Joyce,
As far as I am aware the ENB stipulate that students are required to
complete a specific number of theory and practice days during their course
(UKCC Midwives rules and code of practice 1998). Nurses are governed by
different regulations which I think may explain the disparity.
Regards
Tina Harris
Senior Lecturer in Midwifery

anything to do with the women we care for...besides we only have to work

definitely not achieved in our part.. We are in the lecture rooms inbetween
work, mostly when I initially book a woman, I will not see her until she
come to the delivery suite or at home postnatally...
