Griffith B of Mid

Just waiting lol. In a few weeks I will be too busy with a new bub to think too much about whether I will get in, although I am quietly confident that I will get into ACU - I have good enough results at least, both from school (sooo long ago now lol) and from uni. But like Mara, depending how things are with bub and whether I can sort out care for her (I don't want to put her in daycare because she will still be so young, so I have to find someone who will be willing to look after her for me), I might have to defer for 12 months. But in the meantime, it's just waiting waiting waiting.

Hi HJ

Have started my PCA. Just need a good few hours to sit down without distraction (i wish!!!) to get it finished, so just doing bits as I go.

Don't know how patient I can be to wait til Jan to find out if we get in! I know some uni's do an early round offer in Dec, but I know Griffith won't be for the miwifery. :pray:

Hope you're all doing well!

Hey mama,

can you actually apply through QTAC then submit the PCA later or do you have to do it at the same time?

HJ, thanks for your post in my other thread. I think you're right ;)

Roll on January 2009 :pray::pray::pray: we all get in!

Hi Mara

I've put my application in (online) and then just need to send the PCA in 14 days before first round offers are sent out (Beginning of Jan, but will do it asap!). WHen you do your online application it asks you about a pca and if you say yes it gives you a cover sheet to print out and attach to your PCA. Hope this helps!

So how is everyone going? has everyone applied now? We are getting closer to finding out whats in store for us!

I have applied to UniSA.

Also heard that the Griffith BMID is offered externally also! And that you can do your placement with a IM in 1st and 3rd year!!!!

So thinking of applying to it aswell. Need to do more research first.

yes I have applied. Griffith BMid first preference and Southern cross Uni BMid second preference.

Sara, good luck with getting into UniSA. It's tough isn't it, cause it's the only uni to offer it by distance ed. How come you are looking at changing from ACU?

Mara - I applied as another option. My girls recently moved back to Townsville with their Dad and I am trying to give myself as many option as possible so that if I decide after the Xmas break that I dont want to be away from them, I have other options.

At this stage I think I will come back to ACU but I will cross that bridge when I get there.

HAve applied for BMId at Logan and then BNursing at Logan. How many more months do we have to wait????? :doh:

Yay very exciting - we all applied! can't wait to hear that we all got what we wanted! i too applied for Griffith Logan!

That's great HJ. What were your preferences?? I'm still working on my PCA , nearly there! I keep checking the GU website to see if the unit information is up yet for the BMid but not there yet!

Anyone know how the pracs work and if we have to do them certain days?? Trying to figure out how long I can stay at my job for if I get in.

mama_supha - not sure on what does u do prac on - sorry can't help u there - but if u give them a call they are really nice and very helpful!
How far are u into ur PCA? i was thinking about doing one but didn't! is there a outline that u need to follow?

last time I asked, they didn't know what days prac would be as it's apparently up to the hospital. But from 2nd semester onwards it's 2 full shifts per week And they're usually week days.

Sara, it must be tough with your kids living away from you. HOpefully you get into UniSA so you can be closer to them.

Not long to go now until we find out!

How is everyone feeling?

Hi HJ

I'm still working on my PCA! Got one of my references done and have to get my next one done to go with my application. I keep going to write the rest of my application, as there is certain criteria you have to address, which is on the QTAC website.

Anyone else know what ranking you have on your application??? Also has anyone heard about early round offers and whether or notB of Mid students will be able to get an early round offer??

I've put nursing as my second preference and am happy with whatever I get, although it would be nice to get straight into Midi. Just hoping I get an early round offer so I can start planning for next year and my daughter's first year of school! :cry:

mama_supha - the PCA is sounding like alot of work! still worry that maybe i should of done one and sat the STAT but ohwell whats done is done!
How do u find out ur ranking on your application? do you know yours?
Haven't heard anything on early round offers so sorry i can't help you there!
Awww your DD starts school next year!!! how exciting! that will be good for you though with study! i got along time to wait before my DD is in school!

Hey Mama, I don't think Griffith has an early offer round :( but don't quote me on it. Have you all been getting the emails from griffith about the immunisation, federal criminal check and blue card requirements etc?

I have been! its very exciting isnt it!
