Victoria, when they began in the Uni the head of department, an ex matron, told me this was not a good thing.
It prevents good nurses from entering the profession as they may not be good achedemicaly.
So it began and said the drop our rate was horrific.
The course is now four years, two in the class, one in a hospital doing all the various shifts, then the last back at Uni.
Before they can enter a course they must undergo a phycology test to establish if they are suitable.
Melbourne Uni has the school of medicine, for almost ten years they failed to fill all the places, improved now.
But the intake each year is about 140, of which only about 60 will qualify, little wonder we are short of medical persons.
But getting off at Redfern, that of course as you may have heard has another meaning.
