Hi All,

Im looking for an institute that can do the testing for the Numercay and Literacy tests, so I can enrol through Tafe NSW for the Enrolled Nurse course. Tafe is running the Enrolled nurse courses but not the Numeracy and Literacy testing??? You would think they are running the tests seen its a requirement of the course.

Its the only thing thats holding me back on my long term dream of wanting to become a Nurse.

Can anyone help? It would be very much appreciated

Hey

I just got accepted into the new TAFE scholarship program in sydney. After attending the info session we were able to sign up for the nurmecy and literacy test then. Its is run by the tafe, you pay around 100 to do it. Hope it goes well

Thanks for your reply, thats interesting, cause I applied for the exact same scholarship through 3 different tafe insitutes and I was told that you had to have the numeracy and literacy testing done before and to attach the results with the application. I applied anyway and I found that even though part of the entry requirements were you had to have done the testing but none fo the tafes were offerring the tests... How the hell am I supposed to do the tests if n one is running them... It has really frustrated me and has stopped me from making a difference in the nursing industry...

They do not know what kind of person they are missing in this industry, and as long as they are making it hard for people, the longer it will take for decent people to come into the nursing industry who are keen, hard working and dedicate and who are willing to give it everthing they have to make it in....

Confused but not giving up yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!
