There is such a shortage currently of nurses, I really don't think a uni will set you apart as long as you get the qualification

I'm aiming to go to one with a course structure that allows for the most clinical experience .. I think it'll make all the difference between me enjoying uni and hating it because I'm stuck in a room all day

I have a friend who wants to become a Nurse.

She is in Year 12 now and I remember her telling me that throughout Year 11 and 12, she was doing a TAFE course for it.

UTS from what I've seen is great for nursing, with the new hands on robot lab :p

UTS are deemed to offer the best nursing program, yet there is really no difference .. Sydney's is a new course, so that'll have its pros and cons .. Convenience like Dr_Fresh said is what the ultimate decision will come down to .. I'm still aiming for medicine, either undergrad or grad though *fingers crossed* :p

Btw a nursing practitioner is a RN in which has greater responsibilities than a normal nurse.. I know they need to have a few years experience working in the job, But I was unsure about much else.. I think it's simply an application to the board, than go from there :)
