Was just wondering???
 
:confused: Hiya, have been thinking about my nursing recently and I know it's time for a change, I've been working in the operating theatre for about 20 years on and off, mostly on. Stopped off in 1987-88 to do my midwifery training, and this is what I'm wondering about!! At time of qualification I couldn't get a job, so panicked and went back to general nursing, but was wondering if I would be able to retrain or 'something' in aus.

I was reading a post on here from a midwife talking about skills, cannulation,suturing, taking blook, etc, well I can still do all that, but, I realise i will need retraining in the modern midwifery way.

So any info from aus would be interesting to me. Thanks alot :)

If anyone is thinking...god what age is she...I am 103 ;)

Now stop lying, we all know you're way older than that :D


Seriously, I'm sure you will be able to do it. I may even look into it for you. Tomorrow though, I'm too tired (and drunk) right now.

No hun I'm not a nurse, I was just being nosey :D

I have a very adverse reaction to blood and sick :eek: (and I used to be a first aider PMSL, don't know how I ever passed that!)


I could have swore it was just on this first page, but then again I have had lots of beer this weekend. So it could have been anywhere really :rolleyes:
