Hi,I hope to get into nursing this year and study at Griffith Uni on the Gold Coast, I applyed on the basis of previous qualifications (bachelor degree in veterinary science obtained oversease after 6 years full-time study) and stat score. Now, I'm worryed that i won't get an offer from Uni and I'm thinking to apply for a nursing course at tafe as well, maybe this will increase my chances for next year
. Have any of you got into nursing school by the basis of stat score? What score do I need to have a good chance? I've got an overall score of 167, is this enough? :uhoh21:
Hi Simona
If your degree is somehow recognised in Australia, you shouldn't have any trouble getting into GU nursing.
From what I recall stat is more of a supplement to your exisiting education and an indicator of how you'll perform rather than a method for entry in its own right; I could be wrong though.

It is a tough question!! you have no ideea! Since I was a child I dreamed to be a vet, I put a lot of effort and passion in that...but I don't feel the passion anymore. I think I was too young when I decided to became a vet, too young when I was accepted to uni...at 18 I was student and happy, at 24 I graduated, I don't know where the passion ended but at 28 I started to have serious second thoghts, and here I am, 30 yo and I can't wait to start a new career. It was a very difficult step to admit that I don't want to do this anymore, especially to tell my husband that I want to give up, he was there for me all the time, 6 long years in uni, he was my moral and financial support. When I told my family that I'm not going to do the conversion exams but try to became a nurse I felt so good, I felt free. I know is not easy to understand...
btw: I have a east-european degree
I can understand the concept of wanting a career shift... I completed my nursing - then did a teaching degree (while nursing to pay for it)... then after teaching a short while have now found myself in a nurse education role - a sort of merging of the two. I think that in everything we do we find positives & negatives - it is just wether you feel the negatives outway the positives that determine whether you change or keep doing.....
Cheers
And good luck with nursing - just remember - your patients talk back in nursing... :rotfl:
