<< Well done Tina You deserve a place of honour, not just a place. I hope the course is challenging enough for you. The midwifery profession needs more mature women who as new graduates are committed to taking on their own case load and not just shifts that suit their lifestyle. I wish you every success as you progess through your studies. Jan Robinson >> Hello Jan and others who have extended your congratulations and best wishes on my being accepted into ACU to study the Bachelor of Midwifery (I still can't believe it !!). My sincerest thanks to you all for your continued support and encouragement in my quest to become a midwife. The support, advice, and encouragement from members on this list is an invaluable resource for those of us learning the art and science of midwifery. Your wise contributions are highly valued and appreciated. Thank you. Thank you Jan especially for your comments. I can tell you now on behalf of members of the Australian Bachelor of Midwifery Student Collective, that central to our wanting to be midwives is independent practice (caseload), continuity and woman centred care. The future of Australian midwifery looks sunny and bright, and with continued support from our midwife mentors and wise women as our teachers, birthing can and will I believe be returned to women - the matriarchs of birth. Yours in birth, Tina Pettigrew Birthworks Independent CBE and aspiring B.Mid Midwife. Convenor, Aust B.
