I am in my sixth year of high school and I want to either pursue a career in nursing or midwifery. I am still not sure which direction to take and I want some advice on which would be the best career option.
I know that once registered as an adult nurse that you can do a midwifery top up degree which is 18 months but most of these are in England and as I live in Scotland, this would be an issue for me.
If I do become a nurse, I would like to be dually registered as I feel like it would give me more choice, I’m thinking about adult and child even though I am drawn to child more but I don’t want to be limited and i’m not sure how easy it would be to specialise.
I am also drawn to midwifery because I love the idea of helping women through their pregnancy and delivering babies, but I still feel like I would be limited.
If anyone could help me decide which would be best for me, or any registered nurses or midwives can speak from experience about the job this would be great! Thanks x
