Child nursing to midwifery

Hello, I am wanting to do child nursing but also think maybe midwifery in the future. I know to do midwifery masters u have to be an adult nurse but could I just do another bachelors in midwifery or is that weird?

You can do a second bachelor's degree in Midwifery and become a registered midwife. In the NHS, is is referred to as being a dual registrant if you hold two different registrations with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and can practice under both roles.

It would be a lot of time spent studying as both are 3 year degrees - I would consider which pathway most interests you and perhaps choose that one first as you may find once you have completed the degree, you are happy with that registration 🙂
