Thanks for the support. But what do I say to these ppl??? Some of them are close friends!!! I already tried the whole "but in the UK its always been this way...you dont have to be a nurse", and I get the, "but this is Australia" thing. It furiates me. Frankly, I dont care if Ill be less of a midwife!!! I just want to do it. I definitly dont want to nurse, dont care if Im a team leader or not, and I dont care if I get paid less!!! If I had to go through a degree of nursing first, to be honest, I wouldnt do it. Ive also been told that I would be paid less than a midwife who was a nurse first, and that it mustnt be a very good course because it only runs for 3 years. Ppl are afraid of change.

I honestly believe midwifery is a profession in it's own right so if this is so then it should have it's own degree, so go for it. All these negative people will just have to start getting there head around it, it is here now and it is here to stay and I would like to think increase with each state/territory taking it on. And if you don't feel like taking them on then just ignore them, fed up with the negatives, yours in midwifery pete malavisi. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
