Hi Jen, The marking I was refering to is for 3rd year nursing students at Newcastle Uni. I was co-opted at the last minute as they (the uni) were desperate as someone had dropped out at the second to last minute from the casual teaching pool. I have been employed as a part time, academic mentor for this semester. It has been an amazing experience. It is astonishing how much work and effort the students have put into their assignments, the depth of research and the wonderful critical thinking skills they display with their topics - I'm in awe of them. We have some wonderful people coming through the nursing stream - I think the future is very bright indeed looking at the talent I'm working with and if the Bmid students are like these students... (and I know you are by the questions and comments I read here) the wave of change is happening .........and will soon be tidal.....which brings joy to my heart.
And, I've actually just started as Midwifery Educator at John Hunter Hospital, Newcastle - another source of joy for me :-) It's good to be home. I worked at JHH when it first opened 12 years ago as an educator for midwifery. I've also been working privately as a midwife with homebirth. Private practice has to go now I'm full time employed person BUT the good thing with John Hunter and the fabulous midwifery leadership is that the staff are supported and encouraged to provide continuity of care for women with special needs - like those who have had bad experiences previously, so I'm signing up for that. Very exciting and very women centred ideology/philosophy being expressed. There is also a lot of interest in the NMAP, so .... Probably a longer answer than you wanted Jen :-) warmly, Carolyn Hastie -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-ozmidwifery@;acegraphics.com.au]On Behalf Of Jennifer Semple Sent: Sunday, 10 November 2002 1:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Obs, brainwashing, hypnobirthing and horror stories - long Carolyn, Where & what do you teach?
