I have great news

Post by Princesslaughton »

Hello

I have not been on here that much recently and no stitching has been done as I have been in a bit of a hectic few months. I applied to study a BSc Midwifery and in the UK it is very hard to get onto a course as 1000+ people apply for 50 or so places. I have been interviewed and put 100% into the interviews and all the research building up to them. Today I finally got told I have been lucky enough to be offered a place starting September this year. I am so happy and feel like it has been a whirlwind of a ride but I got there and in 3 years time I will be a midwife.

I can get back to stitching now and need to get things finished before September as my course will take up a lot of time so wont get to do loads then.

Just wanted to share my good news with you all

xx Take care xx

That's WONDERFUL news! Well done!! :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

As someone who went through the same thing trying to get onto a speech therapy course recently, I totally understand how difficult it is and just getting onto the course is a major achievement (unlike you I gave up and pursued a different path). With your motivation and determination I'm sure you'll do extremely well.

Congratulations! :dance:

Many congratulations and very best wishes for the course. Midwives are in such great demand down here, so I was surprised to hear that it is so difficult to get onto a course.

Congratulations!! So pleased for you, great job getting in.

My sister did 21/2 years of her midwifery training and gave up, but she didnt have the real desire as you do.
