Hi Emmiej,
I'm enrolled to start the Diploma of Nursing at MSIT in semester 1/2011. I'm going full time, and will be there as an international student (I'm a POM).
I guess you must be local as you're considering part time v full time. Lucky for you! International student fee's are sooo expensive!
I've researched studying at Southbank and a couple of other RTO's but feel that the schedule is better at MSIT. Also, the qualification from MSIT (unlike some, but not all RTO's) is recongnised by other universities if you want to progress to a Bachelor of Nursing (RN training) after you have achieved EN level the Diploma is easily recognised.
I'm going to the Alexandra Hills campus as I felt the location was better than the Logan one - they offer the course at both campuses. I guess you probably need to think about which campus is easier for you to get to.
In regards to teachers, I've had good and bad feedback about all of the TAFE's and moreso some of the RTO's.
MSIT have probably been the most professional in their communication by email and providing detail.
Good luck!
