Is anyone else out there (apart from me and Kels) also studying this year?? If so what are you studying. I'm doing a BA with a major of Education (and maybe Maori still to decide if I want to double major). To go on and do a GradDip Prim Teaching. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I'm not studying at the mo, but might pick up some postgrad stuff towards the end of the year if I get bored, Wellington Neonates run some postgrad papers that are good so might go for them.

Hey all
I'm starting pre-health sciences next month (full time) which is the first step to getting into the bachelor of midwifery next year (providing I work my tush off and get good marks). Yay.

Nah Susie - never too old. We had ladies in our nursing class who were starting in their 50's after their kids had left home and they decided they wanted to do something for them. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

No you are never too old, when I worked up at Massey I spoke to a lovely lady in her 80's still doing a BA. Gen, i've do a Massey Psych paper really enjoyed it too. But wasn't keen on Sociolgy. Oh Fleur let me know if your out at Massey i'm there 4 days from when the semester starts so i'll be around. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Good luck to those studying! I finished my Bachelor of Teaching and Learning (Primary) last year, will start Masters in a few years but having a break for the baby thing. Hopefully I'll actually use my degree some day in the near future

I'm starting my Bachelor of Nursing degree this year, was gonna do social work but fate lead me in another direction. It's gonna be weird cos my little sister will be studying at wintec aswell, she's doing a Cert in Health Science and then probably do nursing the next year. Once I lose my weight I'll look young like her hehe so won't feel so old @ 23!!...Oh and luckily Kahtrell will be at the campus childcare so that settles my anxiety a lot! -------------

Well maybe i will look into it.I would love to do nursing as my dream job would be to work in a neonatal ward but even with Karitane training and nanny diploma they wont take you in postnatal wards or neonatal wards even though karitanes and nannies have baby experience more so karitanes from the karitane hospital training.
A bit silly that they dont use trained karitanes or nannies really too with shortage of midwives Nursing or teaching I think |

Hi Susieq i know what you mean that is quite weird how i thought they would be more inclined to use Karitane nurses as they are very good with babys and quite knowledgable.
Im studying my diploma in ict level 6 then will be doing my bachelor in information system at cpit this year wohoo semester starts soon wohoo!! cant wait!! Good luck to those who are studying! I know we will all pass :D hehe Cheers, Jess -------------  http://www.playtimemagic.co.nz - Playtime Magic - "Little minds can do great things"

I'm hoping to be in my last year part-time, but I keep saying that, and then finding another course to do!! I'm extramurally at Massey in Albany, doing post grad cognitive behavioural therapy, which is so interesting. I'm so looking forward to this year because it's all client work, rather than papers!

Jess, I did kinda. I started my degree in S2 2006 and then had Josh in Feb 2007. I studied right up until I had him (actually missed the exam as I was in hospital). But I decided not to study S1 2007 and start back S2 2007. However had some issues at home and my dr made the descision for me to stop studying. I'm heading back this year and so looking and hanging out for it. Exciting Jade, I enjoyed Congnitive Behaviour when I did my Psych papers. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

i had Taine while doing my teaching diploma, and Jake while doing my post-grad. Both fine, BUT you do have to be very well planned and try not to procrastinate.
also, those mature students always got the best grades at Massey, and always worked really hard too. |

Susieq - you are never to old to study! If you want to GO FOR IT! Don't let anyone say otherwise.
I finished my study last year June 06 and then found out a month later I was pregnant. I did my Bach.of Ed (primary). Awesome to everyone who is studying or going to. Well done on giving yourself wonderful opportunities http://lilypie.com">

I was planning a simular thing too for next year lol and Eva nooo lol 2 kids in two years is enough lol my youngest was a opsy thanks to a stupid midwife in aucks and me listening to her lol i like the small age gaps my oldest is 13 months now and my partners daughter is 3 next weeks and they get along really well and love playing together so i wanna try for a simular age gap but i plan on adding a few months to fit ttc around my studies but hmmm that plan might just be a dream at the moment as we have heard some unpleasent things regarding my partners sons mothers lifestyle so seeing a lawyer on thursday if we get him i dont think my partner will want to have another child :S whats that saying "its the way the cookie crumbles?" hehehe sorry for the long post kinda bored.
