    Who got in?

    City campus is only 20min drive or 30min bus trip in for me, hence now having to travel over the bridge is a bit of a pain. Ive also gone to KG campus when i had to enrol and a few other times and the campus is just so out of the way from the main rd, and to get there by public transport its 2...

    Who got in?

    The stupid rules of the nursing faculty i guess, i think initially nursing back in the day was run at the KG campus and many of the nursing teaching staff have their offices there etc so in 3rd yr we get sent there. Dont worry at least u have 2 yrs to go till then, i have to enjoy the lovely...

    Difference between B Nursing & B Midwifery

    With nursing you do go over some basics about childbirth etc but you never learn how to deliver a baby etc. Basically if you think u might want to do both id advise doing nursing for 3yrs then doing a postgrad course about 12months midwifery after. Otherwise if u do midwifery for 3 yrs then want...

    who here works two jobs?

    Yea ive worked in hospitality as my first job, that was pizza hut. Now working at big w for quite a few yrs, even though its the shit job, it beats the food industry. I can't stand customers, let alone those who think things should be cooked within 2seconds. And i can imagine gloria genes...

    Nursing at Notre Dame

    Ahhh maybe you would liek to post this in the Notre section of the bored as most ppl here are at UTS and wont know much about the course. However i did have a friend who went to ND not for nursing though. The whole small intimate classes ends up being pretty boring seeing as its like a school...

    Question from a prospective student..

    I wouldnt say it would be very easy, seeing as if there are no ppl who drop out then there are no spare spots so you prob wouldnt be able to transfer. However my thinking on this is that seeing as in 3rd yr all nursing is at Kuringai (check with the uni if this will happen for you guys cause...

    Questions from a prospective student! (please help)

    Well ive heard about notre dame's course and it doesnt sound as upto UTS that and they do clinical during the holidays, but thats just my biased opinion :P In terms of the sub-majors this was what swayed me to UTS and not USYD. In my opinion, in the first 2 yrs u get ample time to dabble in...
