Enquiry: Continuing education, oncology

[Karen White]

I am an RN with several years experience in the past in Oncology and have just returned to nursing after a break of several years. I wish to continue my education and am looking at studying for q Bachelors degree, probably with an oncology focus. I can do my studies either by distance learning or as an on-campus student at universities in either Australia or the United Kingdom. My difficulty is in deciding which course to choose as there are so many universities offering post-grad courses.

I assume many of your members have completed post-grad education? I am interested to know how your members chose their university/course, what they thought of the quality of their course/s, and whether they would recommend it. I would prefer to do my studies via distance learning as it is more convenient, so am particularly interested to hear any recommendations from nurses who have done degrees/post-grad studies by distance learning/online methods. If I was to go the Distance Learning route I wouldn't necessarily need to do it through universities in Australia or UK, so am interested to hear from nurses who have completed degrees via distance learning programmes in NZ and elsewhere as well as Uk/Aust.

Many thanks,

Karen
