Blog post one, here we go.

This page is designed for those thinking of becoming a Midwife or Nurse, those currently studying to become a Midwife or Nurse or those who simply have an interest in what it would be like to be either of the above. Over the next 4 years, I will be documenting my personal experience studying a double degree in Midwifery/Nursing in Western Australia. Please do also keep in mind that there may be slight variances between institutions and countries on what is learnt and when, so I invite this to be an open space for all to discuss their opinions and feelings. 

My name is Emma and for all my life I have wanted to be within the healthcare field, I graduated with a Bachelor of Health Sciences in 2018 but very quickly realized that is not what I wanted to do as a career. Midwifery and Nursing has always been something that I have wanted to pursue and I am now fortunate enough to be able to follow my dream.

This blog will be a personal diary to me over the next 4 years of my double degree. I will try to adapt to being a ‘mature age’ student (rude, I’m 24), get myself back into the swing of assignments and all-nighters, and stumble through various practical shifts at hospitals. 

I’m looking forward to what my first semester brings and hope to have you along for the ride.
