There are those of us out here who would LOVE to work in the midwifery field
again but dont get the opportunity. I currently work in NICU but still sign
my Intention to Practice every year. Every year at my supervisory interview,
i ask the same question, PLEASE can i get some antenatal. postnatal, labour
ward experinence, perhaps a 6 month swap with one of the other midiwves. I
love NICU and wouldnt want to move away from the area permanently, but a
rotational post would suit me fine. Thing is, I have posed the same question
for seven years and NOTHING has been done about it, despite promises!
There isnt as big a shortage as people make out. The4 midwifes are out there
but dont or cant get the post they want.
On another note (same grumble) the latest group of midwives that qualified in
our area couldnt get jobs. Something wrong somewhere!!
There, i had my grumble!
LOL
