If you need any books such as nursing and the law, community wellbeing and a book on interpersonal communications etc, let me know as i have the previous edition of these books, and they are like brand new :) I used them in either 1st or 2nd yr but as the course has been reworked for thsoe...

Not sure yet, you get what you are given in your new grad year unless you choose a speciality like paeds or mental health. Im just doing a general rotation, maybe soemthing in cardiology or crit care based. Too many choices, ill hopefully be prepared to choose after this year.

Maybe take the time to study some more and stop sulking...The more time you put in the results will show

A masters is a degree many nurses i.e. CNC's, CNE's, NUMs etc study many years for. I had a tutor who was doing her masters part time whilst teaching and nursing, and a NUM whom i met on clinical who completed his masters in a research area of the risk of patient falls in hospitals. Consequently...

Midwifery is no easier than nursing, if you are failing then maybe you should consider putting more time into study or getting help from your tutors. Midwifery has its own difficults, i dont think you can say that helping to deliver a baby and all the possible complications that can arise are...

No you all graduate with the exact same degree, it doesnt matter where you studied as you all study the same material

I agree with purplemonkey, in terms of doing just a bachelor of nursing, UTS is a great uni for it, and i should know seeing as i have just finished and become an RN :) With USyd you don't get to start the nursing part until second year and it is only in the last yr of the degree that you get...

You dont have to scrub in as you arent allowed to touch anything for obvious reasons that you are just observing. But yeah im sure if you asked the dr's something they wouldnt just ignore you, during both the times ive gone to watch the head surgeons have explained things to me i.e. the section...

Yeah thats a compliment lol i feel i would be wasted in theatres, the whole standing around watching the same things day after day would kill me, cause the anaethestists do all the meds and fluids monitoring and you are eithering scouting things or standing there with the surgeons. However...

Final marks at the end of a semester are always given as a whole number, not halfs, so if the person is getting 49.5 it would be rounded up to 50.

With crit care unfortunately you cannot choose whether you do ED or ICU for your prac. However, you can change with people, and there is a big mix of ppl that go to both, so you have a good chance. And you never know you might end up enjoying ICU, i did ICU and at first i thought i prefered that...

They change the issues you choose every year. For all i know they could change the whole assignment and subject structure for this year, seeing as itll be 2yrs since i did the subject.

Yeps i used to be like that too lol flipping through the books and being all excited and then the work sets in and im like erghhh lol Yeah im excited yet scared at the same time. Its such a big thing now, like being in control of the well-being of so many people, but im excited i can finally...

Woah 4 HD's! Thats setting your sights high :P esp with the childrens nursing, seeing as a very fair few got HD's in that assignment which is worth 50%, i spent like 2 weeks doing the creative aspect and the essay and only managed a D. But i commend you on your motivation :) Ummm not sure...

Yep your correct just looked at the handbook and it is completely changed, not sure if it is as good as the old course as i have just completed it. There seems to be nomore sub-majors offered as patho is pushed back to yrs 2-3 instead of yrs 1-2. However having said this, if u have already...

This subject was a whole load of crap when i did it and from what i heard from some students it still was last yr. It was just alot about pregnancy stuff in the exam and like family circles and shit. But yeah the exam was definately alot about pregnancy, which is ironic as we are not midwives...

If you do not have anything constructive to add why bother posting?

That UAI would get u into nursing at UTS, which is the most renowned nursing course in NSW as it has over 90% rate of having employment once completion of uni. I can vouch for this as i have just finished and compared to many other unis, uts is great and has a good course. It also has very good...

Just study the stuff u learnt in class, the questions about the types of listening and nonverbal cues and that shit. Placements in 2nd yr are the same except u do mental health and for childrens nursing u will go either a developmental disability place or a childcare centre, no hosp wards for...

Yes all maths tests (except for calculations done in childrens nursing 2nd yr) are done without a calculator. Its just basic maths, like conversions from grams to milligrams, and working out how much med to give a pt etc.
