Primary school teacher to midwife

[lornz]

I am a qualified primary school teacher. It's a job I've wanted to do since I can remember (my dad still has my pretend registers from role play aged 6/7).

However I'm struggling to think this is my working life for ever 😔 the stress and workload is consuming and my school is not in the best position.

I want to know if any ex-teachers have retrained to become a midwife and if so how did you go about doing it?

Thanks lovelies.

I haven’t put I suspect after talking to midwives you would be out of the frying pan and into the fire.

I used to be a nurse and I’m thinking of going into primary teaching but I keep reading that it would be a terrible career choice!

I wouldn’t recommend nursing or midwifery. You will be paying for a 3 year BSc and getting into student debt. It’s really physically hard work, always understaffed, stressful and if anything goes wrong you lose your registration.

Your starting pay would be under 23k and unsocial hours too...
