Re: Did you mean that CSU only does a transition course externally and you have to be an EN to get in?
Anyone can do on campus from the start, but they don't do first year nursing off-campus (technically 3 of their first year subjects are still available externally as they are part of non-nursing fully external courses). So either you do first year externally somewhere else first (as mentioned my prev poster) then cross fingers and apply or else do your EN first. UNE is the same (great uni for distance support, by the way) in that they don't do first year off-campus. Since the uni's don't do a common first year, doing it one place in the only hope of transferring to CSU is quite risky (e.g. UniSA don't have any placements in first year by the looks of it so that wouldn't match up with what CSU considers a 'first year').
Yes, I wish CSU would advertise the fact better and not mislead people.
CQU res schools are one week per semester, so two weeks per year.... but CQU also has a third 'semester' (they call them terms) to fast track (or re-do failed subjects) but not a huge range of subjects/units (they call them courses) are offered in the summer term.
Hope that helps and doesn't cause more confusion.
