    Hi i'm not sure where to put this so mods feel free to move it!

    I would like to become a Midwife and train in Cork. I dont have much of a Leaving Cert although i did do it and pass everything(one higher subject, two ordinary and 2 foundation).

    I have no idea where to start in relation to courses. I am 20yo but did my leaving at 17.

    If anyone can help or has advice i would be so grateful!

    You can do a plc in midwifery/nursing and then go onto a midwifery degree.I know there's one in Cavan Institute and if you ask in the local vec down in Cork they should be able to find you a course nearer to you..! Your leaving cert shouldn't really matter for a PLC as far as I know.:D
    Just so you know though its really hard to get into nuring/midwifery in Ireland with a plc so you should be willing to travel to England and other places,besides cork unfortunately

    Haha well I'd say the plc would be a good place to start anyway:) My mam teaches on a nursing plc and she says loads of people bring their kids away to college with them but its obviously not an option for everyone!
    Just forgot to mention that theres no fees in England for nursing there's a busary!
