squeefulfishI know this time of the morning, when I've been drinking, is not the best time in the world to be thinking of these things, but, er, what the hell. It's been ages since I posted while under the influence.
There's no way I'm going to be happy getting registered as a midwife and then stopping my education. Or rather, formal education that leads to bits of paper. So I'm pondering the whole MSc thing. Some poking of t'interwebs has given options of taught programmes within Ireland.
UCC requires two years post-registration experience for normal study, three if I want to do the strand that will lead to registration on the tutors register. [1] This saddens me, as Cork has the Palace of Cake.
UL state "at least two years" post-reg experience. Same with NUIG. DKIT don't offer taught MSc.
Queen's don't stipulate any post-reg experience. Interesting. Might have a bit more of a shufty there.
TCD, ahhhh, my beloved, you only want one year's post-reg experience and don't seem to care too much about the classification of my degree. "An honours degree in midwifery" is all I can see. And I have grown rather fond of the library *waves to Chlora* and the school. Yes, ideally I'd like to get a lot of experience under my belt before heading for my Masters, but if I get Schol next year... well... I can take a year's "break" from the entitlements and go back to do the MSc and not have to worry about fees. Or M-F dinner :)
Here's an extra funny, postgrad.ie have midwifery under "Alternative Medicine." In a way that pleases me enormously.
Now back to work on third year (I already know enough for the second year exams) to get me to the stage where I can think more on this. I think some light reading on Rhesus incompatibility would be excellent bedtime reading. Night all!
[1] At the minute I'm thinking that teaching might not be the worst idea in the world, and there has been some muttering of agreement there by various Important People. Jesus, Really Important People think I should teach. I can barely string a sentence together! Note: this would not mean leaving practice in favour of school, it would mean a more fun and varied life as I'd both be filling little heads with ideas as well as catching other little ones. Damnit, catching babies, is there anything better in the world? Gods, I so love what I do. Next milestone: catch my own.
