Hi Tania,
I understand how keen you are,but all of us have to practice
within the constraints of what we are registered and trained to do, otherwise we
could face legal issues. Bmidders are trained in
basic nursing skills and specific ones appropriate to caring for
women.Those skills may tr
Hang in there all you lot, it must be hard I know. Here is one
RN trained midwife (and I too am jealous - there was no B-mid when I started my
training) who will stick up for the B-mid course and its participants at every
opportunity (and there are a few). I think you're right, whoever said i
Hi Tania
Just a quick reply as I am about to run out the door.
Not being able to be relocated to other wards is not my point of view at all, but rather a restriction on my registration. Here in Vic, we are registered as Div 1 nurses with restrictions to practice mid only. I understand t
Hi Sadie
I understand what you're saying about the RN certification
etc. It just seems that, from my perspective at least, that in some units staff
seem to think that because we are direct entry midders we know nothing - because
we don't have the RN registration behind us also. So, therefore,
Hello all Bmids and all midwives.
It would be wise for hospitals to look closely at what really is value for
their dollar. Jack of all trades and master of none is not the way to go.
Multiskilling translates as deskilling. Also, if you are not an expert at
anything hospitals can avoid payi

Interesting to hear this from an agency, although I am not
surprised. Agencies will feel very nervous about a new breed of midwives. In
fact I think this will be common to anyone who has not worked with theBmidders
as students.
I feel there needs to be another kind of stepping stone

Hello to all Bmidders!
Now don't give up. But also, while I hear and almost
feel your anger Kim, if you are not careful that will come across at job
interviews. The world of nursing changes slowly although being an oldie myself,
it didn't change for decades but we are in a cycle of change no
hi Sadie as a de midwife iam employed by a private
hospital ( as well as a large hospital for women here in sa. We are
also not allowed to relieve for meal breaks ect or allowed to work in any

Hi Tania,
I am a direct entry midwife trained in the UK which is the
same as your BMid course. I work in Perth, and even though I was an auxiliary
nurse before training (no certification), I am not insured to do 'adult nursing'
- that means I cannot relieve for meal breaks in emergency or wor
hi all
I have just got off the phone from a large nursing agency to
be told that as a Bach mid grad they would not employ me as once again the
hospitals concerned would not have us working in their wards. I was then told
that I should have kept my enrolled nurse status and not registered as
Hi Kim
I was interested in your comment about not being able to be
relocated to other 'wards' - is that from your point of view or others'? I'm a
current Bmidder at UniSA and in our first year, we did a 'general nursing'
placement on a surgical ward to enhance confidence and skills in the

Sorry Jenny but that is just crap! How could that overlook all that experience!!! I was a new grad so my situation was a little different although I make no excuses for their behaviour!!! I sincerely believe that the system is about to take a new direction and I'm told by 'guru's' that ha

You are not alone in your efforts to obtain employment. I have

Good to know that those who failed first time have
continued, and there were jobs for those others.
Hello again Marcia and others interested in this thread.
Thanks for your intro Marcia. It's always nice to know who you are talking to. I guess I have become a bit guarded regarding my midwifery qualification as it's been a torturous road to find a supportive environment in which to pract
