Thanks again to everyone and Tookie too for the latest reply. I actually received all my textbooks (all but 2) on friday so i have been reading up on A & P. :smackingf I am toroughly enjoying it so far and finding it quite interesting. i know I will get to the boring parts as well, but right now I feel great that i am filling my brain with knowledge at least. All I have to do now is wait another week to get my actual study materials! Ahh there's nothing quite like waiting another whole week for the mail plane to arrive I am loving it already! I feel like I am doing something worthwhile and it makes me really happy! Thanks again all!

Thanks, thanks and more thanks! Best wishes!

Hi and thanks! I'm with Charles Darwin Uni... what one are you with? I know there is a forum thing on part of the website that you can get into with others who are doing the same units, so that will be good, but obviuosly I have to wait until it starts! Just can't wait! Thanks again and good luck with your own studies and kids!

Hi Grace (??) Many thanks for your kind words and encouragement! Yes, I understand what you mean about things being a little different compared to Oz, but yes, there is still heaps of valuable info here too. I've had a fair bit to do with remote clinics and hospitals up here since the birth of my 2nd child (I have 3) and have just been inspired by nurses and their caring ways. I cannot imagine myself wanting to do anything else! I know there will always be different sides to nursing, but that is what makes a nurse a nurse right? I am looking forward to caring for those in need in the future and making a difference to their lives in some small way :) I have made a few lovely friends up here that are nurses and I love talking to them - they are full of love and care so much. I have wanted to do this for some time now and it is finally happening! Just had to wait for the kids to get a little older as we have NO childminding facilities out here! But, I am on my way and can't wait to experience all that nursing has to offer! Why don't more people want to do it... just can't figure it out! :rotfl: Thanks again Kelly

Hi everyone! Thanks for this wonderful site... I am just about to start my first year of uni to become a RN. I finished High School 15 years ago and just sat a STAT test to gain entry. I actually got a high enough score and was also offered a place in my course straight away! I have 3 kids and we live in a very remote part of the Northern Territory in Australia. That means I will be doing all my study externally! I'm pretty excited about starting but now have the dreaded wait for my materials to arrive in the mail (and that is only once a week!) I have read alot of posts on here over the past few weeks and thought it was about time to introduce myself! So, hi everyone - new and old - and I hope to gain alot through this forum... I know I will, I already have... thanks! :) Kelly
