Entrance Test - Numeracy & Literacy

good luck to all

and congratulations whom have succeeded

Hope you all make a change for the best

WE NEED IT

STICK TO RULES AND ABIDE BY THEM

STAND UP FOR YOUR SELF

OR ELSE THEY WILL WALK ALL OVER YOU

VOLUNTEERS/JOB PLACEMENTS WATCH OUT YOUR THE MOST VULNEBERABLE AND WE THE PAID NURSES OR PCA GET OUR HOURS CUT BACK BECAUSE THEY HAVE FREE WORKERS. OH WELL ITS THE SYSTEM IN THE AGED CARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU WILL GET THE WORST RESIDENCE AND THE MOST WORK AND TOLD TO ALOT OF THING S YOU WONT LIKE!

JUST REMEMBER TO STICK TO TWO PEOPLE OR STOP WORKING THATS THE POLICY STOP AND REFUSE.

GET HELP BEFORE YOU TRANSFER ELDERLY TO SHOWER CHAIRS AND MAKE SURE THEY COME BACK. OR ELSE RING THE COMPANY AND FROM YOU MOBILE AND LET THEM KNOW OF YOUR SITUATIONS. IF YOU CANT FIND SOMEONE

ITS OK THEY ARE AT FAULT NOT YOU.DONT RUIN YOUR NURISNG CAREER FOR ANYONE THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT

DONT BREAK ANY RULES OR TAKE SHORT CUTS

FOLLOW THE PCA YOU SHOULD SEE WHAT HAPPENS

OH WELL AT LEAST THE RESIDENTS GET FED AND THE OCCASIONAL CHANGE INCONTINENCE I BELIEVE.

ARE YOU UP TO ALL THE EMOTIONAL SIDE OF IT

WITH A LITTLE TIME YOU WILL BECOME LIKE THE REST AND YOUR LOVE FOR THE RESIDENCE WILL BECOME A JOB.

SOMETHING WILL DETERIORATE INSIDE YOU YOUR EMOTIONS WILL CEASE.

GOOD LUCK

MAKE A CHANGE IS MY MOTION HERE.

WE ARE ALL ONE

TAKE CARE

HI All,

I am currently looking at taking the numeracy and literacy test to gain entry to Meadowbank Tafe (NSW) to study the Diploma of Enrolled Nursing, does anyone out there have any infomation as to where i can find sample tests for the NSW numercy test? So far I have found samples of the college of nursing web site for literacy test.
I would also like infomation what to expect through the whole process?

Cheers
Bec

Hi All,
I, too am new to this forum, and have completed my VETASSESS exam last Friday. Just waiting for results now. I have applied at RMIT and Holmsglen for midyear intake and would love the opportunity to be a nurse.
Just a little tip...LISTEN to the instructions given. We were asked to INITIAL our personal details, most participants signed. We were asked NOT to seal our envelopes, and again, participants sealed envelopes.
I guess it should be part of the test, and most probably is. If you can't follow a SIMPLE instruction, what hope is there?
Anyway, on a brighter note, I am looking forward to receiving my results. Does anyone know if they are available online once processed, or just keep running to the letterbox each day?
My fingers are crossed, at 39 I've finally decided what I want to do :)

Hi Brooklyn,

The questions I had on my vetassess were 1) If you had a family move into the neighbourhood who couldn't speak or understand english very well what would you do to help them? 2) If you were confined to a bed for a lengthy period of time what qualities would you like your carer to have? 3) Write a letter to a family member or friend convincing them to give up smoking and the consequences of being a smoker.

I hope this helps some, Good Luck!

Hey Sarbear,

just wondering how you went with your test? Do you feel confident? Megan

Hey Nalan,

you're right the waiting is torture!!

I waited 6 weeks to get my vetassess results!

Hang in there and keep yourself busy!

Hi Megan

I think i went ok. I completed all the maths and engish section of the test aswell as the writing section.

I had to guess the last few answers for the maths section as i was running out of time.
Im more concerned about getting into a course . Holmsglen moorabin only take 40 people! grrrrrrrrr

Hi Sarbear

I have just got into Mayfield and it is fully funded, although it is a traineeship and I have to work 6 hours somewhere. I sat the exam last Wednesday, was called Thursday with results, had an interview yesterday and was told at interview that I had a place.

I know they also had the normal course part time 2 days per week, and I think that started in June.

Keep an eye on their web site.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nalan,

Well done with your exam!

Don't stress too much about your score you will be able to make it up in your interview! Just go in really positive and confident in your abilities! Also I found it handy to google interview questions the day before my interview just to have a bit of an idea on some of my answers and it did help!!

Let me know when you hear anymore, Megan

Hey Sharontemby,

Congrats on your fantastic score!

Do you need to go for an interview now?

I'm sure you will be in with a good chance at Holmesglen. Let us know how you go!

Megan
