Hi Jo,

thanks for the info. I did think I wouldnt qualify for a student loan so have already worked that into the equation.
I'm going to subscribe to the practising midwife, as well as keep abreast of the changes via this forum and MIDIRS, the RCM etc. I want to be as prepared as possible, and make sure that I will have enough time to study BEFORE I apply. I think I should, as my LO will be in preschool by then, so any study days will be just that. Plus, bedtime is 7-30 so that leaves a good couple of hours every evening, and weekends.
I just wanted to see what everyone was doing, outside of uni. I'm surprised there's such a high drop out rate tbh, but I guess some people just cant fit it all in. I dont want to be one of them, hence the research!
