Just wondering if you've found out which unis would be best for nursing in Aust ?

all nursing threads are never answered It's such a shame

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

 

[Dr_Fresh]

just go to the uni most convenient for you. ur guaranteed employment.

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

Btw does anyone know how to become a nursing practitioner ? I'm slightly confused by the information I've found Lol

 

[Dr_Fresh]

there arent many nursing students on these forums. but all courses have clinical experience (some maybe SLIGHTLY more than others). dont know what u mean by nursing practitioner

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

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*

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
