That I've been accepted on an Access To Higher Education Health course, a step closer to becoming a student midwife :o I start 5th September

I've not been this excited in ages!

Anyone else going/gone back into education?

Awww fab well done :)

Congratulations!!

Well done you!

Enjoy all your free time because it sounds like you're not gonna have much from now on

YANBU Be very proud of yourself. Go you!

Hurrah! Well Done!!!!!

Have a brilliant time.

Have you got a new bag and pencil case?

The NHS is a bit shit but midwifing is the best job in the world.

Well done, I'm doing an OU degree and loving every minute of it. Have a brilliant time and be very proud of yourself.

Yep me. I start my second year soon. I have a new pink pen that lights up when I write. :o

Congratulations and enjoy it.

Well done!

Hooray! That is great!

Yes I need to go stationary shopping weeeeee!
I want a pink pen that lights up :o

Thanks everyone! Glad I'm taking the plunge now, sick of being stuck in a dead end job.

Got into uni 2 years ago to do a nursing diploma, but couldn't go because my mum got a brain tumour. When I finally got chance to apply again they no longer do the diploma and dont have the right qualifications to do degree.
Blessing n disguise really because midwifery is for me

klad how are you finding it?

lurked open university? What in can I ask? X

Well done

I'm a bit (a lot) apprehensive starting my TA level 3 in Sept. Been out of education 19 years and worried I'm just a bit stupid now.

Congrats an enjo the course

I'm enjoying it but am very stressed. I think as a mature student you can put more pressure on youself than you would have done at 18. I have to be very displined to get everything done. I have a fixed time every day that is my study time. I'm very scared about the second year as it has exams

Congratulations Ghost - sounds really exciting!

I'm doing work towards an OU degree (Social Policy and Criminology) and on to my first level 2 course - just got my books through and have bought some new stationery, even though I had stuff from the level one course last year!

I don't know if what I'm doing will be anywhere near as useful for a career as yours is, but I missed the immediate satisfaction and acknowledgment I got from doing a good job (I'm a SAHM, and I love the DCs but I felt a bit lost) where I used to work and thought doing something like an OU course would give me that kick up the arse I needed.

Now you have the perfect excuse to look at lots and lots of stationery...mmmm, pens!

Well done op. Thats brilliant.

Most important bit of stationary is a set of highlighter pens.

I use them to highlight the different parts of my assignments. Good luck!

I'm starting Social Work. In a second language. Crapping myself! Good luck to you all!

Congratulations

Congratulations ghostship !
I hope you have a great time, I went back last October.

Congrats!!! How exciting. Im starting at sheff hallam in 29 days (not that im counting) to study midwifery!!! Woohoo. Ive been waiting so long for my course to start.

Good luck everyone!

Love the name traineebabycatcher :D you need one of these hoodies hope you enjoy the course!

Congratulations. I am embarking on my third year of an open uni course in October.

Again a huge congratulations.
