squeefulfishRight, time to start thinking about the dissertation. Halp? I have four topics that I might work on, I'm only allowed do one. I have until December 2009 to do this, so plenty of time to conduct the research and hopefully find willing women to participate. Which of these is most likely to keep my attention for the next 16 months? (These are just general ideas, actual proposal to be worked on once I decide what area I want to concentrate on.) Or possibly also, which would bother you least about reading about for the next 16 months :)
Domestic violence in pregnancy and access to supports.
Non-heterosexual women's experiences of maternity care in Ireland.
Women's experiences of having a child with trisomy 21 or trisomy 18 that was not diagnosed antenatally. (Down's and Edwards' Syndromes respectively.)
The difficulties faced by non-English speaking women when trying to access maternity services in Ireland.
Uhh... there's nothing in my curriculum document about the weighting of my dissertation. In fact, it's not mentioned at all. Hmm. I know I have to do one, so it'd be nice to know what it's worth in terms of my degree.
And here's me panicking: I can't find my little blue book of competencies. This is a book that I need to submit at the end of my four years with all my midwifery skills signed off on. It's the record of my antenatal and postnatal exams, my catches (3! Please, let me lose my OP curse! I need another 37! Please let me get some night shifts in delivery in 4th year!), all the little skills that go to proving that I can do what I do. It's not where it should be.
