become a midwife

Looking over all my options for nursing school, It’s hard to know where to start. This whole month has consisted of research after research, paper work after paper work; Just to make sure I’m going the right way about it.

I love it when my youngest sister looks at me and smiles. The other day she said as we were looking over my gross anatomy books “I want to be just like you when I’m older, do you think I could be a nurse to?”
It made me feel important, that I meant this much to her. That me making something of myself meant something to her as much as it did to me. I can’t wait to reach this milestone, I’m going to enjoy every minute of it, even the hard and aggravating parts =D

Today I Realized I’m doing this for them

I would love to become a midwife, but it is not a short term goal.

well, it has been a long road to even finally apply…

I am still deciding between 2 schools, but at the end of the summer I will know which one and be applying for the 2010 school year. Yippee!

After being accepted to B of midwifwery in Vic, my partner decided he didn’t want to move. So last year I began a B of Nursing at my local uni and I love it! only 5 years p/t to go!!!

I was checking out the course content for the midwifery course at my uni. Its the first year they’ve run the course – and it makes it a lot easier because previously you would have to become a nurse and specialize in midwifery afterwards.

It looks interesting – still something i’d eventually love to do. Still a far off dream. Im focusing on getting the design degree for now. Maybe i’ll go back to uni to study Midwifery one day.

Have been accepted into a direct entry degree in Midwifery so in three years I will be fully qualified! Can’t wait

so i now work where midwives sometimes are, and that’s a nice step up. i also get to be near laboring women, but i am as of yet, nowhere near practicing. since i settled on the cnm life, there are years more to come. this job thing has been way educational though. i know how the system works from the inside even if i don’t agree with it or understand the why of it.

I LOVE my job, best of luck to you ladies!! The world needs more midwives

i absolutely loved doing clinical on the OB floor. i can’t get over that feeling when you see a woman giving birth. my main goal with my nursing degree is to be a midwife! i have fertility problems and there is a chance i won’t be able to get pregnant. it was the coolest feeling (that sounds kind of dumb) to help deliever babies and help the new mother learn and explore everything.

I’m an apprentice midwife in northern Calfornia. I am almost a year into my apprenticeship, and about 4 years into my studies total (I’ve not been studying non-stop) and I’m actively looking at clinical sites to get some “numbers” for my license. Its an amazing journey and I often wonder if I’ll ever reach the finish line. But I’m doing it a day, a birth, at a time and its enough for now.
