Has anyone here done a Foundation Year before Nursing as an international student?
Hi everyone!
I’m an international student who graduated from senior high school (GAS strand), and I don’t have the Biology, Chemistry, and Physics prerequisites required for many nursing programs.
I’m considering doing a Foundation Year in Australia before starting a Bachelor of Nursing, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the different pathways.
Some questions!! feel free to answer any if applicable and you have knowledge:))
Has anyone here gone through this route?
Which foundation program did you take?
Did it guarantee entry into nursing?
Was it difficult to transition into the bachelor’s program?
Would you recommend it, or is there a better pathway?
I’d really appreciate hearing** **about your experiences or any advice you wish you’d known before starting. Thanks so much!
