    Hi girls,
    I too have just completed my application for Nursing, I thought about Midwifery Nursing double but have decided that the competion is so fierce and the work load for nursing suits me alot better .
    I need to fine tune my application letter that needs to be in by the 28th , I have next Wed off work and DD is daycare so that is my plan. I need to get my certificates certified thank goodness my brother is a police officer and lives around the corner oh it is starting to freak me out..imagine me by January. I have only applied at the local Uni so I hope fingers crossed I am accepted and that I dont get pregnant (I'm doing IVF atm) I am going to make up my mind what to do IF both happens
    Argghhh

    Up until this year, UniSA required nursing students to do placements in first year. They now do longer placements in 2nd and 3rd year (with an extra placement in 2nd year) to replace the first year placement. This reflects the changes set by the "Authorities" when working out what requirements students have to meet.

    Having investigated the extra workload in Mid, I would agree that juggling the workload is tougher than any other degree (with maybe Medicine being an exception).

    Sara- you will be given workshop dates at the beginning of the semester when you enrol in the courses that have a workshop component.

    Emma - I would be interested to know which employers will employ if you haven't done a Grad Year. My experience is that it is very difficult to get work without having done a Grad Year. I have friends keen to skip grad year though so I'd be very interested to know who will employ without the Grad Year so I can pass it on to them... Perhaps it varies from State to State?

    Karina - def send in those certificates. Better to give them too much info than too little!

    Bec - Good luck with your application! If you do get pregnant and also get accepted into Uni, you could always defer for 12 months and then start Uni...
