congratulations on finishing your access course. I have no idea when they hold interviews for paediatric nursing but couldnt leave your post unanswered. Best of luck and I hope someone on here has some answers for you.

congratulations charlotte
Hope your pregnancy is happy and healthy and I like your determination 
Hope everyone is well and doing well
Tracey, did you get to choose the location of the community placement or is it wherever is available? Hope you are still enjoying it.
Jena86 it all depends on where you are in your education. From GCSE's you could do an access to health and social care course which could lead to a midwifery degree. Midwifery degrees tend to be NHS funded, this site may be helpful to you : http://www.nhspa.gov.uk/sgu/default.aspx
Also the site below gives lots of info. Good luck

I am on community at wollaton vale so good placement and at city hospital for my hospital placements x
5/5/08 23:46
thanks hun. I'll probably do without a car but need to learn to drive at some point. where are you placed?
5/5/08 21:01
Forgot to say hun community is really good obviously there are loads of bits of repetition in terms of things you do but everyone is different its great 2nd week starts tomorrow! x
5/5/08 21:00
hey hun yes i drive and to be honest its the matter of getting there more than anything cos then you go around with the midwife, but personally i couldnt do without a car as i need to run around loads dropping and picking up my dd so its a life saver but i suppose depending on where you are placed you could potentially do without it hun x

hows working in the community going? Do you drive? I dont drive so I'm wondering how I'm going to manage with all the travelling.

I know they have an intake in March and September and i think you can put on your app form when you would be available from so i suppose you could if they asked you if you were successful at interview?? i am really enjoying it at the mo but it is getting heavy and heavy with assignments lol start comunity on tuesday so looking forward to that!
21/4/08 23:20
placement since december wow thats really long. Nice to see you again
Tracey did you opt to start in March? I'd like to start in March to miss out freshers week and I was wondering if its an option you can choose in the application process.

Hi everyone.
Gosh, feel like I haven't posted on here for aaaaages! I've been so busy and having a few nightmares (course related), so it's all been a bit mad..
Hope you're all well. I'm glad to finally be back in Uni after being on Placement since December! Coming back to Uni is a very welcome 'break', LOL!

I am lucky enough to be in the last intake for the Diploma, i go in the community a week on tuesday how scary lol.....loving it at the minute but its quite full on with the amount of info and correspondence in the first few weeks x
Hi girls. I hope you dont mind if i join you. Its always been my dream to be a midwife but at school i just didnt have the confidence in myself or my own abilities to persue it. I even had a weeks placement st the local maternity unit when i was for work expirience. But in the end up i cacelled it and went to do an office job instead. But now at the age of 23 with three children of my own i really feel ready and confident enough to finally go for it. Ive been looking into it and im in touch with someone at pailey uni. Ive applied for 2 different access courses and ive bought the myles, mayes and bailliers books. By the way i got all 3 from ebay for under £30 including postage. Ive had a quick read through and i wanted to say thanks to Emma for the information about the NSF and NICE. Ive copied the pdf's onto my computer so i can have a study through those. Thats about it really.
