Hello everyone!
Hopefully I am allowed to post this even though I'm not enrolled for nursing yet. I have just submitted my VTAC application for Bachelor of Nursing degree next year - fingers crossed.
I have previously done one semester of a Bachelor of Nursing at university several years ago however for personal reasons at the time university wasn't for me.
In the meantime I have worked, travelled, completed my Certificate IV in Vet Nursing and been Vet Nursing for 3 years now. I feel I am ready to go back to university and complete my Bachelor of Nursing and am both excited/scared at the prospect. I feel like there are some similarities (patient care, communicating with wide variety of people, dealing with stressful situations) but I know it will be dramatically different to what I am used to.
Has anybody made a career change into nursing from something else? Any advice on being a mature-aged student (I'm in my mid-late 20's).
I have my fingers crossed for ACU, La Trobe, RMIT or Deakin in Melbourne! :)
