Hello all,

I just thought I would pop in and actually post something rather than lurking.

I decided a couple of years ago that I want to be a nurse - I work in an office job and have done since leaving school, and I hate it. No interest in it and no job satisfaction for me... SO, I've applied for Nursing at uni a couple of times, but I must be so dodgy because I never get in!! I totally bottomed out in my HSC, so much so that I have considered doing my HSC again, but I am a bit too chiken for that.. I havent studied anything even remotely nursing related so maybe thats why.

Some of you mention the STAT test... Does it increase your chance of getting into uni if you do well on STAT but did really bad in year 12, or will it sort of just even it out and make not much difference? Does anyone know if they still use your yr 12 scores after 6 years of being out of school??

I REALLY want to apply for nursing at uni again, hopefully next year. Theres a really great nursing and midwifery program at one of the unis near me, but its very competitive to get in. My specific interst is midwifery but I dont think I will be able to get into it without doing at least some of a nursing degree beforehand since you need a much higher TER for it.

ok thats all. I'll just go back to lurking now I think.
