I want to be a midwife but how long does it take to become fully qualified. I always thought it was around 10 years ?

If you are at school, you will have to go to college and do something like Health and Social Care for 2 years before going to university to do a midwifery degree which lasts for 3 years if you are studying full time. I have seen a lot of answers on here with regard to questions about midwifery suggesting you have to do a nursing Diploma or Degree and then go on to specialise. I can assure you that this is not the case. Go on to the UCAS website (www.ucas.ac.uk) to find out which unis have midwifery on their prospectus.

I'm in Texas, so answers in your state may vary some. After you have your high school degree, there are two midwife positions. The first one is a midwife assistant, the training for that is about six months and the hourly pay is extremely good but your income will depend on the how many births you attend etc. The second is the midwife herself (there are some midwife guys too). The training on that varies so widely from state to state that you need to go to a good library and ask the reference librarian to help you find the rules. Nurse-midwives tend to say you must be a nurse which isn't always true. In some states, it is about a year or two of training. In others, you have to be a nurse which is four years of training and another couple of years of midwife training. BTW, there are tons of scholarships for nurse's training.
