Re: Midwifery
 

Hi,
I am just going into my second year of Nursing at Griffith Uni. I am a permanent resident so i pay domestic rates but my friends who are Citizens have a HECS loan (only available to citizens).

In my first year i paid just over $2500 each semester (there are two semester's in each year) which have to paid up front by a certain cenus date ( which was a month after starting each semester). However this semester the fees i am due to pay by march is $3100 which i was slightly surprised by as i have one less subject to do as we go on placement at the end of March.

Hope this info helps! :)

Hi everyone,

What qualifications do you need to study nursing/midwifery in australia?

Thanks

Re: Midwifery
 

You don't need any qualifications to study midwifery here. You have to sit a STAT test which is a multiple choice english/maths/logic exam and use the results of that as your entry grade. If you have no high school qualifications at all it could be worth doing a TAFE course or something first though to strengthen your application, or you can often pay the university direct to study an individual unit to prove that you can achieve a decent grade at a tertiary level.

They often use it at the wound edges to cause vasoconstriction and stop bleeding. Lignocaine is also used xx
