do it? My dream would be to make a living off my artwork. I do love the work I do in this job, but the last place I worked ate my soul. it destroyed it for me. and I am only now just seeing the beauty in it again...and it might actually take a while to get my real passion for this job back.. but atleast there is no more soul eating going on.
I have often thought about being an undertaker...
