Yeah, personal preference again.
I did the 3 year BMid in SA, & if Id *had* to do the extra year to add
nursing I prolly would have looked elsewhere (or written even more
letters to have it changed). The problem with a 'double degree' is that
it serves to maintain the fallacy that midwifery is not a distinct
profession, that nursing has to be in there somewhere. If we are going
to have double degrees with midwifery involved then I would prefer the
'other' degree was political science, or business studies, or something
that teaches one how to set up sustainable community structures.
Something that moves midwifery out of the mindset of a sub-species of
nursing, anyway.
Just my thorts
cheers
