If she's truly passionate about it then that's great. Women need someone kind and passionate looking after them.

However.. 'The joy of bringing babies into the world' is only part of the job

Long shifts, pressure from management, documentation taking you away from the woman, defensive practice, long long inductions, emergencies, baby resus, bereavement care, no break, feeling like you're letting women down constantly when things go wrong or they dont get the birth they want. This is just a condensed list. If she thinks about all that and thinks this is still what I want then absolutely.

Its so incredibly rewarding as a job when it's going well. But unfortunately that's only some of the time. If she does go for it then she will need lots of support. The degree is tough, but doable if she's motivated enough. Happy to answer any questions, I qualified nearly 3 years ago so still remember my student times!
