I love it. It's what I've wanted to study for like ten years, and it's lived up to my hopes. It is stressful. They expect a lot of work and standards of quality are high. I feel like giving up sometimes, but that's pretty normal. I really enjoy most of my subjects, though. I just wish we got more practical experience in hospitals. I feel like I'll still be pretty unprepared by the time I graduate.


Mmm. Here in Australia, I think we have the same issues with experience regarding nursing and such, but for interest's sake, there's a really cool government program for GPs. Basically, the government pays off your Uni debt, and in return you do a work placement when you leave Uni in a rural town.

But hey, you'll be fine :P. The rest of your cohort know as much as you do, and I'm certain you'll be in good hands when you start nursing out in the Real World. Plenty of experienced nurses prepared and expecting to have to tell you all which way is up. :P

Yah, I know. I'm Australian too. :D

That's gonna be the best part. It's an industry of people who take care of people, so as you'd expect, really strong camaraderie between nurses.
What profession do you see your Politics and Media degree leading you to?

:O Hello, fellow Australian!

I've been looking at academia more and more recently, I'm quite interested in social media as a way of assisting policy making and as a way of fostering political involvement.

However, my go-to, safe bet is definitely public relations. I'm interested in the NGO sector and interest lobbies. I'm planning to look into making some contacts over the Summer with a professional association that handles some internship opportunities in public relations, and when I get back into Uni next year I'll follow up through the Uni careers guidance office. They had a couple of cool positions working with a small independent performance group, although they were expired offers.

Going to apply for a Uni magazine position as a 'web officer' to help pad out the resume a bit, as well, as it's relevant experience.

The Politics Major I'm doing half for interest, and half as future specialization - I don't expect to use it career-wise, at least not in my initial couple of years gathering experience.

Da.

The fact of the matter is that chest pain is fairly serious business - you really can't afford to take chances with that sort of thing. So even if it's not been persistent, you probably need to make arrangements to consult your GP.

What are the benefits if I choose the voodoo priestess? Because I don't think my insurance covers that.

Heh :P

My father is a typical Asian father. I don't see him much, but when I do, he nags me about doing a 'useful' degree.

So my plans have to be airtight, if only to save me the stress of a prolonged conversation about it being too late for me to switch to a Law degree, or an engineering degree, or medicine, etc. etc.

Benefits? I just said that you're dying. All anybody can do is ease your passing. Seeing an actual voodoo priestess before you go out is sure to provide enough giggles to last until your time comes.
