Hi everyone!
My name is Mindy, and I currently reside in New York. My husband moved here two years ago to live, but we are moving back to Australia in December. I would like to return to school to get my second Bachelor's degree in nursing, and we are going to live with his family during the time I'm in school (or until he gets a job that can support both of us while I'm going to school). His family lives in Ballarat, VIC, so naturally I am going to try to get into the University of Ballarat.

I don't know entirely how it works in Australia, as I am from the US, but what kind of competition am I up against? I had a 3.6 (out of a 4.0) GPA when I graduated college here, but I have been informed that the system is different there. I am also wondering what the job prospects are like as a new graduate.

If anyone could shed any light on this, I would so greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much!
