Questions about First Year Nursing

I’ve made it out of ATAR and am looking to study Nursing at Curtin next year, but I have no clue about what to expect or how I should prepare.

1. What are some things I should purchase before starting the course, and where could I get them?
2. I’m not expecting it to be easy, but how did other students find the course? I’ve seen some people on this subreddit say it was very fast-paced from the beginning.
3. Regarding the uniform, is that also something I should purchase before starting my first semester? And how strict are Curtin’s uniform guidelines?

Any additional advice for nursing or first-year students would be amazing too, thank you :’)
