Yeah, you just need to provide evidence that you've commenced the hep b course. You don't need your first aid certificate but if I remember correctly you have to pass a short in-class CPR practical test, and get a sheet signed before going to clinical; it's very straight forward. You also have...

Yeah, I know a few people commuting from Bankstown. It depends if you want to do it or not.

Apparently Peads is waay more popular than any of the other electives, changing courses out must be easier than going into it. As a note I've also heard that the Children's hospital in Westmead has the most new-graduate interviews because of first preferences, but don't quote me on that ;)

11 weeks clinical makes me think, that must be why it goes into holidays...

I found that Biology helped, particularly the communication elective. Advanced english helped with my essay writing skills, and all Chem did was pump up my UAI (thanks Chem!). My boyf did Health for his HSC and sometimes when I mention certain diseases I'm studying in class, he says that he...

Never fear, I know a girl in my classes who transferred from ND to UTS, if you want to swap over, it can be done :)

Heya, so it's the last year of B. Nursing for us :D What majors and submajors have you chosen? Have you thought about what hospitals you want to do your new grad year at? Myself, I've chosen a Mental Health elective and submajor. I originally chose a Peads elective but I changed over to mental...

Ouch, sounds suspiciously like the the uni wanted people to repeat subjects so they would get more money... I've heard of from one of my teachers that 3rd UWS students didn't complete some sort of subject so they couldn't register that year, and there was a really big scandal, I'm not sure if...

2nd year seemed heavier to me, med-surg nursing classes seem more advanced but at least the people in the class are more switched on :) A higher standard of assignments are expected, I found I had to lift my game even more to pull a D assignment. Just plan ahead of time, don't be afraid to ask...

If you're interested in the following places to study nursing, with the introduction of new spaces the UAI cut offs should most likely drop significantly. Article with all the details: http://www.nswnurses.asn.au/news/16071.html

You can't just call a university good or bad as a whole. You have to look at it faculty by faculty, and see what the reputation is for the graduates within the field. Mum did nursing at USYD ten years ago and it just looked like tonnes of theory. My parents attempted to persuade me to go to...

I'm feeling pretty confused right now, seeing as I did not write my post to be immature... If anything, you're the one coming off as immature by "laughing" at me when I gave you a serious reply. I replied to your post to sincerely help you. I've seen it happen to forums before, some whingers...

How are you finding it? Good/bad, etc? :)

Heh who cares if you flake out, the average person changes their career 5x in their lifetime. Even if you do want to do something else with your life, you could have course credit from Patho if you want to do a science or health degree :)

:| I just said that I looked up the info online. Thanks Spence and Jase, I appreciate it :D

Yeah, even though you have labelled it as a rant, the bottom line is that it is negative energy and that nobody cares for that. We don't come online to hear whinging, people want to talk and have some fun. You would be surprised at how many people at K'gai travel 2hrs+ to get to the campus. If...

http://www.handbook.uts.edu.au/dab/ug/c10059.html try reading here for entry requirements. One of my friends transferred from nursing into primary teaching and from memory she had to officially drop out of her course, and apply through UAC with an average of her marks as a UAI. You should give...

"Shit, mum's home...."

2 days ;) I do the lecs at home...

I'm considering taking the shuttle, the only problem is that I have no idea where these places are from the online info. All I have is: Bus stop locations Broadway (City Campus) - Building 1 Level 2 (carpark area) (but where in the carpark... How do I get to the carpark?) Markets (City...
