Hi, I've applied to start a nursing diploma at QUT starting semester 2, 2013.

I don't have much of an idea of what will be expected from me with regard to study load although I've just read on another thread it's approximately four half days on campus and 40hrs a week on prac.  Is this what will be expected straight away or is the first semester or two mostly campus based?

Im just trying to get things in place with regard to childcare and support systems etc!

Thanks in advance!

Hi EmmaAnderson,

I started the diploma at the start of the year in Victoria. I study part time two days a week and work full time. It's not easy the study load is big there is so much to learn. Hope I don't scare you. When I am not at work I study. There have been a few full time students that do four days a week change to part time because of the work load. Everyone is different though and you might cope really well. With every subject so far there has been four assessments for each. I am currently studying anatomy and physiology, and feel like I don't put my books down having to learn all the body systems, but I love it knowing at the end I will be a nurse and then hopefully go to uni. 

Feel free to ask more questions.
