Hello fellow ozmidders....
just a note to say hello to you all and to say I am still here lurking in
cyber space. I have just completed my pain/pharmacology exam today
(YEHAAA)...feeling great to have now completed 3 of the 6 semesters of the B Mid...yes I am
half way thru the course, can you all believe that!!!!!! I still can't. I
pinch myself every day, to make sure I'm awake and not dreaming. It only seemed
like yesterday that I sat at the NZCOM conference in Hamilton in 2000, crying my
eyes out I watched and listened to the NZ B Mid students present their
work...wondering when/if my turn would ever come, shouldered by Kathleen Fahy, who
told me to have faith and reassured me it would.....(Hi Kathleen if your
lurking :-) So glad I' kept the faith Kathleen!! )
I continue to be inspired by my midwife student peers from ACU, VU, Flinders
and UNi SA thru the B Mid Student Collective, which has grown to be an awesome
forum of wonderful women and midwives of the future - look out Darwin we are
invading!!!!!!!.....I met some of the inugural B Mid students from Monash in
Gippsland at a great seminar day the other week in which I was treated to some
fantastic work by Trish Davids G Dip students, on the 'Nature of Midwifery'
where we facilited some great discussion on the B Mid and how we will 'fit' into
the midwifery landscape. Again I was inspired by some wonderful midwifery
minds and great women.
This semester has seemed like the looooooooongest semester in
'herstory'....for me filled with 13 weeks of lectures/tutorials, essays by the bucket load,
four weeks of clinical placement, following thru 7 beautiful women in their
pregnancy and birthing journeys, two of whom birthed their babes into my hands -
what an honour!!!! I have worked alongside numerous midwives, each with
something unique and genuine to offer a wide eyed student full of questions. THis
journey new to them too, who have had an extended teaching role, having never
had before midwife students who need educating on drawing up medications and
giving injections, IV therapy, catheterisation...etc etc...placement for me was a
blast. I was exposed to so much - a variety of experiences all valuable and
rich learning.
Oh I love being a midwife!!!!!! (well I do again this week...pre exam not to sure)
