University Melbourne or RMIT

Published

Which university would be better to study nursing for asian students ? University of Melbourne or RMIT or Sydney university ?

I heard that University of Melbourne favors white students.

Which university would employers/hospitals prefer to hire nursing graduates from ?

Can somebody with personal experiences or have friends studying in these 3 places give comments ?

Hospitals prefer graduates with good results and skills - the university is not relevant. Many use a computer-matching system for graduates based on results.

All universities in Australia have an equal-opportunity intake system, and none "favors white students"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the input.

Are the university results publicly available to all hospitals ? Then wouldn't that be an invasion of privacy ?

University results are published as soon as they are known. ALL results that are passes - if you fail your name does not appear. But our system is different in that it does not matter how well you passed it is passing that counts. Remember we have a "competency based" system where the emphasis is on "how well can you do your job". Possibly ties in with the strong Australian belief that higher learning does not neccessarily make you fitter for what must be done.

The computer matching system which was used in Victoria when I graduated, meant that you selected your favoured hospitals, and you interviewed at each. They then selected their top candidates and if there was a match, you were offered a graduate program job.
