Hi Guys,
I am currently a third year student midwife, I will qualify in September this year :biggrin:
I am wanting to move to preferably NSW area and begin work as a newly qualified midwife. I am completely lost as to where to start. There seems to be a lot of conflicting advice about what to do and how to do it. Was wondering if others have/had this experience and could perhaps shed a bit of light on the situation.
I have researched that i could potentially undertake a Graduate Midwifery Programme (which a I understand is similar to our preceptorship) Whilst a few hospitals do not even require this.
I have been trying to look for jobs or even just contact numbers for further info from employers but this is proving difficult and I am unsure as to whether an agency would be useful or not.
Am I right in thinking that I will have to wait for my UK pin from the NMC before I can apply for registration from AHPRA??
And why is the IELTS exam necessary??
Sorry for the 20 questions.
Any help would be massively appreciated.
Thanks
Bailey xx
