Hi everyone!
I hope there are still some of you who are still active on NurseCentral! Thank you for all your posts on this forum. It has been incredibly insightful to understand both the good and bad of becoming a Nurse. However, I have not been able to dig up any information on what it takes to actually get there.
I am completing my Biomedical Bachelor's degree at Unimelb in 2015 this year. I live with my single mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago and I've had to look after her after her radiotherapy treatment. This, in addition to working part-time, has negatively impacted my studies (67.5% WAM average :( )
My dream is to work in a healthcare setting where I can provide direct care to patients, similar to the care that my mother received from her nurses. I want to be accepted into a Master of Nursing but the entry requirements are ambiguous.
Master of Nursing Science FAQ Page:
"This varies from year to year and is entirely dependent on the standard of the applicants for that year. As such, we do not publish a GPA requirement."
Long story short: 1. Does anyone know how competitive entry into the Master of Nursing Sciences at University of Melbourne is? 2. Is there minimum successful GPA/or weighted average mark (WAM) to be guaranteed an offer? 3. Is there any other additional advice or anything else you can offer? (a "hug" is also nice :) )
Thank you all so very much for any comments you may have and for contributing to the valuable information on this forum. :-)
