It was recently stated at the Review of Maternity Services Forum, that the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital will NOT be employing graduating Direct Entry Midwives! There are however, DEM's already employed there currently e.g. from NZ. However, 3 years is a long time and I'm sure by then things will be different. Hopefully QLD will catch up with all you other states and by then and might even be producing our own DEM's! Good luck with your studies. Midwifery is a WONDERFUL profession (though not without it's challenges!)

My name is Holly I'm a first year bmid student at uts in nsw. This is the first year nsw has run the course and I am one of only 29! We all feel very honoured to have been chosen to do this course but overwhelmed and a bit scared!! I have four children who keep me very busy, but a fantastic husband and a very flexible nanny who have been my lifeline in the first four weeks (only 3 years to go! yipee!!) > > So my question is : I'm doing a critical reflection on an incident i observed in delivery 2 wks ago. I'm after articles etc that are about fear of pain in labour which can lead to ineffective pushing. Also relevant would be articles on how the pain of labour/childbirth can lead to delayed bonding between mother and baby. > > Pardon me if I use incorrect language in my descriptions (i'm struggling with the politically correct stuff). > > I'm also interested in knowing if Royal Hospital in Brisbane will look at employing bmids in 3 yrs time? I think someone on here is from that hospital? > > Thanks for you time and help in advance. > > ps - I have searched [EMAIL PROTECTED] with limited success > -- > This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. > Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe. > -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
