i wish healthtrain & holmesglen were close to me.

Vic Uni is so disorganised and or lazy, we have to wait for ages to hear of when they will be conducting interviews

so imagine how long we have to wait to actually hear if we actually got in or not

it is so frustrating

Hi all,
You can call Healthtrain, and they send you info out....need to sit another test, they don't accept VETASSESS results. There is an info night coming up next month that is compulsory also.

If you ring Vic Uni I'm sure you would get some info out of them, they were quite good when I spoke to them. I have the enrolment paperwork for them too, if I don't get into Holmesglen or RMIT they are my next chance...my thinking is, it doesn't matter how far I have to drive, its only for 12 months, and this is something I REALLY want to do.

Regarding your maths results, maybe you can offer to do a refresher course, or something that will help with your skills? Perhaps that is worth mentioning to them when you go?

Good luck to each one of you, I just wish it was all over, THE WAIITING GAME, that is, and we were all at school, instead of wishing we were

Hi Sharon

At least you have a day and time to look forward to lol

I am sure you would do fine, i suppose it is all about having the passion for nursing, and if you can convey that to the interviewing panel i am sure you will have no problems

Not as easy as that i know, i will probably be a nervous wreck when i finally attend the interview

Hi Nalan,
You must think positive. VU letters will be received in the next 2 days, and if I HAPPEN to get a letter from them, I don't need to accept it now, so YOU can take my spot (I wish for you), but you will be ok, just keep thinking positive, and it will happen. This morning when I got out of bed, I made a concious descision that today was the day I was going to get my letter, you try it tomorrow xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I wish you all the best, let me know how you go!
For further correspondence once our studying starts, my email is fivekidsdog@hotmail.com xx

Hi Nalan,
Keep your chin up my friend. You will be ok. They tell you very little until you get your letter....its the way it goes everywhere. They wouldn't tell me I had been accepted either. Hopefully a letter will arrive for you tomorrow xxxxxx
My fingers are crossed for you

Hey Nalan,

Hang in there the wait will be worth it ! It is such a long process I know and it feels like everything in your life gets put on hold! I'm sure you will get good news soon. Best of luck!!
