Wow! That certainly makes the decision a lot harder... I have heard that UTS is the better course, but I guess it just depends on the individual. Fingers crossed though that we get in somewhere. At least that way if things don't work out or we find the course does not suit us, we may be able to transfer. Robyn

Will go full time I think. Teaching at Strathfield is really good - the teachers are excellent and the course is very comprehensive. Also prac starts straight away, which is great as it is the only way that you can be sure whether or not you will really like teaching itself or not. The only reason I am hoping to change is because I have always wanted to do either teaching or nursing, but just feel that I could give more of myself in nursing. Teaching seems to be very restricted in terms of the curriculum and the hours and holidays are not all that they would appear to be, ie. they seem almost completely taken up with work... Seems insane that I am still unsure what I want to do at my age, but at least there is a chance to change and grow in this day and age. We are quite lucky really. Def have to keep in touch though.

No, unfortunately and definately not coming in from school. Am 35, so have been working for a long time, but have always wanted to do something more. Started teaching at ACU Strathfield this year, but hoping to change to nursing next year. Just think that I will be able to give more as a nurse. Big decision to make, but very exciting too.

Hi, I have also applied to do nursing at ACU North Sydney next year, but have my first preference at UTS. Good luck!
