Maths will come into play more in 2nd semester of first yr and 2nd yr when u start injections etc. But general maths should be fine :)

Yeps that shall be fine. It would be an advantage doing some science but what is learnt at uni isnt very hard and its just basic cnocepts, so its easy enough to learn then :)

Most likely not, since you are not paying any fees to them...

NSW Health runs a criminal record check once you apply for a job, hence when working through NSW health you don't have to keep reapplying to have CRC done. CRC's completed through uni are for uni placements only. And yes working as an AIN in first year u will most likely only get work in...

Refit is most likely another new jazy word for "recovery" associate. You basically work for late afternoon into the early evening, fixing up a specific area of the store. Mentally its not hard, after a while you learn where things go and how things should look, so that it all looks good for the...

Yea my first prac was week 4 or 5 and then we had another one in may, so 2 pracs in semester 1. Theyve prob changed it so you guys dont go straight into prac without much background knowledge, which is a good thing, your still going out on prac in sem 1 so thats good :)

Oh wow thats late, makes me think theyve changed how clinical is now scheduled nowadays. How many weeks of prac do you do in first semester? I was in a cardio ward :) very interesting stuff.

Been busy with prac for the past 3 weeks and now doing assessments. How are you first yr's going with thing, enjoying it all? When do you guys go on prac?

I just think its ridiculous that someone who hasnt even had 3 full nursing yrs of nursing training (as 2yrs are combined with another course) comes out with a masters. I was talking with a CNE aka nurse educator and they were like yea well these kids are coming out more qualified than me and ive...

Yes hmmm i agree, there is no nursing course at UNSW and highly doubt there ever will be.... I would however go with UTS :p bit of bias there but has been an awesome learning process so far. Theres also ACU, UWS, UTas, Usyd (but i have to disagree with their masters... total devaluation of...

Wow they still do that assignment for Discipline of nursing :P I suggest you get these books guys, they will def come in handy esp in 3rd yr when we're expecting to know all the stuff hmmm lol

I bought mine seperate but this was now 2 yrs ago so maybe theyve changed it. Just get what is advised by the uni, however most likely you wont use it all just like textbooks lol

Nursing labs and some tuts are held in building 10. As for pathophysiology that is mainly held in building 4. You will find out your timetables around about now? Im not sure as im in 3rd yr and we already have ours.

An id holder is where u place ur student id card and crc in and attach it to your pants or shirt via a clip. Usually come on a retractable clip so it can be easily pulled around to show ppl who you are during clinical. U can purchase this at the coop shop where they stock nursing/medical...

The uni has stethoscopes you can use. I bought a sthetoscope and have prob used its once since i began. I took my stethoscope to my first clinical and learnt that i could just use the stethoscopes there. All u have to do is alco wipe the parts that go into ur ear and its clean. Barely any nurses...

Congratulations :) See told u the vacancies at KG might work out :)

Yep no first aid certificate required, pretty sure thats med students who need that but they do get you to do an inclass cpr training and get signed off on that, dw its pretty straight forward :) And yes i agree try and get a hang on doing manual BP's and practice that on the wards cause it...

Does that one now stock the nursing equipment too or just the books?? If u want the equipment i.e. watches, i know u can try the coop "bookshop" up near broadway shopping centre. U walk along george st all the way past uts and on the st where u turn right ull see an oportos on the corner and...

Yea paeds is one of the most popular but ive also heard mental health follows closely behind. Kinda weird that i changed outta it since i was so set on doing paeds now for about 4 or so yrs :P

Yea i know ive done my uni schedule and its not that many days there but its still a pain in the ass having to drive out there :P Clinical will prob be like 6-7 weeks all up each semester probs seeing as we're never there.
