I know this isn't the nursing student forum, however that area of the board is largely plagued with nursing students in America! I'm an Australian nursing student scouring All Nursing for any other Australian nursing students who might be interested in forming a study group (online or in real time, I guess it depends on our locations!) or even a resource group to further our studies and share experiences and resources.
It's kind of just an idea up in the air at the moment... I guess I'm wondering how many students there are out there from Australia, first! Perhaps if you exist we could have a good chat and form a group that could be of benefit to all of us and our studies and future careers.
Vaugely, these are some of the ideas that I had:
Study sessions (online or in real time) going by topics. For example by body systems (e.g. cardio, respiratory, GIT etc) and/or by types and areas of care (e.g. mental health, paeds, palliative care, critical care and so forth)
A email resource list with all members emails attached and perhaps a blurb about each person. If another member is looking for something in particular they may be able to find someone else on the list with experience in the area of interest
A forum for a whole range of new friendships of other nurisng students around the country!
Assignment help groups. For example if someone is having trouble with stats then they can ask the group for help regarding their stats assignment and the group has the opportunity to input/lend a hand
Perhaps we could set up our forum public forum and encompass all of these things... ?
Well no I didn't do any pre course, but I did very well in TAFE and College, so I should do ok. Plus ACU has a learn to write essay kind of course too while you are in the semester. I'll have to ask about that again.
I posted in this thread several years ago under a different username as a student. it's amazing to look back from where i am now (registered nurse working critical care) and see how far i've come. to any australian students reading this thread: you do become a competent nurse after all that time at uni. somehow, everything you learn at uni comes together when you step out onto the wards as a rn.
