As far as I'm aware, the university that you attend to study a Bachelor of Nursing does not affect your employability (i.e. this typically is not a primary consideration for aspiring nursing students). Based on this, and given your case, factors that play an important role in making an informed decision include fees, transport/distance, the life aspect of a particular university and whether you meet the academic requirement(s) for admission.
You will most likely receive an offer for ACU's Bachelor of Nursing since your ATAR exceeds the ATAR requirement for this degree, which is good as it adds a bit of certainty that you will still have the opportunity to study nursing in the event that you don't receive an offer from UTS (or another university). In terms of UTS's Bachelor of Nursing, your ATAR is very close to the lowest selection rank (LSR) of the full-time study option, being 78.95.

You can check the specific subjects and the level of performance required in order for adjustment factors to apply through the link below:
If you are sitting your HSC or IB but still need a higher score to get into your dream course, Subject Adjustments can help. It’s basically a point system that gives you a better selection ranking. For example, if you get an ATAR of 87 plus ten Subject Adjustment points, you can add the two...

Generally speaking, each university will offer some form of activities that will contribute to its social life aspects, whether it be through clubs, societies and events run by a particular institution. You should consider your own preferences in terms of social life and compare them to the activities offered at each university, allowing you to establish links and possibly assist you in choosing the university that is most suited to your needs:
