staffordshiregirl Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 It is really hard work but my favourite lessons in Uni. Apparantly its meant to be hard work as in the olden days only rich people were meant to study it so its purposely made up of Latin, so if you know any Latin you are already ahead lol xx Nope I am poor!! Haha ? I know I will have to study really hard I am motivated to do it so that's got to be half the battle surely x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffordshiregirl Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yes in my second year. Some Universities have elective placements and ours does but I won't be able to go anywhere amazing with the kids and Hubbys job lol. It all depends on whether you can get a hospital to take you on and you will need your own insurance to go abroad and registration with Australia nursing board as a student. Maybe I might go for transition which is something some Unis do which is observation for a few weeks. I could do a holiday in Aus and fit in my transition then and wouldn't need insurance or registration as would just be observing lol xx That sounds like an idea then so do they do that at the end of the degree?

Counting Stars Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yeah I have to work to be clever lol sadly I am not one of these people who just take it all in the first time they hear it lol but being motivated and organised is key. I also have a photo of my husband and myself in Australia on the back of my Uni diary just for that extra motivation lol xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Stars Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 That sounds like an idea then so do they do that at the end of the degree? X Our Uni does it every year, 3 weeks in first year, 4 in second, not sure about third as I haven't got there yet lol. Not sure about other Unis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 You have to pay for everything yourself so if you pick somewhere abroad its mega bucks lol x I don't see it happening lol I'd love to do it though. Maybe I'll manage somewhere in Europe at the very most x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jac2011 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Can I just add that my sister finds out today when she starts her access course to nursing today :-). She will be 30 this year, she did bad at school, has had a very unlucky life and despite wanting to look after people/children since being 10 years old she has never had the opportunity. I think seeing me enjoying my degree has given her a little push and I am so proud of her for finally taking the plunge as I know how hard it is once you are a mature student. Here's to the next generation of student nurses (or other healthcare professionals)! xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Stars Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 That's fantastic. Well Done her for taking the steps to try and I'm sure your support and encouragement has helped immensely. Will keep everything crossed for her xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jac2011 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thankyou, she was so scared of doing it and doubting herself. I live nearly 3 hours away so I couldn't do much to help her but she has done it herself, been into college to discuss and doing very well. I didn't think she would do it but she did and proved me wrong too. I just know how happy it will make her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffordshiregirl Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Wow jac2011 that's lovely very inspiring too. We'll done to your sister for taking the plunge and starting her journey towards the health care profession. I am so worried too literally just opened a letter from the college who is running the access course. My first thought was ooh no they don't want me...but it was just a letter to say they had application form and will be in touch shortly for briefing session and interview. Phew!! This is where lack of confidence gets u x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 How do you guys hear back so quickly! I applied the other day. Last year I applied in feb and didn't hear anything till like June or July! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffordshiregirl Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 My letter says they will be contacting me again during spring 2014 to arrange briefing and interview. I just desperately want to know I am in then I can relax a little and enjoy the remaining time I have left with my daughter before it all kicks in. Because I am still on maternity leave at the moment x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Stars Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Ohh exciting stuff! Sometimes they are really slow Stacey. I'm sure you will be fine though and get interviews and places. It's just the waiting and it doesn't get any better when you apply to Uni in fact it's worse when you can use track! lol x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jac2011 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I remember when I applied for Uni in Sept, I heard back in Oct for an interview in Dec. I got news from that interview in 2 days. 2nd Was an interview at Bournemouth in Jan, they took a whole month to tell me, then told me I hadnt got accepted but was on another list that would be considered later - that took another month to hear about. 3rd was Notts and I had to rejig interview from Jan to March (son was born 23rd Dec) and got told within 6 hours. No set pattern I am afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
