Thank you, joannep!

Thank you for your luck and very helpful advice, ceridwyn. :)

Thank you for your welcome and advice, talaxandra. In terms of the sciences, none of our universities I am looking at have it as a requirement, I am just concerned that I might struggle with the workload not having a senior level of high school science in my backround.

Hi there! Forgive me if I make a mistake. I am very new to these forums and slightly anxious to be posting but I feel it will be worthwhile! I am currently in year twelve (graduating in '11) in NSW and am considering nursing as a potential career path. I have always had a fascination with science and medicine and found myself to be good at caring for and to others, the career of nursing has always intrigued me. Now, here is where I am a bit baffled. In terms of nursing programs, my options would mostly be UWS (closest to home), UTS, or UOW if I chose to go to school away from home. Have any of you attended nursing programs at these schools? If so, what are their programs like, both clinical and theory? I intend on going to open days and contacting the universities themselves, however I wanted to ask those who know best - the students of their programs, and the graduates. Also, I am a little concerned about my subject choices. I am only doing general math and no sciences, but lots of English, history and a language. I am wondering how disadvantaged I will be in university? I have always done well in Science in my junior years, and sort of regret not picking it up for HSC - but it is too late now. Any advice and stories you might have of your own nursing education and career would be great. Thank you in advance. :)
