Year 1 Calling all wolvehampton student midwives

:help: Hello all, i was hoping that some one could help me?
I am applying to wolvehampton uni in 2013 but with 2 small children at home i will need to consider child care arrangements.
could someone please post a copy of an average 'classroom' weeks timetable?
also what was your first day or week like???
i really need a realistic idea of what im letting myself in for
THANKYOU!!!

hi, i take my hat off to all you moms that do this course with young kids, i know i couldnt have done it, but that doesnt mean it cant be done. there a re a lot of moms with kids in my cohort sept 2011, who manage perfectly well.
a normal uni week is usually 9-4 or 1-8 depending on the rooms and tutors but you are only in uni for a few weeks out of the year. 2 - 4 week blocks at a time the rest is placement based and you start within the first 4-6 weeks. depending on placement, delivery suite, wards, community anc, shifts can be 7-3 or 1-9 or nights, 8.30- 5 clinics and community, long days 7am-9pm, weekends included usually 4-5 week blocks on placements. its better you know and be prepared than start and have to give up. good luck in your application and i hope you achieve what you aspire to do, x hope this helps.

Thankyou very much, seems do able lol! this does help thankyou. i didnt really want to go into this based on guessing lol,
do you get paid for placement work or not?
how full on are assignments ect...?

no you need to apply for your bursary, income based and you can claim for childcare, but it has to be registered minders,nurserys, student loans awell,
this is a full on tough course, a new curriculum was launched this year and we are the first ones to do it, and it is HARD! harder than i ever imagined, assignments rely a lot on reading, as does the whole course, legislation research nice guidelines, nmc, midwives standards, research and evidence, it really does challenge the brain cells, and time, you need to be a good time manager. no one said it is easy, just worth it ! lots of work, mentally and physically,x

woah lol! didnt think this was going to be easy an now im more determined than ever lol, thankyou for taking the time to reply and i hope your enjoying the course!!!!
GOODLUCK TOO!
