Hey
Any two units of science and any two units of mathematics are recommended.
It's not essential but if you had it then better for you. I studied no science in HS and I found it abit hard but in the end it was ok.l

There is no real assumed knowledge. You'll just have to work a bit harder than those who studied science subjects previously. I studied Bio, Chem, PE, and Gen Maths which have all helped me tremendously with understanding the course but it's definately possibly to do it and get great marks starting with no knowledge. One of my friends this year didn't study and sciences or maths for the HSC and did fine.

Yea it just depends on your ability to pick up the concepts etc. One of the science based nursing courses "pathophysiology" does cover a few science things covered in the HSC but their quite basic so u should be fine

I hear you have to get 100% in some exam that deals with math [drug dosages etc]. Is it hard math? Would year 12 general math be an appropriate prerequisite for the nursing course or are we talking advanced math?

oh ok... i need to brush up on long division lol i suck at it.
would chemistry have been a good subject to have done in the hsc if doing nursing? i dropped out of it b/c i hated it... is there alot of chem in the nursing course?

Some parts of A&P have chem aspects. In not so much the same stuff as from highschool Chem, but using the same sort of thought patterns. It's not a major part of the course. Really the subjects IMHO that are going to help you in a nursing course are Health, Bio, Chem, and Advanced English.shanti96 said:

first day was a bit oerwhelming.... firstly, lab was called off and I had nothing to do for 5 hrs and then patho lec was really scary. the terms they were using were just so :S
overall, I am just pissed b/c I found out there was a scholarship that I could have applied for but missed out on b/c i didnt even know about it..that equity one...ugh.

lol are we on the same page here?
Question 5. What assumptions does the author make about the audience for his / her article? Are you the kind of person s/he wrote the article for? Who might agree or disagree with the ideas?

that was question 3
question 5 is.
breifly outline your aspirations for your nursing career, in other words why you choose nursing and what career path you imagine following in nursing. has this article informed your plan in any way? what other information would you need to make a realistic plan?

^ yup its for DoN
But on uts online, its way different. there seems to be more Q.
but I see what ur saying. in the subject outline booklet they gave its only 5 Q.
Georgie, are you going to be selling your last year TB?... I would be very interested in buying b/c Im not that thrilled at the though of dishing out hundreds of dollars on the textbooks. the ones I really want is the Pathophysiology: The Biological Basis For Disease In Adults And Children and Potter and Perry's fundamentals of nursing.
