I figure if I dont hear anything close to the date I'll call. I had the blood test taken a few days ago to see if I'm still immune so hopefully won't need them. how much do the shots cost?

yeah good idea. they are $26 each, you get one, then another in a month then the last one 6months from the date of the first one. can i ask if you have the info booklet they gave out at the pre-selection test could you tell me the books we need and who they are written by? i have the fundamentals of nursing so far, i have misplaced the booklet :( thanks :D

Ok I emailed them apparently some have them where as the rest of us did not order them prior to their christmas shut down so they won't b ready till 30th. What a bad excuse seeing as we ordered them the same time

Hi!

I rang the suppliers for the shirts, they said they will be put in the mail this friday. I enrolled about 3 weeks ago and went in and picked up and paid for my ID card and got my TAFE diary and nurses kit! I have only got 1 text so far, might just rely on the library, the books are just so expensive, I never seem to get what I want on ebay

the shirts were $85 but they were pretty good quality some tafes just use polo shirts which are about $30 so it depends i guess, my nurses kit was $50, and my id card was $30. plus the text books are $700 if you get them new. ebay is much cheaper. i went for bremer as it was closer but it is more expensive then most others i have seen. they also dont offer vet-fee help like most other tafes.
