Gold Coast Tafes Diploma of Nursing (Online)

Come on, guys, i need some help here! ANYONE??
=(

Thanks for that Bev, i guess i just needed some reassurance =).
I have paid the 10% deposit and signed the forms for the payment plan, so it looks like its all going ahead =)
That's great that you still get support from teachers and other students thru email and chatrooms, i was a bit worried that there wouldn't be enough support..

Hi,
I just signed up for the same course starting August this year. I'm very exited to be finaly on my way to become a nurse. I've done a lot of research and this online course seems to be the only way I can study right now( unless I pay absolute fortune in childcare fees!!) and I'm sure that in the end it won't matter if it was done online or in classroom.
Good luck with your study and hope to see you around(online :))

Doing really well with the course, I am loving it, it gets hard at times trying to fit a diploma, work, kids, family etc but I am getting there. In September I go to the Gold Coast Tafe for 2 weeks to do my exams and practical so I am pretty sure my placements will be Oct/Nov , thats if I pass everything, fingers crossed. Michka, you will love it I am sure :)

Hi Jodez, this is the website with contact details: http://www.goldcoast.tafe.qld.gov.au/cis/index.php?script_name=coursedetails&course_id=3331

So around five weeks all up...
Plus 400 hours of work exp but that can be done close to wherever you live =)
As far as I know (i haven't actually started the course yet) everything else is online.

Jodez, I don't know when the closing date for applications is/was, but its starting on 6th of August... I'd say give them a call and hope for the best =)
Good luck!

Hey, for ages I have been looking for online nursing diploma course, but only found it though you guys. I'm now looking at staring in March 2011.

If anyone can help me out, I have a few questions....

There is a lot of prac in this course (which is good) but is it really full on completing the practical side of things as well as the assignments and studying?

What is the course like, is there a lot of support to help you learn?

And, are all the exams done on the gold coast during the residential week?

I'd really appreciate someones help and if you have any more info for me.

Thanks guys

Hi Everyone.

Hoping someone may be able to assist with my enquiry.
Due to financial committements (mortgage bills etc) I can not afford to take 18months of work to study full-time at Tafe NSW so I am wondering if there are any places training colleges/institues in NSW that offer the Diploma of Nursing (Enrolled/Division 2 Nursing) by Distance Education and/or Online????

I have notice that in Queensland the Gold Coast Institute of TAFE offeres this course in online mode, but it does requires some trips to the Gold Coast to completed the practical/residential classes. Has any one in NSW completed this course through Queensland TAFE by online mode and got work in NSW? If so, how did you find the course, was it hard, did you have lots of support etc from Queensland TAFE?? Iam thinking of doing this course, but want to make sure it is the right choice and best option.

Thanks, Melanie
