Hi everyone that is doing nursing in 2005 and those already studying it! I don't know about you all but I am really happy I am doing nursing. I can't wait to start! I decided on this career 3 yrs ago and I still feel passionate about doing it. Anyways...

Where are you doing nursing?
How do you feel about it?
What nursing career do you have in mind?

 

[GirlGoneMad]

I'm doing nursing at Hawkesbury.
I love nursing and can't wait to start!
After doing bachelor of nursing, I want to do a midwifery course and a Graduate Diploma in Nursing (Child and Family: Karitane)

Nursing isn't my thing (I'm an allied health girl), but I just wanna say congrats for picking it, nurses have such a crap job, we need them, yet they are so underappreciated.

well i thought about nursing but when my mum stayed in hospital for 15 days i saw the way nurses worked....poor ppl were overworked, underpaid and verbally abused by bet-weting half dying old men........so yeh...i kind of reconsidered.....but goodluck, its great that ur doing what u love

I can't wait to start! I'm combining my degree with Early Childhood Education, with I'm so bloody happy about! I love both sides of my degree and can't wait to start. Mines 4 years though, and I want a Graduate Diploma in Midwifery too

I decided on Nursing in Year 12, took a year off inbetween, and now I'm more than ready to start

Truth be told, I am considering Graduate Medicine, but a fair bit into the future for me to be making decisions just yet

I'm a CSU Bathurst (bet ya couldn't tell, aye?)

I was tossing up between Early Childhood (2nd pref) and Nursing. And I was possibly considering medicine down the track too. (when they have it at UWS in a few years!) I'm unsure whether I'll go that far but a more realistic goal for me at hte moment is to work in a baby health centre once I've graduated.

Thanks for the encouragement! To me nursing is a rewarding job though.

 

[White Rabbit]

Yep, know what ya mean, I was tossing up between the two and came across the course at CSU and jumped for it!

LOL, I'm hoping for Med at Wollongong or Western Sydney too!

If that doesn't happen (which is highly likley) I'm hoping to be an RN/Midwife in the bush, and one day, work for the Royal Flying Doctors, in which case, I'll need to be both anyway

But I reckon if we both put our minds to it, we can both make Grad Med! Heres to that, aye

congrats on your career decision. Plenty of nurses do grad/undergrad med after they've worked a few years in the profession. So the interview for you guys will be a breeze

 

[White Rabbit]

Thanks Bob! Guess we'll see in a few years time

 

[GirlGoneMad]

Yeah, thanks for that encouragement Bob.

I'll be doing nursing at Monash. Part of why I want to do nursing stems from a) spending a lot of time in hosp and b) having a close family friend who is a nurse.
At the moment I have my heart set on respiratory nursing/ward.

Bet you're all looking forwards to the clinical placements this year? I can't wait.

 

[White Rabbit]

I'm pretty generic in regards to my field. I'm more interested in Emergency Nursing (especially for the Royal Flying Doctors) but I'm also very interested in Intensive Care Midwifery, or even paediatrics. I'm a little over the place. I do want to work in the UK before I settle down anywhere for a few years - mainly Scotland - and then, when I come back, I'll decide maybe then I'll work in the bush for a few years and then apply for grad medicine, we'll see I guess

My mum works in the respiratory ward at Nepean hospital and she has been for about 6 years. She finds it interesting. Anyway congrats on picking nursing!
