Hello everyone,

I am new to this site and i've been reading some of your little stories which are fab so i thought i would join in. I'm a mature student age 37 and a mum with 3 children 15,12 and 3. I have just completed my first year on the Pre-Access course at my local college and will be starting my Access to health course this september.

My ambition is to become a midwife I have waited 15 years for the chance to study. Does anyone have any tips for me when i apply to several universities for the 3yr midwifery course i will be applying this september. I have been told it's extremely hard to gain a place on these courses. Any advise would be appreciated

Thank you all very much!!!!!!!
