It is very different here Brian and many people do not get higher qualifications until they are much older. I decided to persue a different avenue and went for a Nursing registration when I was 19. I never fancied going to University so doing the RGN was an alternative. I then went to Uni and got a Diploma in Midwifery followed by mentoring and clinical assessing qualifications.

I finally bit the bullet and did a part time degree whilst working full time. It was 5 years of hellish hard work trying to meet assignment deadlines whilst working shifts. I graduated last year (at the grand old age of 38) with a BSc (Hons) in Professional Studies of Midwifery. I don't even want to think about doing a Masters just yet..

Congratulations to Annie.
