    Hi Lorraine,

    Not many of us on here it seems!! I'm UCD also and have 2 girls aged 1 & 4. Sooo excited and nervous about it all. Only a few weeks now to our induction day. Apparently we are in Mon - Thurs along with 3 fridays from now to xmas and then it placetments etc.... That was a rough outline of timetable i got when i called ucd so thats what i've based childcare on for now but who knows! What ages are your 2 and have you sorted out care? I'm sure we'll meet soon. Deb.

    Hi Deb

    Oh I had heard it was mon - thurs, I wonder what the hours are, do you have any idea?
    I have 2 children son is 8 daughter is 3 - There is a fantastic thread on rollercoater.ie about Midwifery as a Mature Student, I have met many girls on that, one who will be starting UCD with us
    I cannot figure out how to use the private message facility on this, but if you like, pm me and I will give you my email address

    Are you attending the Critical Writing Academy? I am on the 17th 18th 19th 20th
    So nervous!

    Hope u are well
    Lorraine

    Hey, thanks Lo for directing me to this forum.:) Nice to have some more mature midwifery students to talk to, we are a rare breed.
    Had my medical today, it was weird being in the hospital where we'll be doing placements, made it all the more real. I couldn't believe how old the place was? it was a bit spooky i wont be looking forward to doing the night shifts!!!!:eek:
