This is my confusion really im debating with. I dont know what roles will be out there once i graduate but i want to be in the best possible chance qualification wise, some job requirements want midwifery as the degree with experience of mental health in that area and then some say a nursing or midwifery degree with experience of working within a midwifery setting with children/babies/mums. On a nursing degree its very rare to be placed in a placement that comes anywhere near babies/children (unless on child nursing).
I think it will have to be one or the other so carry on nursing then complete a midwifery short masters , in total another three years at uni
or drop from nursing , pursue midwifery which again would be another three years but il be trained and have experience working directly in that setting.
I am just conficted which way i should be going, its a hard question to answer and even my uni doesnt know how to advice me, which i understand but surely there are career path examples out there somewhere lol
