Here in Qld if you have done your Dip Nursing (EN) then you can RPL 1 year off your Bachelor of Nursing course.

Qld cut off dates for uni application are usually Sept 30 every year.

My tip for exams.... -
- start your study at least 2 weeks before the exam,
- write out/answer all of the learning objectives in your notebook.
- revise them over and over in the few days before the exam.
You'd be surprised what your short term memory can handle!
