[happyhappymummy]

Would be so so grateful if there are any nurse/midwives qualified or training out there that can help me with a few questions.
Thanks :)

you can pm me if you want?

What kind of questions! I'll try...!

Oh thankyou :) Ok just give me a sec to figure out how. Sorry new to the site :s

Yep am nurse and now trainee health visitor

Oh fab!
Im 34 a single mum to 3 children. 16, 7 and 4. My youngest starts school sept and I have the opportunity to study.
My dream job is to become a midwife. I will have to do an access course, as I have no qualifications. Im worried as I wasnt very academic at school.
Iv heard this is intense. I know this is around school hours so possible.
Im wondering about the degree. For someone in my position.
Is it possible? (for a single mum)
How competative?
Hours of training?
Job prospects? Salary?
Im wondering if its just a dream. I really need to earn an income as I cannot rely on my DC father, or anyone else for that matter.
Iv had a tough year and have realised that I need a good income. I question can I do this??
Any advice welcome :)
